I'm sure you've heard this, but the first UK season is thrilling (I am a big fan of all seasons in both countries, but the UK version is overall significantly better).
I think this season is also making the game's one big flaw apparent: Someone always skates through to the finals simply because every other contestant knows from day one that they're too dumb to be a traitor. I won't say the name.
This is showing my age, but I loved watching Alysa Liu skate to a version of Donna Summer's MacArthur Park suite because who doesn't love Donna Summer?! So much joy in that!
I guess because I clicked on something once in 2007, I get all these ads for "Clothes for men who are 5'8" and under," the tone of which is "Are you tired of having to steal clothes from dolls and children?"
I am 5'8" and I would like to testify that this is inventing a problem where none exists.
I laughed out loud. I'm sorry. This picture is going to defy my attempt at alt-text. I know I overuse this word but...astonishing.
This is why for me, the first UK season will always be the best. Just a bunch of nice ordinary people who look like various potatoes inventing the game as they go along. Hair/makeup not required.
It even shows some of them saying "Well, good night, everyone" and walking UP the stairs inside the castle.
I like "Charles R." You feel it was signed by a very earnest third grader who has stoically accepted that there is always going to be another Charles in his class.
If there was an eight-episode behind-the-scenes docuseries about the making of a season of The Traitors, I cannot describe how quickly I would drop everything, including long-standing friendships if necessary, to watch it.
That was shocking and disillusioning, as was finding out that the murdered people learn they're murdered in the morning and are not dragged from their sleep in the middle of the night. (Which, yes, I should have known from the hair and makeup.)
This is full of wonderful Traitors detail--and it explains why the US show pretends the contestants sleep in the castle and the UK version doesn't. It's because the BBC has some weird, dangerous belief that you shouldn't lie to your viewers. Imagine! www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/20...
This is why "Let's give in on some of the trans stuff because it'd be a popular compromise and you have to meet people where they are" is not only immoral but politically stupid.
Republicans were never going to stop there. They stop when you stop them.

I think you know most of what I have to say in response to this, so I'll spare you!*

I think if you're hearing it now, 3 years early, what is really being said is "Don't pull some stunt if your preferred nominee loses and hand the election to the GOP." That seems inarguable to me, but also not worth arguing, since some people hate to hear it as much as other people love to say it.
Mamdani's win was a vindication of "Vote blue no matter who"! Tons of NYCers who didn't like Mamdani voted for him because he was the nominee. It's a good principle--fight for your candidate during the primaries, and then, if necessary, handle your disappointment and get in line.
It's Susan Collins morality--oh well, tut tut, cluck cluck, don't hate me because I'm dutiful. You see it in the new polls that show GOP voters having "no opinion" on tons of issues. I don't think Democrats should run on arguing that Trump voters are all complicit. It's not helpful. But it is true.
I read this column. Her argument is, I don't like Trump's racism but I've decided it's an acceptable tradeoff for the good (?) economy we now have, and I'd vote for him again. I don't know whether that actually makes her worse than a racist; I think it does. To know better and shrug is a moral evil.
I am not going to step into a social-media conversation that brings out the absolute worst tendencies of both sides. But I will offer one useful piece of information: Masto and Fetterman are not up for reelection in November.
That always felt sort of choreographed to me, but I have no evidence for that.
