I don't have a firm opinion on whether abortion should be legal. I've yet to see a totally convincing pro-choice argument (not that I've been reading in depth). My main reason for being sort of pro-choice is that it's a controversial topic and since I don't have a firm decided opinion I want to leave it up to personal choice.

Summer doesn't end at Labor Day weekend, it ends on September 21st
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 11 August 2023 21:07 (eight months ago) link
Not controversial here. For example, Christina Rossetti's poem In the Bleak Midwinter is set near the winter solstice. By the same token, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream takes place on the night of summer solstice. Thus we are reminded that for most of the past centuries, summertime ended on the autumnal equinox at September 21st, which was also when winter began.

I guess it's more of an American mindset that I'm talking about.. mostly with the traditional 'back to school' blitz. But public schools here in Oakland started on Monday Aug 7thUnthinkably early when I was a kid

Charter schools do this. If you're willing to sell your soul, of course.

I think I've only posted on this thread once or twice. "Controversial" makes it sound like you're impressed with yourself...I'd rather just stick with the idea that it's an opinion you suspect is shared by very few other people. With that in mind, I think House of Cards (American version, with the discredited actor) is a much more compelling show about devious people than Succession. I don't know if either takes itself very seriously, but of the two, House of Cards is even trashier, which is reassuring on that front.

I couldn't get through House of Cards. we watched the first season and it just got increasingly stupid and we gave up on it at the beginning of S2, around the time Kevin Spacey pushes that journalist in front of a train and somehow nobody notices. we were just like come on this is absolute bollocks.

House of Cards (US) was ok, some parts were excellent, some were embarrassing (the train-pushing, agreed), the music was maybe the best part.House of Cards Trilogy (UK) on last rewatch piled it on a bit thick TBH, still very much better than the US remake IMO though.

Tru Blood’s “I’m a fairy?” moment, House Of Cards pushing Kate Mara in front of a subway, Homeland’s second season, the early 2010s were the heyday of trashTV not knowing the difference between “this is fun” and “this is stupid”

I remember enjoying House of Cards (US) for a while, it was trashy in a good way. Kind of seemed like a fun caricature of US politics a bit like Veep was. But by the time he became president there didn't seem to be much of a point to this show anymore so I think I quit sometime in the 3rd season.
― silverfish, Tuesday, 12 December 2023 14:54 (four months ago) link
I think the main reason I like it so much is all the memorable peripheral characters, beyond the Underwoods. I could name at least a dozen, some of whom are only there for a short time.
