I know Harmon has made mistakes, but I’m always happy that he has a complete self awareness of his own faults and seems to make genuine efforts to improve himself.

“HEY PETE GET THE FUCK IN HERE WE’RE PLAYING CZERNOBOG IMPERIUM DOMAINS OF FOREVERIAUM: 13TH EDITION AND WE NEED A SEVENTH PLAYER SO WE DON’T HAVE TO USE THE LIMITED RULESET-”

Specific, but also accurate.

1. I love Community.

Hey as long as it’s consensual he can get some pu-

They could just as easily have made Che an actor/singer. Ramirez is a Juilliard trained Tony winning performer. There’s nothing about the character that screams that they must be a stand-up.

I’ve been talking about this with people a lot, as it’s something I’ve been seeing more often from conservatives trying to keep at least a DRAM of integrity. Their party is an absolute, unmitigated failure, in ways that it is impossible to ignore if you’re a thinking person in legitimately any way.

Agreed it’s a stretch but also as a southern VA native... there’s a lot of folks who have not gotten over the civil war, including the schooling system. What I would have given for a good history education *sigh*

They are awkward. It reminds me of the kind of improvised protest song you hear in “Harlan County USA”. That’s fine in the moment but the second time it comes on my radio I’m changing the channel.

Story of Merica in one sentence.

Yeah, I agree that it seems highly plausible that a Texas politician is lying to push racism. But the alternative doesn’t seem too farfetched to me, that a young child growing up in a deeply racist household (because Texas) was “traumatized” by school materials that didn’t match what their parents said.

He got attention today, and didn’t even have to go outside. He’s living his best life right now, even if a normal person would see how insanely, pathetically cringe it is.

This isn’t an indictment of your identity as a queer person, Che. It’s an indictment of your talent as a comedian. Is that better?

Show continues to make we wonder why any of the three core characters are worth rooting for. I get you wanted flawed heroes except their characteristics of being self centered and self focused isn’t told as selfish but heroic. As pointed out, Carrie abandoning her boyfriend because of a deadline is a very Carrie thing…

I’m a biologist. You aren’t meant to be vegan. We haven’t evolved to be vegan. We are omnivores. We have incisors for slicing meat from bone. We have canines for tearing large chunks of meat and we have molars for grinding plant material. We also have a short intestinal tract more suitable for digesting and processing…

Oh, he doesn’t, at least not any more than he ever realizes he’s a good chunk of the way towards the Frederick Forrest character too.

Yep.

Okay. I did a podcast series on the Ghostbusters quartet of movies, and the thing that I will maintain until I die is that while part one was pretty bad for Ernie, it was expected due to the fact that this was a role originally written for a bigger star, and once that star didn’t take the role, his lines were reduced…

One of Evangeline Lilly’s parents is a teacher, she graduated high school and went on to complete a degree in International Relations at the University of British Columbia, which is a good school. So in her case, she’s not a child star who never got a chance to get a normal person education, she’s just a stone cold…
