It was great, and I hope Gerwig gets more big movies because in addition to being a great director she obviously knows how to manage the massive budgets that come with them.

It's very funny to me that all the usual conservative cosplayers of masculinity - Shapiro, Walsh, etc., are melting down about a movie that is basically a giant masculinity cosplay.

The funniest thing to me what Matt Gaetz's wife (cursed phrase) Ginger complaining that Ken is a "low T" man. No, Ginger, he's no T man, as in he's a plastic doll, he has no testosterone whatsoever. The highest T main character is probably Will Ferrell's character, who is north of 50.

I love how the movie called people out for sexualizing girls' playthings. And the response for the Gaetz household is... to further sexualize children's playthings. From the party that loves to call everyone and everything "groomers".

Not to mention that we all know that neither Ken NOR Barbie ever had actual genitalia. That makes them both transgenders, right?

One thing I realize as I get older is that sexually deviant behavior is much less adults consuming pornography or having too many sex partners and more "I need to find sexuality in places they are clearly not intended."

Like kid's dolls. It's fitting that Gaetz's wife is creepy in a complimentary way to him. We'll all enjoy reading the divorce stories in a decade I'm sure.

Have you ever noticed that we never see Gaetz and Butthead in a room at the same time? The giant forehead is a giveaway.

I've never seen Trump and the Great Pumpkin in the same room at the same time either.

Nor Kevin McCarthy and the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.

One of the other things I've learned getting older is that often there's no hero or villain in a lot of dysfunctional relationships. Both sides are offenders, though often not equal.

Distinguishing that from abusive relationships, of course.

Gaetz was engaged to be married when the story about Onlyfans, underage prostitutes, etc. broke. She saw no problem going ahead and marrying the sleezeball.
