    - This is why I'm not hopeful. Baltimore had a Dem mayor when Freddie Gray was killed. A black man was president when Trayvon et al were killed. - Max Jun 1, 18:03

      - We all should be, my friend. But I'm proud of you for going to an event. -- nm - David Jun 1, 17:58 11
        
        I've been torn. I'd like to go to one of the daytime peaceful events, but COVID. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 18:00 10
        
        I hear you. If Kim or I got COVID, it would be alarming given our asthma and medical histories. -- nm - David Jun 1, 18:04 4

        I believe the point is that there kind of aren’t any daytime peaceful events because the police are making them non-peaceful even during the day. -- nm - Qale Jun 1, 18:01 1
        
        Perhaps it's getting to that point, but the daytime stuff here has previously been peaceful from what I've seen (not sure about today) -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 18:02

  - It's a shot from the teaser that aired during - I believe - the Super Bowl. -- nm - Mop Jun 1, 17:51
  - What we know of the show is very limited. It could be a series of vignettes, hallucinations, spoofs ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 17:37 4
    - a recreation of what my holodeck playdate would look like? -- nm* - Jovian Jun 1, 17:41 3
      - I don't think even The Boys or GLOW would approve that, it looks terrible. -- nm - Max Jun 1, 17:42 2
        
        Which is why I think it's played for laughs within the show. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 17:46 1
        
        Thou shall not make a mockery of Elizabeth Olsen. -- nm - Max Jun 1, 17:59
