Despite their name, the medical malpractice gang sure seem like nice, interesting people~
Would they ever have movie nights or game nights together? I would love to see these guys play Monopoly or smth like that lol
Tumblr media
Game night! I think monopoly would be banned because Arthur would keep hogging the bank and getting the others to pay way too high mortgages, but considering there’s four of them, Bridge might be a gang favourite. They can play together and talk shop (horrifying medical practices). Poker seems like something Fenninger would be too good at, and Lorentz would be losing way too many bets.

Here’s my (very dumb) pitch for Mamma Mia 3, it's Harry's wedding there is just one small very very tiny issue no one can work out who Harry’s marrying and at this point, they just feel weird asking. So much like the first film, three men are running around a greek island while Sophie, Sky, Cher, Tanya, Rosie, Bill, and Sam try to work out their connection to the plot, I mean their relationship with Harry. So let us meet the potential Grooms: 
First up we have Elijah Thatcher played by Taron Egerton, at first, he seems the most likely to be the groom despite the age gap since he seems very close and connected to the wedding and is really stressed out about the wedding. However, we later find out the reason he is so stressed about this wedding is that he is the stressed-out wedding planner, and let's just say Harry’s Groom is a bit of a bridezilla
Then we have Peter Beckett played by Hugh Laurie an American lawyer who is very close to Harry, he also knows a lot about the other dads and Sophie, and he also has the habit of flirting with Harry, in truth while he and Harry did have a fling back in the day, they are now simply best friends and he’s the best man. The reason he flirts with Harry is that he enjoys getting a reaction out of Harry's actual partner. 
This actual partner is Nathaniel Hawthorn played by Hugh Grant a music professor at Cornell, they push each other buttons but at the end of the day, they still love each other. At the start of the film, they think he is the wedding planner since he seemed a bit too into the table setting. But he actually just enjoys getting a rise out of Elijah, who at this point is considering a career change.  Hijinks, misunderstandings, and ABBA take place before the reveal but in the end, the reveal is simple with Nathanial asking if Sophie would walk down the aisle with him, since he's kinda either step-dad 1 or dad 4 plus he knows it will mean the world to Harry, she agrees they hug and she welcomes her new dad to the family.
We end the film with their wedding it's big, it’s fun, and it goes perfectly much to the joy of Elijah's mental health, Peter gets a killer best man speech that ends in him and Nathaniel hugging it out. Just as the night is coming to an end, all seems to be going well Bill finds his boat has been stolen by none other than newlyweds. Harry yells something about being spontaneous, while Nathaniel yells about going on the honeymoon of their dreams. As they sail off into the sunset.
We close with Elijah and Bill sharing a drink and rethinking the life choices that got them here. We then find out Cher knew who the groom was the whole time and just found the whole thing very funny hence why she told no one.

Anyways, I’m done yapping. Just a disclaimer so that people don’t get mad or anything, I’m not sexualizing any of these characters. Also for people wondering about the characters that are minors, I am also a minor.
I have a big obsession with fictional characters 😁
I love how most of these were scrunkly middle aged men and then there’s just two girls (Carmen Sandiego and Eska turned me gay for a minute)

wtf is productivity anymore? is it slaving yourself away for a government that likes to milk you of your money and bread crumb you when you asking for basic needs?
I have to write a damn essay today that is due tonight and I am stuck. im stuck going on my phone hoping from three main apps. what truly is the point of doing all this shit, to get that degree, and then what... continue to work a long side all these other people who I know are just as burnout?
yeah life is good for split second and then we have to go back to being apart of a society that drains us of our energy.
is this me being lazy? not wanting to participate in a world where everything is transactional and your worth is seen through how much you make and if you can pay bills pay, taxes, keep up with friends but also stay in school, care about people but don't be too loud about it because the person next to you is trying to focus on their work.
work work work
work isn't even that worth it at this point. you expect me to want to survive in these conditions, id have a better chance in the forest... give me a survival book that humans have imposed onto the earth maybe then ill "work" the rich don't seem to be doing much but sitting back in their 4 billion dollar home watching the world burn.
the paychecks are barely suitable for some families, even a married couple with well paying jobs could barely even buy a home, it keeps us all in the same loop that is hard to get out of.
idk how people like me even survive this world, maybe my mindset is negative and I should join the flow. work til my bones ache, til my joints develop arthritis, til im so used to being hunched over that when I straighten my back it's painful, til my eyebrows have a permanent line in the middle, til my ears are ringing from the typing of the keyboards,
I wish we could live in better systems that don't keep us trapped under the rich, I wish people in Palestine and Congo weren't victims of this greed, I wish our government gave a fuck, I wish people weren't so hateful to difference, I wish mental health would be considered a genuine illness that some of us face that we didn't have to push down to keep our productivity up.
im just a person complaining behind a screen, no I did not directly go through all these things but I was adjacent, I am an audience member, I've see and hear my family, friends, professors, strangers experiences. I see the strain this life has taken on us and it's devastating because we're so used to living in it we don't have time or money to fight for anything better.
in the fictional story "the artist of the beautiful" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the character, in the title, is opposite of what his society expects as an ideal worker. he doesn't work for the money or the revenue or to mass produce. those around him tell him, he needs to improve his skill in order to be productive and be valued as a person. he was strong willed and kept strong by his he goes through a journey of self rediscovery after giving in to the social worlds pressure. he essentially transcends and is happy in his
may or may not add to this later.....

What to make of the 2022 midterm results and what it might mean for 2024
(Originally published by Stanford News on November 10, 2002)
SLS Professor Nathaniel Persily and other Stanford scholars weigh in on the 2022 midterm election results. 
While votes from the U.S. midterm elections are still being counted and the full results of various state races are not entirely certain, what is clear is Americans did not succumb to paranoia or violence as feared, say Stanford researchers.
According to some scholars, the election felt almost like a return to normalcy: The most vocal election deniers lost, candidates running on extreme platforms failed to resonate with voters, and even polling – which has been off in previous years – fell reasonably within the margins of error. In an election where democracy was on the ballot, it proved to be one that was largely free, fair, and trustworthy.
Here, Stanford scholars – with expertise in democracy, politics, election administration, voting, polling, and surveying American attitudes – reflect on how the 2022 election has unfolded thus far, offering their explanations on outcomes ranging from the anticipated red wave that was more of a trickle, Democrats faring better than expected, and the limited role that disinformation appeared to play in this election compared to 2020. They also share what initial results might signal about 2024, when the next general election will take place. Scholars include:
Bruce Cain, professor of political science in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences (H&S), and director of the Bill Lane Center for the American West
Emilee Chapman, assistant professor of political science in H&S
Didi Kuo, associate director for research and senior research scholar at the Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law in the Freeman Spogli School of International Studies
Nate Persily, the James B. McClatchy Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and co-director of the Cyber Policy Center
Robb Willer, professor of sociology in H&S
Some answers have been edited for length and clarity.
What one word would you use to describe the midterm elections so far, and why?
Bruce Cain (Image credit: Courtesy Bruce Cain)
Cain: Relief … This was a gut check on American sanity, and fortunately, we passed (although not with honors). There was just enough recognition that the country cannot surrender to paranoia and violence.
Chapman: Complicated. Maybe the only clear narrative about the midterms is that there is no clear narrative. So far, a lot of the analysis has focused on what didn’t happen: the Republican wave that didn’t materialize. But there is no clear story about what did happen.
Persily: Surprising. I don’t think anyone predicted the particular mix of races that were won and lost. It’s quite rare that you would see such idiosyncratic results throughout the country, especially at a time when the president is so unpopular and the economy is in such a fragile state. One would have thought that there either would have been a wave election, but that would be a consistent story around the country. But instead what we see are pockets of Republican dominance and pockets of Democratic victories. Republicans have done really well in Florida and New York. Democrats have done really well in the Midwest and rust belt, except for Ohio, and then the Southwest is extremely competitive.
Is there anything you have been surprised by? 
Cain: The outcome in California’s Congressional District 22 was heartening in that David Valadao, who had the courage to defy Trump and vote for his impeachment, was able to get reelected in a Republican seat. We need to have a responsible two-party system with a conservative party we can trust to uphold the values of democracy. I was also surprised at the margin of the no vote on Prop 30 [a ballot measure that proposed a tax to support the purchase of electric vehicles], but people seemed to appreciate that it may not be a good thing to let Uber and Lyft executives determine the state’s budget appropriations.
Emilee Chapman (Image credit: Courtesy Emilee Chapman)
Chapman: I wouldn’t say I’m surprised (there was a lot of uncertainty around this election), but many of the most serious worries about what this election might mean for American democracy have not come to pass. Because of recent threats against election workers and election denialism, there had been concerns about the possibility of widespread violence and disruption on Election Day, but that didn’t happen. The localized issues that arose on the day seem pretty consistent with a typical election.
Another concern going into this election was the possibility that a Republican wave would place a number of election deniers in a position to oversee elections or overturn results in key swing states. The worst-case scenario also failed to materialize here, though I am watching a few close and important races in Nevada and Arizona.
Persily: I don’t think anyone predicted the particular mix of races that were won and lost. It’s quite rare that you would see such idiosyncratic results throughout the country, especially at a time when the president is so unpopular and the economy is in such a fragile state. One would have thought that there either would have been a wave election, but that would be a consistent story around the country. But instead what we see are pockets of Republican dominance and pockets of Democratic victories. Republicans have done really well in Florida and New York. Democrats have done really well in the Midwest and the rust belt, – except for Ohio, and then the Southwest is extremely competitive.
Willer: The midterm results are surprising from a fundamentals perspective. There is a tendency for the party that holds the presidency to lose Congressional seats in the midterms. Further, widespread concerns about inflation also would be expected to hurt the party that controls the presidency and Congress. Finally, Biden is relatively unpopular right now, at a level that historically would foreshadow major midterm losses. And while Dems likely will lose ground in the House, and could still lose control of the Senate as well, it was a much smaller outcome than I expected.
What explains the anticipated Republican red wave being more of a “trickle”?
Robb Willer (Image credit: L.A. Cicero)
Willer: Well, one possibility is that Trump’s unpopularity and ongoing efforts to subvert democracy are hurting Republicans. You can see evidence for this in the poor performance of several Trump-backed candidates.
Another possibility is that Republicans ran many very low-quality candidates with little political experience, like Mehmet Oz, Herschel Walker, and others. This is also related to Trump’s ongoing influence over the party, as many of these low-quality candidates gained nominations in part through Trump endorsements. Additionally, Republican voters’ willingness to vote in primaries for candidates with little or no political experience is likely related to the legacy of Trump’s presidency.
But it’s very hard to disentangle the possible negative effect of being associated with Trump from the possible negative effect associated with low candidate quality. An example would be Republican Senate candidate Hershel Walker performing worse than Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp in Georgia. Is that difference because Walker is more aligned with Trump than Kemp, and some people were turned off by that? Or is it because of the many ways in which Walker is a historically bad candidate? Or is it something else entirely, like Kemp being an incumbent? It’s very difficult to disentangle these things, especially because Trump tended to endorse lower-quality candidates.
And, importantly, we also see examples of Trump-backed candidates – like JD Vance in Ohio – performing well – so I don’t think there’s a clear, nationwide repudiation of Trump and Trumpism here.
Are there any issues you are closely following?
Cain: The fact that the surveys got this right for the most part given that so many of the races were within the margin of polling error. But more importantly, we will see whether the attacks on the legitimacy of American elections abate or simply careen further into endless litigation and factual fantasies.
Chapman: I am, of course, most closely following the state-level races that will shape the impact of election deniers in 2024.
I am also following two other things with curiosity: One is ranked choice voting. Alaska recently adopted instant runoff (a form of ranked choice voting) for statewide elections, and its significance will probably be felt in this election. Ranked choice voting was also on the ballot in Nevada, and the “yes” vote appears to be leading.
The other thing I am watching is how people used early and mail-in voting. 2020 marked a substantial shift from previous elections, both because these forms of convenience voting were much more widely used, and because there was a strong partisan divergence. Democrats in 2020 were far more likely to vote early and/or by mail than Republicans. I am watching to see whether and to what extent these two patterns remain. It seems likely that the widespread use of convenience voting is the new normal, but I am worried about the polarization of the voting method. If Democrats and Republicans predictably vote using a different method, this might make people more receptive to attempts to delegitimize the method of voting predominantly used by the other side. Polarization of voting methods may also make partisan-motivated manipulation of election administration even more attractive if it is easier to identify methods on which opponents disproportionately rely.
Persily: I was mostly concerned about the administration of the election given that there are such heightened concerns about fraud and integrity, as well as voter suppression. I wanted to see whether any of those fears would be realized and thus far they have not been, but it’s still early. I think it does depend on what happens in Arizona and in the Georgia runoff to see whether we have some of the disorder that a lot of people were worried about. To be sure, there were some malfunctions in Arizona’s Maricopa County that then led to conspiracy theories being propagated both by one of the candidates and the former president. But as a general rule, this was a very smoothly run election. And election officials deserve to be congratulated for it.
What role has disinformation played in this election?
Nathaniel Persily (Image credit: Courtesy Nathaniel Persily)
Persily: We continue to be concerned about our monitoring of false narratives that are spreading online as well as potential threats to violence and other illegal behavior. The Stanford Internet Observatory has led the Election Integrity Partnership and has been investigating false claims about the election process and so they had a very busy day [on election day, Nov. 8]. It should be no surprise that Arizona, given the concerns about the machines in Maricopa County, was seen as quite an important producer of disinformation and conspiracy theories. When/if the Senate comes down to Georgia, we should expect a lot of these conspiracy theories to be revived. That’s especially true if Kari Lake wins Arizona but right now, it doesn’t seem like we have massive conspiracy theories akin to what we saw in the 2020 election.
Why do you think that is?
Persily: In part because it’s not a presidential election, which means that Donald Trump doesn’t have exactly the same megaphone that he had back then and he can’t be as formidable a player. Also, I think because there’s no systematic story you can tell around the country. There’s no man behind the curtain who is pulling all the levers that, on the one hand, would lead to Republican dominance in Florida and in most of New York, and on the other hand, Democrats being successful in the Midwest. We’ll see in individual races like in the Georgia runoff and in Arizona and maybe Nevada but there’s no theme of election rigging that could stick to the facts on the ground they developed on Nov. 8.
Is there anything about the 2022 election that makes it unique from other elections, midterms, or otherwise?
Cain: Normally, the first midterm of a presidency is all about the incumbent president. It was indeed about Biden, but it was also about Trump. The DeSantis victory and Trump’s, at best, mixed record of candidate endorsements raise the odds that Trump will have a serious challenge to getting the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination.
Didi Kuo (Image credit: Courtesy Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law)
Kuo: President Trump loomed large over these midterm elections, and in some ways, the midterms were as much about the former president’s influence on Republican candidates as they were about Joe Biden’s first two years in office. The Big Lie, Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was stolen, became an election issue, particularly in state elections. Some Republican candidates, particularly those endorsed by Trump, either denied the 2020 election results or refused to acknowledge whether or not the election was fair. President Trump is considering running for reelection in 2024, so it’s not surprising that a lot of attention was devoted to MAGA candidates in these elections. 
Persily: This is the first election in the post-insurrection environment. And at a time when you had a collapse of confidence on the Republican side, with respect to the election infrastructure, there was a lot of anxiety coming into the administration of this election. Elected officials were facing unprecedented challenges, including threats to their safety and the safety of their families. I think there was justifiable concern about potential violence in the polls, but that did not materialize.
What lessons are we learning from the 2022 election that could potentially impact 2024?
Cain: We have learned once again that the country is divided into three camps – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. The Democrats achieved quite a bit in the first two years just as Obama did with the Affordable Care Act. We are likely headed back to a divided government and a fight over the debt limit. Obama was able to navigate the 2011-2012 period well enough to get reelected. Can Biden do the same? If Trump is the nominee, the election comes down to the Electoral College, not the popular vote. If DeSantis is the likely nominee, will Biden be the best person for that contest? TBD, I think.
Kuo: I think there are promising signs of politics as usual. Joe Biden has been able to pass COVID stimulus bills, the Inflation Reduction Act, and industrial policy. Despite bad economic conditions, his party did well considering that presidents typically lose seats in the first midterms after they take office; the Biden agenda seems to be resonating with voters. As of this writing, we don’t know which party will control either chamber: if Republicans have a slim majority, they will likely block Biden’s remaining agenda. However, the Republican party continues to be divided between its establishment wing and its MAGA faction, and that division will likely play out in the Republican presidential race. The midterms seem to be showing that the Republican party needs to work harder to persuade voters, and that the MAGA message may not resonate.
Persily: The fact that many of the most vocal election deniers lost was a significant development in this election. It possibly signals a retreat to normalcy in part since the 2020 election. I think that the more false claims of vote rigging are defeated, the better it is for American democracy. I think those concerns still resonate with tens of millions of Americans, and many of them are going to hold elected office, so they’re not going away anytime soon. But I think that it’s quite an important signal from this election. Many people said that democracy was on the ballot in this election. And they were right because the very basic question as to whether we could continue to run elections that were free, fair, and trustworthy was an open question coming into this election, and I think that the professional running of this election suggested that we could.

Peter Lorre characters/parodies cutting hair. There has to be at least 1 who'd shave a bald spot in the center of their head by accident.
Hmm good question. Starting with characters:
-I think Dr's Lorentz and Einstein are (self)trained barbers who cut both their own and their partners hair. Arthur because...duh and Herman because he was mostly self taught, using some outdated literature from times when surgeans were also barbers. I can see Herman giving Jonathan an accidental bald spot or trepanation while drunk, but if Arthur did that to Nathaniel, it'd probably be on purpose as payback for something or just cause he thought it'd be funny
-As for characters likely to give themselves an accidental bald spot. It's an obvious answer ik, but that might be an explanation as to why Gogols rocking the egghead
Now for the parodies:
-It's hard to say cause a lot of Peter parodies are either already bald or wouldn't seem to mind having a bald spot or giving one to someone else. I can see slippy and slappy shaving off eachother hair for fun, for example(and he at least may be bald anyway)
-This probably frequently happens to Yetch. It's hard to keep a steady hand with his rigor mortis acting up. It's the reason his duties no longer include cutting his masters hair
-Booberry is bald ofc, but I can see him good naturedly offering to give Chocula a hair cut before he goes out on a hot date, only to immediately rip a big chunk out of the very top of his skull

Maybe a silly question, but do you have any specific headcanons for how the medical malpractice gang are related or came to know eachother?
Not a silly question at all! And sorry I only just now got to answering you!
I've toyed with different headcanons with these four idiots. One of my favourites is that they're related but they have no idea that they are. To me that's the funniest one! As to how they met...
Gogol and Fenninger definitely met in Paris. Fenninger trying to run whatever criminal enterprise he has on his mind together with his accomplices/cronies/friends/lovers and Gogol, because, well, he lives there. I imagine they came across each other in a café and first pointedly ignored each other until doctor Wong or Prince Saliano loudly started commenting on their appearances and how they look like each other.
Arthur and Herman definitely met each other in the good ol' US of A, with Herman and Jonathan on the run and ending up in that podunk village run by Arthur. Hell, they might even be staying over at Nathaniel's old inn with Nathaniel trying to recruit the two for one of his experiments, Jonathan plotting to kill the old professor, Herman trying to stop Jonathan, and Arthur barging in with a 'what's all this, then?' Also I imagine Jonathan trying many attempts on Arthur's life simply because he's a sheriff. Also Arthur is completely clueless to Jonathan's criminal status.
Fenninger met Herman in Heisenberg, Germany because they went to the same medical school and Fenninger dropped out to live a life of crime, and because I think that would be funny. I just like the idea of Fenninger being sent there as a young lad by his rich parents to make something of himself (and because he refused to join the military like any good Viennese of higher standing should) and meeting Herman as a nervous student doing his goddamn best to make it through.
As to how they all met the others? Fenninger and his gang are on the run after the whole Kay Kyser incident and decide to lay low in the countryside, coincidentally where Arthur and Nathaniel live. There they come across Jonathan and Herman who recognises Fenninger as that cool rich kid who was always copying his answers in class. And Gogol...? He was at a conference in New York when his taxi got hijacked by this gang of idiots (Herman, Jonathan, Fenninger, Saliano, Mainwaring) on the run and gets recognised by Fenninger!
By that point I simply imagine them just constantly bumping into each other in the most unlikely places and in the end just resigning themselves that they are somehow cursed by fate to constantly see each other and making the best of it.

The Boogie Man Will Get You (1942)
Faced with mortgage debts, Professor Nathaniel Billings (Boris Karloff) sells his 18th-century tavern to Winnie Layden (Jeff Donnell), who plans to turn it into a hotel. Billings stipulates as a condition of sale that he is able to continue working in a laboratory in the basement. His housekeeper Amelia Jones (Maude Eburne) and hired hand Ebenezer (George McKay) also continue to work in the inn. Layden is initially unaware of the nature of Billings's experiments in the basement laboratory: he is attempting to use electricity to create a race of superhumans to help the war effort. Layden's ex-husband Bill (Larry Parks) is against the sale, but is too late to stop it, and decides to stay on at the inn for a few days.
One night at dinner, the residents hear the sounds of a ghost. Bill suspects that this is part of a plan to scare the new owner away. While investigating, Bill discovers in the basement the dead body of travelling salesman Johnson (Eddie Laughton), an experiment subject who died shortly after the sale. He reports this discovery to the local sheriff Dr. Arthur Lorentz (Peter Lorre). After making inquiries, Lorentz realises the potential for profit and decides to work with Billings on a subsequent experiment. Their initial plan is to use Bill as a test subject, but this proves unsuccessful, so they turn their attention to Maxie, a visiting powder puff salesman (Maxie Rosenbloom).
Before the experiments can begin, one of the inn's guests is murdered. Billings and Lorentz see the primary suspect as another guest, J. Gilbert Brampton (Don Beddoe), but the police officers who set out to investigate are intercepted on the way. Maxie scares away an intruder known as "Jo-Jo" (Frank Puglia), who is intending to steal Billings's equipment. Billings and Lorentz decide to begin their experiment on Maxie so that they can use him to stop "Jo-Jo" from blowing up a nearby munitions plant. Meanwhile, Brampton informs Winnie and Bill that he is visiting as a representative of the Historical Society of America, who are interested in buying the inn.
When the police officers eventually arrive, they arrest the housekeeper and Ebenezer for the murders. The dead bodies come back to life, having apparently been in a state of suspended animation. The police officers decide to send the rest of the house's inhabitants to the Idlewild Sanatorium, a local psychiatric institution.
