The show makes it seem like karate in the Valley is as important as high school football in Texas. I love it.

My father was is his 50s when I was born. So if he could score with someone closer to my age...

instead we get to watch it run out of gas in real time. the whole massive contract renewal feels like your dad caught you smoking rick and morty and is now making you smoke a carton to learn your lesson.

“Oh shit! That is a RED one!”

And while I’m making trivial complaints... it’s a BIT disappointing that the GoGotron design (the Gotron made from 5 other Gotrons) looked exactly like the regular Gotron. No fun hybrid design or anything. It’s a lot to ask, but would have helped drive home the ridiculousness of a mech with 25 unique pilots.

Kurt wasn’t connected? His band consisted of the drummers from Garbage and the Foo Fighters, and he was married to the lead singer of Hole. He was *surrounded* by celebrities.

This back and forth seems needlessly reductive and prefer not to feed a competition that doesn’t need to be—Billie Eilish might be calling out fans because fan interaction has changed in nearly 30 years—but I just going to take this opportunity to post this link:

“Call out the fans”? Fuck, what a thought! Are her fans the ones who like her pretty songs? Do they like to sing along? Do they own and operate firearms?

Also seems a bit weird to compare a depressive burnout who stumbled into superstardom with a hyper-connected child of immense privilege. Kurt was never interested in being relatable, Billie never *was* relatable in the first place.

Yeah, he’s seems like an awesome and fun guy to be around when everything is going his way, but also seems like the kind of person to just explode or overreact when it’s not. Which... I guess makes him not that great of a guy?

“At times, Bill was just really irrationally mean and unavailable; he was constantly late on set,” he said. “What I’d want to say to him is just what we tell our children: ‘You don’t have to throw tantrums to get what you want. Just say what you want.’”

Yeah I saw someone somewhere saying “I am so glad F9 did so well, I am tired of all these comic book movies” and I just couldn’t process that. Sure there is not an F9 comic book but the characters in those movies are basically superheroes without capes at this point.  Its a silly line in the sand

It’s just the liberal media’s War on Life Day.

And then it actually commits to the bit by having said characters fuck at the end of the episode, proving Hailey right.

When Haley does the “why dont you two just fuck” joke, she immediately undercuts it by saying that she “took a psych 101 class and understands the world now”

I think I figured out something about this season that had been happening a lot, that I don’t think I’m a fan of. See Rick and Morty started in a groundedish version of Earth. Sure, Rick can escape to alien worlds and alternate dimensions and all that, and that makes sense in the logic of the show. But now, Earth in…

Season 6 was fantastic.  Keith David encouraging white people is just wonderful. 

You know what should you all should also be covering because it’s pretty much as good as Rick and Morty? American Dad. It’s still got a decent batting average this many seasons in, and I think we ought to talk about that. This is all to say: Rick and Morty is sort of becoming American Dad, right? Not just me?

Same. Season 6 too, actually. Good stuff.

I’ll go to bat for Season 5 of Community.
