I guess I admire the intent, and it may be important to some people, but I can't stand to listen to it. Grating, lyrically hamfisted, a little too preachy and…worst of all, it doesn't even sound good.

Holy non sequitur Batman!

I know everyone here has said, for the past 5 seasons, that Art is underrated. But I still think he is.

Bullshit had its moments, but my god sometimes the libertarian preaching was unbearable.

OH MY GOD. I read ahead in this review and saw "actually kills Wynn Duffy" and it fucking destroyed me for a while. The rest of the episode was tense as hell for me.

B is promising for a first episode, and B+ for a second episode. I've noticed that very few of my favorite shows hit the ground running. I'll give it a chance.

So I'm a little slow. I just found the Dissolve. Is that Pitchfork trying to ape the AV Club? Seems like a few of my favorite AV Club writers write for it now. Booo!

I'M IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION.

Wow. I had no idea. But surely Jon Stewart's job pays pretty well?

I'm not going to defend her because I'm not really a fan, I just wanted to emphasize that when it comes to liberal commentary Maher is pretty much at the bottom of my list. Maddow can be boneheaded, but not anti-vax boneheaded.

Well I wrote a sloppy sentence. I didn't mean that all adjectives applied to each one, just that between all of them they cover all those things. Colbert and Stewart are funny, Maddow is a little more incisive I think, and they're all intelligent. I don't find any of them smarmy or controversial for controversy's…

He is a legit actor, but looking at his acting resume, the stuff he's doing doesn't seem so great that he wouldn't take a nice gig like The Daily Show, but I dunno.

I feel like I betrayed Stewart, since I've been watching him since the beginning, but when he came back from shooting his movie and there was no more John Oliver, I was so disappointed I actually stopped watching and switched to Colbert only. I still watch the standouts that my friends tell me about, but it's the…

Oliver's a much better interviewer. And a little funnier.

Yeah, mindless, solitary tasks are good for podcasts. Listening to people talk takes the edge off of the loneliness (not being emo here, my life is fine, but sometimes chores can feel isolating). I'm generally a headphones person when it comes to music so I listen to music on commutes and when traveling or surfing the…

I don't understand how people have the time for weekly podcasts. I used to listen to Maron's WTF every week. Just that ONE and it felt like a lot of work to keep up. These days, I'll listen to a WTF, Hardwick, Radiolab and This American Life standout once in a blue moon. I don't know how people do it any other way.

Serious question: people still watch Maher? If you like "controversy" or "smarmy" I guess he's ok, but between Colbert, Stewart, Maddow and there's more but that's it off the top of my head, there's funnier, and more intelligent and incisive liberal political commentary out there. By a mile.

I actually really like Samantha Bee and Aasif Mandvi. I dunno if they could pull off hosting duties, mostly because I've never seen them tested like John Oliver.

I'm told that K2 is the really challenging, technical climb, at least for serious climbers, not rich douches who just want an adventure trip/notch on their belt.

Well, that's all in the past
