This headline alone will satisfy a certain segment of fans.

Imagine having a conversation for an hour about passing around the candle (yes people made and brought candles), surprising McFadden with a stage performance in homage to “Sub Rosa”, that dovetailed into getting a inflatable candle costume and wether a hypothetical person with a collection of eyes counts as people watching the whole thing.

This post is brought to you by the alcohol at Masquerade Bar.

Of course people on our instance use Voyager (me included).

So is this part of Alpha canon?

🤷‍♂️ At the rate seasons have been getting produced with Kate, and formerly Glenn and Rob doing other shows since 2021, you have two years to catch up. Seasons have been two years apart as of season 15.

I saw multiple instances this year of teens wearing those inflatable arm cuffs for swimming that you give little kids.

The TV show CSI would say otherwise about that.

Yep. The only reason I did it was because I got dragged to a outlet mall by my mother who begged me to want something and she forced me to pick shoes.

This wasn’t even a Presidential Address broadcast live, right? That alone should tell you what this whole thing means to them.

There is a big difference between. Most people who aren’t actively engaged in this type of discourse like you and I, or don’t pay meticulous attention to conservative media outlets, likely don’t know who Kirk is, let alone care.

MLK Jr. got historically important exposure on television with the broadcast of the March on Washington, D.C. This was one of the first civil rights events to be televised. When you have a new medium to disseminate news that for the first time gives you not just the voice but the image of the people involved, I think that has a huge impact. Prior to this, MLK Jr. was a highly respected religious leader.

Most people today, would probably have to seek out non-governmental sides of political discourse, to even know who Kirk is. I have no doubt your average conservative that watches Fox News has been exposed to Kirk, but they likely won’t recall any talking points. He wasn’t in an elected office. Today, that would probably be the only reason any lay person would listen to them.

Someone probably equates the political nature and him being white to what happened to MLK Jr.

I kept thinking of “The Reckoning” the entire episode.
