I fucking loved that episode. To me it redeemed the tropey regression of the show over the last two years and reminded us of its roots—that the Manichean good guys / bad guys model of storytelling is bullshit.

What happened to the Commentist Manifesto written by Leitch? It has been erased from the internet

Yeah, it was all the IMF’s fault, not 50 years of communism

“I used to think that among consenting adults, it was fine,” she said.

I have never heard of this, and I don’t think we should let 4chan trolls appropriate the most widely known sign language sign in existence

I’m sure this is what you’re referring to, but she’s not just superrich from Seinfeld etc., she’s also a direct Louis-Dreyfus heiress (LD being a major energy infrastructure company)

They should have actually done that instead of the last movie

Puerto Rico got $18B in aid and is much less useful to the (real) US than France is
