I’m a semi-old, I guess (saw SCTV in reruns on the first few years of Nickelodeon).

I’m sorry for painting all the youngs with a wide brush. :) 

It’s what happens when all the writers are so young, I guess.

Formally known as Andrea Martin, a comedy icon.

I thought season 3 was marginally better than 2, but that’s just because 2 was such a massive shitshow that anything would have been an improvement.  A lot of season 3 episodes just went in and out of my headspace; I didn’t find them particularly memorable. Just my opinion.

...almost everyone would make a good cop realizes how shitty being an officer is and thus do something better with their lives.

Chilling - and not even hyperbolic right now. Ugh.

Agreed; it’s all we’ve got at this point, really.

I can’t tell if you think that’s what I’m saying, but I’m not advocating sitting back and doing nothing. But I don’t hold out much hope that white people will collectively rise up and march for racial justice.

It is.

Yeah, I agree, but they had a Congressional majority when they fucked us. You think Susan Collins is going to vote “no” on two or three consecutive SCOTUS picks? Because I don’t.

It deeply upset me as well, despite having seen something like this multiple times (as I’m sure you have).

I get what you’re saying here. I think there’s a tendency on the part of major news media sources to try very, very hard not to come off as liberal. So what they do, in print and on TV, is present these contrary takes again and again and again. So when Obama is POTUS, the opinion sections are filled with how he’s…

Yeah, I was just saying this to someone else. Fighting against it, in principle, at least gets people together, whipped up, and ready to fight - in November.

You’re right - I suppose at this point that getting out the vote is our last, best shot.

the fact that Amy Barrett Whashername thinks that faith is more important than adherence to the Constitution should have disqualified her from any position on the bench.

Honestly, I don’t have much hope that they’ll be able to hold on to Manchin. I would hope that in addition to his anti-choice stance, they’d also hammer Kavanaugh really hard in his confirmation hearings about the writing he’s done defending the idea that a sitting president should essentially be above the law. I…

Yeah, I know about the whole changing the justices thing. This is what I was getting at - the Dems controlling both houses and the Presidency if that ever happens, ain’t gonna happen for a while.

I’m not following. How could Dems pack the court? 

I’m deeply afraid to say this, but I think you’re right.
