It wasn't automatic. Not sure where you got that idea. But you had to get the app and then sign in using your Instagram account to set up the thread profile. They had "shadow copies" of your Instagram profiles on threads so for example you could sub to someone's profile and when they'd join threads you'd get their activities. But no it wasn't automatic.

'Foundation' Is Fixing The Trickiest Thing About the Asimov Books
Reply in thread
Honestly dude.. as someone who has read every single asimov book, and the entire foundation series and then read the entirety of the robot series, these books were my lord of the rings. The show is doing something different. I'm willing to wait and see how things go. I mean hari being an immortal consciousness and all is already completely different. I simply enjoy being in the world of the foundation at all.
The only real way I'll probably actually get to see something like the book in a non written way is as a 4x game a la crusader kings, or total war, or Stellaris. Heck or even as an RPG. I just don't think it's easily adaptable for TV or cinemas. For them attempting to do this and weaving in the foundations story is pretty commendable from my perspective and I hope they keep improving the story. Shame about Daneel olivaw.

I love democracy
Snow White (Terry Crews) is introduced as a charismatic and strong character, loved by all animals in the forest. He's strong but gentle, charming, and not afraid to show his emotional side. He sings to the animals with a deep, booming voice, a hilarious contrast to the original character's high-pitched singing.
Snow White: (singing in deep voice) "I'm wishing, (I'm wishing) for the one I love, to find me, (to find me) today..."
The Queen orders the Huntsman to bring back Snow White's heart. However, the Huntsman cannot bring himself to harm Snow White, who's flexing his muscles and humming a cheerful tune.
Huntsman: "I... I can't do it. Forgive me, Snow White."
Snow White: (flexing) "No worries, man. Everyone has a hard time dealing with these guns."
Upon discovering the dwarfs' cottage, Snow White starts cleaning. However, instead of the delicate tidying of the original, Terry Crews' Snow White lifts heavy furniture single-handedly and dusts with a peacock feather duster, all while maintaining a contagious cheerfulness.
Snow White: "Well, this place needs a little muscle love. Let's get to it!"
Snow White wins over the dwarfs with his charm and kindness. His interactions with the dwarfs are playful and endearing, unlike the traditional motherly role of the original Snow White.
Snow White: "You guys could use some protein in your diet. What do you say, tomorrow we start the day with a proper workout and a protein shake?"
When the Queen, disguised as an old woman, offers Snow White the poisoned apple, Snow White is hesitant but doesn't want to be rude. He takes a bite and collapses in a dramatic, comedic fashion.
Snow White: "An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? But just to be sure... (flexes arm)...proteins are better."
When the Prince arrives to awaken Snow White, he's taken aback by Snow White's size. However, he's determined to break the spell. The moment is played for laughs, with the Prince struggling to lean over Snow White.
Prince: "I... I've come to break the spell..."
Snow White (waking up): "Did I hit the snooze button again?"

[Today] A Texas mom was denied maternity leave after delivering a stillborn baby
Reply in thread
FMLA is unpaid typically. Short term disability also isn't full pay I think it's 50-60%. From what I've seen, family leave is fully paid time off. So... You get fucked. Bereavement exists but most employers don't offer it nor is it required federally. Apart from that the time you get away isn't much compared to family leave. Not enough to have your fucking body recover from still born birth.

It won't be killed. We've already seen them allow bibles in schools while denying every book conservatists don't want. It's a double standard that's not being enforced in the federal court level. And if you think the supreme court will block that then good luck.

Yeah this wasn't how the bus driver should've behaved. Perhaps decline driving them or drop them off in a safer location. They were 5 years old for crying out loud.
