I've made the argument for mental illness before, but addiction works well too. The show is this force that he knows is ruining his life and hurting everyone he cares about, but it's also a part of him he just can't stop letting make all his decisions. And once it wrecks everything else, it's the only thing left that…

For me the biggest thing has been getting away from 24 hour news however possible. There's stuff you need to be informed about, and stuff you need to do, but that stuff is actually pretty big and predictable and static.

"Meme seepage" sounds like a side effect Dr Stephen Colbert, DFA would warn one about.

I don't have a sharp eye for this stuff, but it looked fairly cheap to make too.

There was some degree of gawking at the fetishists she went out to talk to, but it was usually very participatory and non-judgmental in said gawking. They also weren't the butt of all the jokes; the foot fetish segment for instance was primarily focused on how gross she thinks her own feet are, and trying to be more…

I'm sure he won't find any way to hurt people by deploying troops, appointing judges and other functionaries, dictating large elements of foreign policy, or giving marching orders to various federal agencies, right?

Things may just be connected and vary across space and time with a sort of continuity and other rules without operating in the "current instantaneous state ->calculate and apply rules…

I'd call Kasich legitimately better than Trump. I mean, Ohio is still there. I disagree with Kasich on a ton of stuff, and he's not really a moderate as the media tried to spin him, but he seems like a sane human capable of governing. Cruz is roughly as awful in a different way.

You might be overestimating the number of people who have even heard of Michael Chabon in the first place a little there.

Yeah i dropped back in for this finale after abandoning it earlier, and it still basically feels like i'm watching the end of Zoolander with me as Mugatu. It's a lot easier to swallow "idiot unrealistically saves the day despite himself" when i agree that what he lucked into doing is important and good.

I'm not sure you can vow to "probably" do or not do things.

Only if the doctor in question was into that.

Nothing says "intentionally bad impersonation" like repeatedly stating your character's name.

I loved the ending of the theatrical Rifftrax thing where they just put up a timer as Torgo tries to stand up. It's like 56 seconds before he's as upright as Torgo's going to get.
