It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.

  • Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real
  • There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations
  • Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
  • The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
  • There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
  • The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
  • Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
  • Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.

I swear my brain is trying to tell me Something about the motifs of food and drink, but I've only got a few sides of it, not the whole yet. some of sides I do have:

lena made sure than both sam and celia ate something in the office immediately after showing up for their first days, and that jives in a certain way with two case subjects having encounters with creepy strangers who made sure to give them food first thing.

I feel like caffeine and alcohol are serving as contrasting symbols. you drink caffeine in the workplace to keep going and stay productive, and you drink alcohol when you clock out to relax and socialize. an upper vs a downer.

colin is the character we've seen be most selective about his diet so far. he doesn't eat meat, he prefers a pub party to an office party, he prefers scotch to coffee, and he's cutting caffeine just as he gears up to do something suspicious to the office computers.

alice cautions sam against coffee and beer while she drinks both herself. she also tries to secretly hide her own snack foods at the office, but sam knows where they are and sneaks them sometimes.

and--this one isn't a positive observation, it's a negative, something about what isn't there rather than what is: I don't think we've had any references to cigarettes or smoking so far. it was a massive motif in archives right from the off, and statement givers were smokers fairly often, and it's just not been a thing in these first ten episodes of protocol. archives started us off with a statement about being lured in with cigarettes, and protocol started with an office party and a conversation about unsatisfying refreshment options.

i love passionfruit because it's very easy to pretend you're eating the egg of some kind of weird insectoid dragon :)

an offputting beast laid this

did you know: a single passion fruit contains between 50-100 dragon fetuses.

the rare and gentle passionfruit dragon

authentic and real.

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

fabulous 

i mean they did also kill jesus. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where you’re coming from here but they very much did kill jesus.

I know this is suppose to be cringe but I love the absolute friendship in this picture and it cheers me up thinking about what a great time they all have piling into a 1990 VW to go to Taco Bell.
