I can’t believe that this was the original planned ending. I think the choices made reflected the shift in the writers’ understanding of Silicon Valley, from something ridiculous to be mocked to something terrifying to be feared.

Welcome, welcome fahoo ramus
Welcome, welcome dahoo damus
Christmas day is in our grasp
So long as we hear Trump’s dying gasp

Right? All the acting is good on this show, but D’arcy is clearly the MVP.

“You libs are so easily triggered.”

Criminal how she didn’t get an Emmy nod for “Janets” last year.

Yup.

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Things that connect you to the ground are always worth the investment;

I’ll surely be paying $7 a month now to basically only watch Frozen 30 trillion times.
Yes we own the DVD. Yes, I know that doesn’t make sense to pay $7 for a streaming service so that your daughter can watch Frozen when we already have a DVD of it. Yes, there are other princesses to watch, can we watch Tangled? No?…

I have a theory that boils around Jason being the wise, monk-like figure after all. It’s just forming, but it has something to do with these people becoming who they were essentially meant to be. Jason’s fake identity as a monk, Eleanor’s as a human rights attorney ... they each are living up to that persona now.…

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I’ll keep saying it as long as it takes to sink in: however fun the Marvel movies are, in the real world there is one and only one superpower.

“I’m not going anywhere,” Biden said.

Fair enough. I’ll give you the rabbit hole of:

Gilbert Ryle referred to…

I didn’t “leave it out”

Spot on.

The “Trump is awful” case has been made. Hillary Clinton’s campaign’s fatal flaw was thinking it was enough. It wasn’t. They should’ve known better. Turnout for the Dems has never ever been about the negative, that’s the GOP. To get the turnout you need you need bold ideas, fresh faces. Obama in 2008 showed us that.…

Context: I live in a red state. I am surrounded by these people. I listen to them daily. I look like one of them, so as long as I stay quiet, they think I’m one of them. There are clearly at least two distinct types: the disciples, who would vote for him if he came to their house, burned it down, raped their daughter,…

If you had told me thirty years ago I would live in a time where elected representatives would climb over each other to be able to throw tantrums like six-year-olds on live television—and do it repeatedly—because these tantrums were their best chance to be reelected, I would have laughed.

Story number 8000 on this ridiculous issue, while the press has moved on from the census/citizenship flop and Jeffery Epstein. As I read somewhere else, the press is like a bunch of cats and Trump has the laser pointer.
