sometimes the executive function fairy godmother finally shows up, whacks you, and then you’ve got to run around like cinderella on a midnight deadline trying to get things done before time runs out and your brain makes it illegal again

"Former President Donald Trump, bent on staying in power, undertook a sweeping "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including repeatedly pushing lies about the results despite knowing that they were correct, and doubling down on those falsehoods as the Jan. 6 riot raged, a sweeping federal indictment alleges.
This is the third indictment faced by the former president, who -- as the Republican frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race -- continues to insist that the vote was rigged.
Prosecutors say the alleged scheme, which they say involved six unnamed co-conspirators, included enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors" targeting several states; using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations"; enlisting the vice president to "alter the election results"; and doubling down on false claims as the Jan. 6 riot ensued -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and stay in power.
The six alleged co-conspirators include several attorneys and a Justice Department official.
The sweeping indictment, based on the investigation by special counsel Jack Smith, charges Trump with four felony counts: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights...
In the history of the country, no president or former president had ever been indicted prior to Trump's first indictment in April."

I return from BARBIE and I will say that my only true critique is that it is a film much more interested in using Barbie as an allegory for WOMEN as a monolith than it is in exploring femininity and what Barbie means to people who find freedom within that but it's fine
as thoughtful and insightful as I think Gerwig's work can be, I think it very much all comes from a cis heterosexual perspective, femininity is praised and critiqued but also inextricably tied to womanhood, just not in a way thats necessarily revolutionary, womanhood isn't a collection of somewhat arbitrary traits that sometimes come bundled together in a stereotypical package, but something that's always recognizable and familiar and filled with universal experiences
that said, I still think it's a valuable and intelligent look into the struggles of women who do their best to fit the mold they've been given only to realize being a human who's complicated and imperfect makes that task impossible
despite these "issues" I think women of all types and walks of life will find something to connect to in some way, I just don't think it's particularly ready to explore things like Barbie and her connection to homosexual culture, or transness as a broad concept, or the fact that not all women worry about the opinions and expectations of men
