More or less gradual, continual bubble bursting since the start.

I become media aware in the late 80s and everything was looking up. We were getting over racism and sexism, getting better at including other, especially well established, long-present cultures in TV and movies and at the grocery store. We had thrown away the attitudes of the past and we were going to move forward as a better society, diverse but still uniquely proud of who we all were and the various places we all came from. The Internet was going to give us all access to the sum total of human knowledge to the benefit of all.

You can see how that’s turned out so far.

No, Money down!

Honestly their way is better.

If you polled people on breathing you’d find 67 to 70% of people in favor of it and 30 to 33% claiming it isn’t American enough because too many foreigners are doing it.

Not a lot of room for humor immediately after a horrible natural disaster. The mild amusements came when the whole nation couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of nothing but the same three AC Japan commercials playing for weeks, and the communal “ghost tremors” we all experienced long after the quake.

You would seriously feel your own heart beating and it would trigger a panic response.

I was in Ibaraki for this earthquake. One of the only times in my life I was ready to accept that it was the end for me.

Thankfully we didn’t get the worst of it where I was, but it was a crazy time for everyone.

Po po po po~n.

Honestly Dark Page recontextualizes the character in some pretty amazing ways. I don’t remember much of her DS9 presence, but as far as TNG goes the character is surprisingly brilliant.

I found it off-putting that the Barbie movie’s solution to its dilemma was voter suppression.

Feels like every survey in the last 12 years is 67% of people claim to be not crazy and 33% people are psychotic. Except for voting, apparently.
