Nobody's going to get hurt! It's just… the implication…

How do you charge a donation? Whoever thought that up doesn't seem to understand what donation means.

Wait, seriously? I mean, I'll agree that Baskets is much more a kind of absurdist drama than a comedy, so is rarely really laugh out loud funny. But Between Two Ferns? I think it's been years since I've laughed at something as hard as at some of that initial run.

Hey, if dead people can vote for Hillary…

Hey, that was probably my favorite episode since the pilot. Which kind of makes me think I would be fine with a whole series of people trying to comically deal with isolation and the end of the world in a purely anthological format.

"Never open a book with weather": yeah, fuck you William Gibson!

Mostly this just reminds me of the scene from Fear and Loathing where an "expert" is brought in to try and explain pot lingo to a police convention.

LIKE THE MEMBERS OF MY CABIN- I MEAN DID YOU SEE WHAT I HAD FOR LUNCH? CRAZY RIGHT?

Yeah, Hollywood, stop tweeting and do your goddamn job!

Wilco: Sky Blue Sky. I'm fine with falling out of love with an artist, and I don't think it diminishes my respect for their earlier work. Sky Blue Sky just made it clear that Wilco had settled on a groove and were no longer really pushing for something new, which is fine. And Impossible Germany was still a pretty…

He's the voice of inarticulate rage, it would only offend his voter base to attempt coherence. That's for all those pinheaded elites.

But talking gorillas are so old, grandpa! Us kids want our talking gorillas to do something new, have a twist; like, he smokes, and swears and rides a motorcycle!

Crucial part of keeping Tom Cavanagh on the payroll

Marmite is preferred in England. In Australia it is Vegemite that is the most popular yeast-extract toast spread. And it is delicious.

Isn't the point kind of that telepathic/kinetic powers render the whole subject/object divide meaningless? Kind of like how Killgrave could not comprehend the notion of other minds in Jessica Jones because, of course he couldn't: all other people cede their will to him by default. If you can remake reality with your…

Yeah, I was pretty disappointed in it overall. It felt like… they were going for a '70's exploitation vibe, but couldn't bring themselves to commit, which left it in this weird, cringe-worthy state of self-effacing camp.

It really was, just an almost instant drop into turgid, morose, boring melodrama. I think I watched the rest of the season just out of disbelief, wondering when they were getting back to the real show they had launched with.

Yeah, I agree it's idea of history and causality is garbage… but it's such fun garbage. Although this may just be because I'm not American, so the various pop-history renditions it does aren't quite as tired. You guys are weirdly obsessed with your own history, given how short it is. I mean, it's endearing, but very…

Do people still listen to Lawrence Krauss when he opens his mouth? Honestly, the man is a living cartoon of physicist hubris.

Actually… no, apparently it isn't
