We probably can't even afford trump "I did that!" stickers anymore because the print media probably come from China.
How about even many of the same actors in both shows, but in one show she plays "Riley" and in the other show she plays "Alex" each very unique characters that have nothing in common with each other except the same actor.
For extra insanity use the same character names in both shows. Bonus points for using androgynous names like "chris", "pat", or "alex" and swapping genders between each show.
Bottom of keyboard? Are you out of space on your monitor to place additional Post-its with user credentials on them? /s
I'm not so sure of that. It seems like they've served their purpose in getting him into office. "Giving them a break" would also interfere with large agribusiness companies interest in gobbling up financially failing family farms.
Shouldn't that be a "self aware wolves" meme responding?
I'm not sure I'm understanding what you're saying.
Are you saying you're having trouble with dry & sarcastic humor or are you saying the events of the days we're living in are so farcical that you're having difficulty determining truth from fictional statements someone says to you?
You're right, but I didn't want to dive too deep with a throwaway internet comment. I'm using the word "profit" here loosely not to mean only dollars. The act of distribution can negatively affect the rights holder if the person violating the copyright/trademark dilutes, tarnishes, or misrepresents the rights holder's IP.
I touched on this a tiny bit with my comment in there "or negatively affect the profits of the rights holder with your work using their name."

WOW, thank you for this write up! I am able to follow most if not all of this thankfully.
I'm still learning things like this for myself, so I'm happy to share knowledge.
I recently had the tug of war analogy used in an explanation given to me regarding some engineering work to sync a new generator to the grid and it is effectively eye opening.
The tug-of-war was my third attempt at an analogy when I was writing this, so I'm glad the concepts made it through. I was thinking I should have put made Squid Games reference for more clarity about the stakes, like this:
I also assumed that the ERCOT situation was largely or entirely due to gross negligence and Texas things, so it’s nice to learn otherwise. I’d done some reading on the matter awhile back but I mostly just recall the discussion revolving around winter weather without highlighting concerns such as these.
Oh, don't worry, as I understand it there is still plenty of ERCOT negligence. Apparently Texas's ability to deal with over-production or under-production is seriously compromised because of its very small connection to the other grids around Texas (by intentional Texas design). From memory, there's a small link west of Texas through New Mexico, but it can only pull or push a tiny fraction of the electricity riding on the Texas grid so its effectively useless to handle big gridscale swings.
Texas has finally figured out this is a bad idea, and got a check written by Biden's DoE for $360M to make big boy connections to the national power grids. source.
I'm fine with some of my non-Texas tax money going to help the people of Texas step into to the grid the rest of us use. We're all citizens of the USA after all. That is unless Musk and trump decide that $360M is waste that Texas doesn't deserve and cancels the grant through DOGE. Then Texas is back where it started or will have to foot the entire bill themselves.
I keep going back and forth on this for myself. I believe I have a responsibility to contribute to fixing the problems here as it affects others negatively and I have even the smallest amount of power to help fix this.
Hollywood Burbank Airport
Its the only airport I've ever flown in or out of that lets you board an deplane from both the front and back doors on a 737.
Baggage claim is actually outdoors! You get your bag and are standing about 30 feet from the arrivals pickup road.
Its a fun small airport with a prime location.
