Ms. Conduct’s accent was enchanting. Mr. Mackey is a lucky man, mmmawllright

SNL took a throwaway sketch and made a 30-minute animated special out of it that was weird, dumb and yes, funny. AV Club took that special and made a humorless 1,500-word review out of it.

The thing that stuck out most to me in Rick’s monologue there was when Beth protested that she couldn’t leave her family, and Rick replied, “Then stay and luxuriate in a life you can finally know you’ve chosen.” I thought that was such a beautiful turn of phrase. It’s so easy to feel trapped by circumstance in life,…

Nah, I’ll pass.

Tyler Perry preaches to the converted. Baldwin Hills is one of the famous wealthy black neighborhoods in the country. To make a long story short, they are more bourgie than churchy.

I think one can savage Insecure for lots of reasons. The real issue is that they are not writing the show for savvy cultural commentators that have had all of these discussions before. They are talking to folks who were impressed by “Dear White People.”

1) the pearl clutching condom use won’t stop.

Well tbf. He said he was asked after Jim died and Brian is the main guy is he not? So that seems to jive with his version, and is the daughter even part of the business? That post seems strangely bitter. But that’s not my business.

The story of tea begins in China...

Lol

I’m really having trouble conceiving of a higher level of entitlement than expecting YouTube- a company, not a public utility- to not only host your video content for free, but also owe you the ability to make money from their hosting of your video content.

Stop calling it that. Milk has a scientific definition. It cannot be secreted from almonds, soy, or your over-inflated ego.

You can call it Almond Milk all you want, we all know it’s Nut Juice.

Dude, fuck almond milk. It’s too thin and almonds are bullshit.

I think we’re talking semantics here. Though I’m American, like you, I didn’t know the gritty details, but had some cursory knowledge of racism in Australia.

It’s pretty widely known. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of Australian history/culture would know this (see: the entire commonwealth), and it’s mentioned in American media from time-to-time.

Not commenting on how catchy the title is. Commenting on the phrasing of the title can be said to imply that the “white utopia” or racism is history in Australia when it is alive, well and encouraged. It isn’t even like hidden racism in the US south where people pretend. Loud and proud would be closer to current…

Thank you for this post, Arken. Someone definitely gets what the Muppets were like when Jim Henson was around. Jim Henson would not have gone for a Vaudeville act for a 2015 show. People wanting to see that are just fooling themselves. Henson always emulated the current era...and what we saw last night was poking fun…

she’s/that’s repugnant and it has to mess with your psyche.

He’s just pretending to care about one group in order to attack another.
