Oh wow. I just realized that it could be the "ride or die protocol" Janet "engaged" in season 1 episode 12, Mindy St. Claire, that's probably responsible for a lot of shenanigans. Janet says it will make her "loyal to Jason forever." What if that persisted through all of the reboots and memory wipes? That's the "mutation" Michael talks about in season 2 episode 6, Michael and Janet, that "somehow got amplified with each reboot."

If it's Janet's protocol that causes her love for Jason to persist and grow, that means she loved him enough to choose to love him again and again. Beautiful.

Tahani: Can I get you some wine, darling?

Eleanor: No thanks babe, Michael's fixing me a margarita.

Michael: Here you go, I made it just how you like it.

Michael: A Lot. In A Jug.

The founder of the conspiracy theory website Gateway Pundit said Wednesday that the company was declaring bankruptcy while it fights ongoing defamation lawsuits.

Jim Hoft, the site’s founder, said in a post that Gateway Pundit’s parent company, TGP Communications, had decided to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections in the Southern District of Florida “as a result of the progressive liberal lawfare attacks against our media outlet.” Hoft stressed the move was “not an admission of fault or culpability” and said the site would continue publishing. Gateway Pundit did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment. For two decades, the site has published falsehoods and conspiracy theories on everything from vaccines to election fraud. Donald Trump frequently shares its material. The most notable lawsuit against the website is from Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. In 2021, they sued the Gateway Pundit, Hoft and his twin brother, and website contributor Joe Hoft in St. Louis Circuit Court for defamation and emotional distress. The website had falsely alleged that the mother-daughter pair had purposefully manipulated the vote count in Joe Biden’s favor.

[...] Gateway Pundit, despite its often-untethered coverage, has played an outsize role in the conservative mediasphere ― though its traffic peaked in 2020. Multiple Republican-led states pulled out of a popular anti-voter-fraud organization after the site falsely reported that it was “founded” by George Soros and was a “essentially a left wing voter registration drive disguised as voter roll clean up.”

Far-right pro-Trump conspiracist disinformation website The Gateway Pundit declares bankruptcy. The Gateway Pundit is founded by right-wing propagandist Jim Hoft.

In TGP, Michael’s theory on soulmates being “made and not found” is exactly the way Destiny is described in the Witcher saga, about how “Destiny alone is insufficient. Something more is necessary.”

Essentially a real bond between two souls. Not just the universe throwing two people together cuz “Destiny wills it so”. That would completely negate the entire notion of free will.

Netflix’s Witcher doesn’t understand this.

Ciri only looked for Geralt cuz her dead grandma said so. She felt obligated to find him and Geralt felt obligated to take in Ciri cuz some dead princess he killed in Blaviken prophesied right before death.

I.e. there is not a single writer in Lauren’s team that took a philosophy class or even Googled the topic. They write like mediocre fanfic idiots on FF.net.

YAY AN UPDATE! :D Leo is really not having a good time at the moment poor kid and I love it!

"What do y'all think happened to Leo? 0.0"

Aside from being tortured and further traumatised and then drugged by the EPF? My two theories 1. He heard Donnie say Leo's being tracked and panicked further unable to comprehend that his brothers can help with that and has run away so they don't get caught.

2. Sister Krang is exerting her influence on him and Leo is heading back to free her.

Took me long enough lol XD

Lmao, yup. We’re nearing the end, tho, so it has to start getting better eventually. (But then we’ve got the sequel… ;} )

Both really good guesses! Although, (and I’m not exactly sure what canon is for this) in TGP, only the Krang Brother was capable of controlling people (he’s gotta be useful somehow, right? I mean the Krang Sister was the warmongering maniac, and Krang Prime was the leader, so the Krang Brother has to have some sort of job). (:

Thanks for the comments!! :D

in the tgp universe, every human is born with magic. some are born with more of it than others, but actually using it is a skill you have to actively train in order to get anywhere with it, and even if you do train, its uses are limited. it's not really a big part of everyday life and most average people can only perform a handful of super basic spells.

some decide to pursue honing their magic, and those who do often become fairly famous for it, but it's not very common—especially because the element you're stuck with for the rest of your life is complete luck of the draw. you're just born with one.

there are many theories as to how elements are "chosen" or how they correspond with their users, but these theories are often waved off as conjecture by the public.

where does magic come from? how is it possible that everyone gets some random element that has nothing to do with their genetics or environment? is it the gods' doing? do they just throw a dart at the wall every time someone's born and choose whatever element it lands on?

can you take magic away from someone? will it kill them? man, who knows!

my human portal au is so funny bc everyone is Just Some Guy and 3 of them are basically ocs at this point and I love them all very much!!!!!! i love them all just being adults with varying levels of life direction. Harriet (fact) is probably my favorite just bc she's so. she's so. she's basically a mix of tahani from tgp and rachel from cxg with some fucking sheldon from big bang theory thrown in and I LOVE HER she's such a mess emotionally but she went to Harvard at 14 and had her first papers published by 18 and is internationally known for her work in physics by 22 and now she's like unable to conceptualize the idea of life outside of work so her brother (space) is like Harriet let's go to a party! and she's like What Is That. I love her so much she is a bundle of neuroses but thinks she's too smart for therapy. like that somehow matters. she finally let herself have a life and immediately got body image issues so she's super picky about eating and is furious that she now cares about her appearance. she starts drinking and has a really hard time stopping because she thinks she is somehow immune to addiction. growing up with an inflated sense of self and a superiority complex has made her so out of touch and she has such a hard time connecting with people. she's impatient beyond all belief. she loves her little brother so much and she resents her parents for what they did to them but she still desperately craves their approval. she's everything to me

Black Hole Information Paradox: An Introduction. Spooky Physics Phenomenon May Link Universe’s Wormholes. There is so much interesting physics surrounding wormholes and black holes, and it is no wonder that they remain big topics of research and academic debate to this day.ġ. There is no paradox in this explanation as the two observers are unable to communicate to each other. The theory proposed by some physicists to resolve this paradox, “complementarity”, states that observers viewing the black hole from outside will see the information at the event horizon then return back through the Hawking radiation, while observers inside the black hole will see the information inside the black hole itself. This is called the black hole Information Paradox. A black hole radiates Hawking Radiation, causing it to decrease in size and eventually disappear. However, in the description of black holes predicted by relativity, once information passes the event horizon, it is unable to exit the black hole due to the warping of space-time by gravity. Hence, information cannot be lost or copied, and one can find out a system’s initial state from information about its final state. In quantum mechanics, events are considered in terms of probabilities, and the probability of an event must add up to 1. When two particles (photons, electrons, etc.) are entangled, what these physicists believe is actually happening is that they are linked by microscopic wormholes.Īlthough black holes are widely studied by physicists, there remains an interesting paradox. Secondly, a black hole formed from radiation emitted by another black hole, making the new black hole entangled with its “supplier”. Firstly, a pair of black holes created at the same time, making them entangled by default. The theory is that a wormhole is actually two black holes linked by quantum entanglement, which can arise in two different ways. Some have theorised that wormholes are linked by a concept known as quantum entanglement, where particles have linked behaviour even at great distances. Wormholes connect distant regions in a region in space-time which has a negative curvature, which can be kept open using matter with negative energy density. According to Professor Hawking, observations of the Universe have shown that it is not sufficiently warped, leaving only the third possibility valid - wormholes. In the bestselling book “A Brief History of Time” by the late Stephen Hawking, three means of time travel were proposed, firstly in a universe where space-time is sufficiently warped, secondly if one travels faster than light and lastly if one is able to travel through a moving wormhole. Time travel has always captured the popular imagination.

When Shawn says TBP tried getting humans to physically torture each other and they couldn't do it, I gotta side-eye that a little. There have been a lot of sadistic forkers in human history who did worse than teeth pulling, surely you'd find some willing volunteers...

But then I guess if they enjoyed it then it would stop being Hell for them? I retract my rant.

So with that huge cliffhanger from TGP, I wanted to pool my thoughts under this Read More. The ‘Test Subjects’, so to speak, have all improved in their own ways... except for Simone, I think. Which I know, controversial opinion. But I’m stuffing my thoughts under this read more.

So, every human has... well, I think of them as their own personal cardinal sins that led to them being sentenced to the Bad Place (well, that and the whole broken system they’re operating in).

Team Cockroach’s were all fairly obvious and embodied by the Judge’s tests for them. Jason was impulsive and never thought about any of his actions. Tahani cared far too much about her image and people’s perceptions of her. Eleanor just... didn’t care about other people. Chidi was so indecisive his test was just about making a choice at all.

Mind-wiped!Chidi is back to his pre-growth state of being incredibly indecisive. John is an incorrigible gossip hound who constantly makes fun of other people. Brent is... well, he’s basically the posterboy for the Patriarchy and all the awfulness that entails.

Simone is the hardest for me to pin down a particular failing, and part of me wonders if that’s deliberate. What if Simone’s ‘major failing’ was just... living in the interconnected modern world where being Good Enough for the Good Place was basically impossible? But it’s not possible. She’d have to have a similar points total to Team Cockroach to be admissible, so I think it might be judgementality? She’s quick to assess someone and once she’s made a decision, it can be hard to change her mind about the result.

I don’t know. But I’ll go into that later, after I talk about how everyone else has improved.

Chidi has the most impressive improvement - Brent’s in trouble? He made a decision, and he carried it through even when nobody was there to help him, risking himself (and getting himself caught in the hole as well). He was decisive. He didn’t faff about pondering whether it would be better to find someone else or get a better rope, or whatever, he made a decision and he risked his life on it.

John kept a secret for six months. A juicy, drama bomb of a secret and sure, he broke his promise about keeping it at the end but! He did it because it was relevant. Simone’s telling them all this stuff about how Things Are Not What They Seem, and Jianyu is literally not who he seems and he knew that! He didn’t share the secret because it would make for juicy gossip! He did it because it might help!

Brent... Brent apologised. He had nothing to gain by doing it, and he did it. It took being told he was in Literal Hell for him and then Chidi driving it home, to do some actual fucking self reflection, but he did it and he took a single step towards improving. It’s nowhere fucking near enough, but that he took a step might be enough.

Because the point of the experiment isn’t ‘Can we take four trashbags and make them into Good People’, it’s that ‘Can people improve’. Every day. That’s the whole series entire message, it’s that people can improve little by little. Give him enough time, and Brent can become an actually decent human being. It’s going to take... a very, very long time, but he can. The others have all proved that humans can grow, given the chance, given the right impetus, that nobody is beyond redemption.

And if, given enough time, people can change for the better, then it means the system should reflect that - it means people shouldn’t be damned to Hell and never allowed to grow because of it. 

And here’s where I go more into Simone.

It means everyone should be given that same chance. Simone’s belief that they needed to give up on Brent is understandable but it’s still not right. Chidi is right, Brent is still a human being, and they should save him.

Given what she knows and believes is going on, giving up on trying to help him become less of a human trashfire is... well, it’s not ‘Good’ but it’s not ‘Bad’ either, because frankly she’s right. But she’s also making that decision based off a mortal perception of time and existence.

In the grand scale of the Afterlife, spending a year or two (or three, four, five, ten, a hundred...) to make Brent less of a shitty person is... nothing. It’s literally nothing. It sucks, and it’s awful, but what are you really risking? If you have to spend eternity with him, then an investment of a thousand years into making him actually likable will have infinite returns (literally infinite!). If I thought we were in Heaven, I’d start doing it just so I wouldn’t have to deal with his shit - that’s not even a Good decision by the TGP’s Point System, because I’m doing it out of self interest.

But at the same time, she suspects (correctly) they’re in some sort of experiment. She doesn’t think she has the time to do that, so refusing to help does make sense. But still, leaving him in the hole? That wasn’t right.

A large part of me still thinks it was Team Cockroach who was being tested (they were constantly trying to get everyone to improve and they, themselves, improved along the way - just look at Jason!), but the rest of me can’t figure out Simone’s deal. Was it just... her snap judgements? Did she not concern herself with ethics and being a better person during life because she did a risk-benefit analysis and decided it wasn’t worth the effort given she probably didn’t believe in an afterlife?

Every other Human had obvious flaws (and in Brent’s case, it was his entire fucking everything) they could work on improving and they did (even if it was at the last fucking minute Brent), but what was Simone’s?

I guess what I’m asking is... if those four were the OG Team Cockroach and rocked up in front of the Judge, what tests would she give them? She’d give Chidi the Hats again, she’d give John a secret to keep (or just have him go into a fancy party and NOT gossip about what anything anyone was wearing and just slowly amp up the Fashion Disasters), Brent... I feel like a litmus test for ‘Has Brent Norwalk become even the tiniest bit of a better person’ would literally be making him acknowledge he did something wrong and apologise properly. But I still (STILL) can’t even guess what Simone’s would be.

Gen and Shawn are that Good Place/Bad Place Architect duo designing tests to improve people.

And "people" includes demons who have already taken that first step towards betterment by starting to question the system and the place of disproportionate punishment within it.

Gen and Shawn are tarantula squids.

OK BUT LISTEN

I have a theory - SPOILERS OBV

This last episode made me feel like the experiment is NOT trying to get four (three) new humans to get better - I think our OG four are STILL THE TEST SUBJECTS!

Think about it:

1. The conditions under which the experiment is being condicted has been tampered with way too many times, between demon infiltrations and Janet kidnapings and Chidi becoming the fourth subject - and the judge must know this. I don’t think they would let it go on - UNLESS that was never the test!!

2. With the judge they concluded that what keeps humans form being better is all the complications and stresses of modern life. With what Michael said last ep («it doesn’t matter if they are good or bad, just if they try to be better than yesterday») I THINK HE GAVE AWAY THE PREMISE OF THE ACTUAL EXPERIMENT! The judge is testing to see if our four humans will continue to improve when faced with hardship. Tested again and again, in seemingly increasingly hopeless tasks, they continue to improve.

Chidi is getting spontaneous (hitting Brent)

Eleanor is stepping up and leading, and CARING

Tahani wants to grow beyond throwing parties

And Jason is… helpful?????

They are not trying to get the three (four) new humans to improve - they are still seeing if the OG four will improve. Remember this post, istg

I’m gonna double down on my theory from last week, that this is the story of Micheal being tortured ok my new add on theory is now that Sean just showed Micheal that he can create replicas of people AND erase thier memory right ? So they’re tortured by thier friends and never know why . Maybe this is happening to Micheal !!! Maybe the five - Chidi- Eleanor - Janet - Tahani- Jason - are just duplicates , and he’s being tortured right ??!!? Like Micheal had a break down at the end of the ep , he’s defo miserable right ? It kinda works

Good Place Theory

The Good Place is just Michael playing Sims. The main humans are ones he made after his friends. He tries adding mods but he's terrible. The monsters in the bad place and all the fuckery caused by Eleanor are from him fucking about. Janet is his friend who actually knows how Sims works and knows cheatcodes and shit. Trevor is his shitty little brother and the Judge is his big sister who just shouts bad ideas from the other room.

Evidence

-The intro music sounds like the Sims.

-Idk man you want extensive theories just fucking watch MatPat like everyone else.
