How soon people forget the motherfuckin’ ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER.

Written by the meat industry to sell you antibiotic filled, steroid grown meat.

I just don’t understand how aggressive so many meat eaters are about eating meat. Like, ok you eat meat, good for you, no one is forcing you not to. God forbid people try to do something good for the environment or animals.

I cut beef out of my life over two years ago and only occasionally eat a beyond or impossible

My husband is more or less the target demo for these sorts of things — he barely eats any beef and is happy to try chicken alternatives too, though most of the plant-based subs we eat are Impossible. We went from beef burgers to turkey burgers to Impossible burgers, which replicate the flavor of beef more closely

Archie is not F*CKING Mr. Weatherbee!!”
“Read between the LINES, B*tch.”

My friends and I were cry-laughing at parts. I went in thinking it was going to be a more subdued Nathan For You because the reviews implied it was light on laughs, but holy shit no, it’s like the Smokings Allowed episode stretched out into a series, I couldn’t be more happy 

One of my favourite jokes was Nathan eating a sauce packet as a snack when he was undercover as Thriftyboy.

It’s nuts that so few reviews I’ve read of this focus on the humor, or view the humor as incidental. This episode was chock full of belly laughs for me, especially when he incepts Kor the trivia answers (“It’s moments like these I curse the Chinese for inventing gunpowder”). I get that the deep introspective stuff is

After reading this piece I had to check out Nathan For You. This guy is like the softer side of Sacha Baron Cohen.

No, the title should be “Man quits job on principle”.

Favorite memory, 7 year old me bellying up to the bar at the Long Branch Saloon in Dodge City and ordering up a Sarsaparilla.

I believe what he’s saying is that Baltimore does not have enough dragons to be appealing to today’s audiences. 

I think there’s shades of that with his comment about stepping on people’s toes, but I think the larger part is that he thinks HBO (or other media conglomerates) doesn’t want any part of a show that only has a niche appeal and is planned for multiple seasons. The same way Amazon is spending billions of dollars trying

Maybe because they’re the ones touting it as “full self-driving” when it’s anything but, whereas every other manufacturer calls it a driver aid.

Was Simon suggesting that the show would not be greenlit because it stepped on toes, i.e. would be perceived as racist or derogatory? Because that’s the vibe I got.

This is an album a friend gave me when he was unloading all of his physical media back in like 2010. He gave me so much stuff, I never got around to listening to it; I mostly just focused on any live albums or EPs for bands I was otherwise already familiar with. I’m sure Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is in a box in my closet

This is my final feature for The A.V. Club. Thank you all for reading my music writing. It's been such a joy to give the music section the love it deserves.
