I just think they're neat

Well that was one possible explanation, but your own source points out fuck had a different archaic meaning.

Yes, honestly the most damning thing they've done, selling out their own users

The state of being watched constantly does harm in itself, even if we are doing nothing wrong. Because we are left to constantly look over our shoulders, like prey animals

I'd say there are different classes of MacGuffin. Some are actually more important and notable in themselves, like the Holy Grail. The One Ring is not really a MacGuffin because it has character in itself. Mount Doom in some ways is the actual MacGuffin. In Mission Impossible 3 they are chasing this thing called the Rabbit's Foot, but the movie never actually explains what it is (it's classified)! In the newer movies they retcon it to be more important. The Infinity Stones are MacGuffins uniting multiple movies' storylines together. The MacGuffin moniker can be pejorative, but it's also part of the reductive aspect of storytelling. We only have so many ways to tell stories.

 

In fiction, a MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is an object, device, or event that is necessary to the plot and the motivation of the characters, but insignificant, unimportant, or irrelevant in itself.

I've been following the Annenberg Crossing since the earliest days. It's amazing

Netanyahu is under extreme pressure from the right and left.

Trump is currently trying to pass a budget full of tremendously unpopular stuff and cuts to Medicaid that will affect his base
