@ccjones13 I used to assume most of the Woj/Shams fandom/rivalry stuff was ironic but that seems increasingly... not to be the case. — PolitiTweet.org

I've gotten like 17 colds since pandemic restrictions eased, so I'm not sure how optimistic I am that we've learned our lesson but hope never dies! — PolitiTweet.org

@KateAurthur @SonnyBunch @PatrickWeiland I feel like once those movies enter a kid's canon, it's hard to dislodge them! — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

@KateAurthur @SonnyBunch @PatrickWeiland I've determined there's some kind of mysterious, possibly evil, mind-control-related science behind the Minion appeal for young kids. — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

@SonnyBunch @PatrickWeiland Yeah, my point is just that maybe LIGHTYEAR's underperformance has more to do with that specific movie's lack of appeal than general industry trends. (But also I don't know anything, I'm just a humble dad who is being forced to take my kids to see Minions next week.) — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

@SonnyBunch @PatrickWeiland Just anecdotally, my kids—who have seen the trailers for LIGHTYEAR and generally love Pixar movies—have never mentioned any desire to see that movie. But my 4yo daughter giggles uncontrollably every time she sees a Minion on TV. For what it's worth! — PolitiTweet.org

@GrahamDavidA I labored for a long time to unsubscribe from the Nextdoor list for the neighborhood I left six years ago, and have been utterly defeated. I've now accepted it as a just punishment. — PolitiTweet.org

@LucasRachen Well, I wasn't alive in the 1960s/1970s, but in my lifetime I haven't seen a lot of evidence of the American right "sucking it up and accepting the verdict of history." — PolitiTweet.org

Not a great sign for the health of a democracy! — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

Sometimes I think the democracy-in-peril stuff might be overblown, but then I'm reminded that many of the people who clearly saw—and helped thwart!—an attempted coup would be willing to vote again for the guy who tried to execute the coup. — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

In all seriousness, Mormons’ theological reverence for the Constitution has a complicated—and not always great—history. (I get into some of it here: https://t.co/u9LSR7JSTO) But in attempted-coup situations, some old-fashioned reverence for the Constitution can come in handy! — PolitiTweet.org

@TheRewiredSoul As for the Detective Taba scene in the finale, I think your interpretation is extremely charitable, bordering on delusional, but I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. — PolitiTweet.org
