Exactly. I’m not an Olympian… I’ll never see the money that goes into a campaign to compete there. But, how crushing is my future at 50 going to be? If this Olympian contender got treated that way? How is my (dying) middle class, unfit ass going to survive in our dystopian future?

Holy fuck is that depressing… former Olympian contender who was exiled from her home nation due to her political beliefs… became an Uber driver in Miami and then a food server in Los Vegas, at 50, before she choked to death at her solo apartment and was only found because her place of employment reported her missing. Holy fuck.

It certainly wasn’t the one with the Spy Kids Moped Brigade.

I didn’t hear any political commentary about it, and watched it with an open mind that was invested in another Star Wars story, especially after Andor. And I watched it episodically. But, holy fuck. It broke all the force rules built up until this point, and the story didn’t make any sense. The Pitch guy did a great recap of it.

Sounds like removing threats to our democracy is ‘official presidential business’.

Who blatantly tried to stage a coup, in front of the entire world, and the majority of his stooges are going to jail left and right for corruption.

How is it unlikely with 34 counts, though?! Some super rich white guy 2-tier system vibes here

The googling part is news to me, hopefully we find more info as we go. I know everyone’s holding their breath waiting for a big reveal of something.

Was it entirely NOT politically motivated, though? Has there been anymore word on the shooter?

😳I hate how much— how targeted everything is now. I’m not STEM, so even when I’m just commenting or sharing idk how vulnerable I’m making myself.

Edit: thank you.
