not having the cast together hurt, but what really hurt were the longer episodes. Comedy is brevity, and giving MH as much time as he wanted actually hurt the show. AD was a very dense show—it had one of the highest jokes-per-minute outside of 30 Rock. That wasnt true of S4, and it *really* suffered for it.

Devin Faraci sucks though. Any grown man who straight-faced writes about how Captain America is pushing the art form of cinema forward, whose career seemingly exists mainly as an arm of the Marvel Universe's marketing division— even before he turned out to be a creep, I hated him for being horrible at his job

Camp Cope fucking rules. Thanks.

ill check out cape cope. Thanks.

I don't know that this is a bad list, but I didnt love much new music at all in 2016.

I dont care about this. I hate the phrase "first world problems"

I have no problem with jokes about anything. I don't care about punching down, even if that person getting punched is an unborn baby. But in context, this wasnt a joke.

I actually don't believe that though. It wouldve been easy to make a joke about how much you love abortion. You can easily imagine Sarah Silverman or Amy Schumer doing that sort of bit. She was earnestly talking about how brave people who have abortions are, and how she feels inadequate because she's never had one. It…

I used to think she was brilliant at skewering a certain type of hipster trust fund narcissism, but now I just think she incidentally does that because she is that exact person

Cheap Girls are great, and the Counting Crows occasionally write great, poignant songs. This is one of them,

I dont think this movie needs sequel, but what it *really* doesnt need is a sequel with Emily Blunt's character. She was great, but the arc was over. To have her come back and be the hero ruins the whole (in this case, bleak) point of the movie. It basically becomes Rocky 2.

he was really good in Spring Breakers. He was basically riff raff, but still, really good

That wasn't my argument at all. I just think singling out Donald Glover is ridiculous. Especially for something not even from this record, but from a long time ago that you probably listened to once, if that

I want to qualify that statement: I think it's very clever, but I also could see how it could be tiresome. It's maybe too much of a joke to use as a label, because jokes wear out

I'm not sure this even counts as light choreography. Kanye stands in one spot looking really intense the whole time. Just trying to rip open a black hole of self-seriousness all by himself

I've never seen this before, but calling white hipster R&B, PBR&B, is pretty brilliant

I agree with all of this, but MDE was more subversive and more willing to attack sacred cows/norms than almost any liberal comedian. I say that as someone with problems as to the kind of show this became.

what is 999 but an inverted 666

I don't love everything MDE does, or even most of it, but I was glad that it existed, just because I appreciate when comedy takes shots at anyone. As the dominant cultural paradigm became means-testing centrist liberalism, I think there was a value to a right leaning comedy.

Here's the voting rates of baby boomers when they were the same age as millennials now. Boomers voted the same rate, Gen X voted less. At about 10% lower than the other two.
