I Am Grouchy
Mar. 10th, 2023 06:57 pmI am getting increasingly worried that the result of the SNP election will be that Humza Yousaf will get the most votes, but Kate Forbes will win on second preferences. I'm also fed up with being told that I shouldn't worry about her anti-lgbt beliefs because I'm not married (not the point, and also ouch) or her extremely fucking sketchy stance on reproductive rights because they will never be reversed, as though we don't have an extremely fucking recent example of that not being the case.
I ended up having a huge fucking fight with Cam (one of my best friends and a bloke who two weeks ago would have sworn blind that those were the reddest of red lines for him too) when he said that he was voting for Forbes because he thought that she could bring more people over to independence, as though he hadn't just listened to me doing twenty straight minutes on how if she wins I am leaving the party and will vote against them at every available opportunity.
It ended with Cam whining that could we not just stop talking politics and play D&D, and no Cam, we fucking can't.
Anyway.
I just watched the latest episode of Picard, and there's a scene where Picard turns to the clearly thirty+ Jack Crusher and says "What are you, twenty-three?"
And, like, Jean Luc, honey, have you had a stroke? That man is thirty-five. He has a mortgage. He has a budding interest in DIY.
I have been holding on to hope that the disparity between Jack's stated age of about twenty, and his clearly observable age of father of two who knows about lawnmowers was a clue that there was more to Jack's origins than the show was letting on, but I guess it is just as dumb as it appears.
