Isn't treason only in times of war? I think that's why they are being accused of sedition instead. I suppose that's kind of a minor point regardless since I think the only major difference between treason and sedition is the wartime distinction.

Equilibrium is definitely a fun movie, but it's hard to avoid the fact that the Matrix does it better.

I remember it had a "Forget the Matrix!" quote on the cover, but when I saw it on a rental store shelf many years ago someone had put a store sticker on it so it just read "get the Matrix!"

This makes me think of some kind of soviet Liberty Prime. "Communism is... non-negotiable."

For sure, the person in that video (Shays Moss) is one of people mentioned in the article who is suing Giuliani.

For sure, it just immediately reminded me of the Simpsons like you said:

"Who are we?" "THE WILDCATS!" "Who are we going to beat?" "THE WILDCATS!"

I hear great things about Jellyfin, but I'm in the Plex camp too. The availability of the Plex app is a big factor. I'm a bit biased in that I bought a lifetime membership years ago so I get all the premium features as well. I believe they still offer deals on plex lifetime membership from time to time. It is really worth it!

This is not really relevant to the discussion at hand (and think your comments are spot on) but you keep using "WILDCATS" in reference to militias... unless there's a different reference that I don't know about, I think you mean the "WOLVERINES". That was the name of the militia formed by kids in Red Dawn (it was their sports team name if I recall correctly)

For authentic poutine, it has to be curds! St-Albert preferrably.

If I recall correctly it was a rogue developer that decided to make a fully nude model and put Elliot's head on it. So it isn't a model of his body at the time, but still obviously a pretty big breach of trust.

Also this article was written in 2015 well before Elliot's transition so that why it uses the older pronouns. I'm definitely a big believer in using a person's proferred pronouns but I don't it is "unfortunate" that older things have their old pronouns in them.

RIP Joey
