News has been dribbling out of this area, and hard to come by. Compounded by the fact that since it is not Europe or the US or China, most news outlets will just ignore it most of the time. There are no shortage of bad actors among the leaders of Ethiopia, Tigray, and Eritrea - as always, however, it is the people…

I think you underestimate the money flowing through the swampy right-wing eco-system. She “writes a book.” Thousands of copies are bought up as giveaways. She makes an appearance - she will be well-paid to reassure racist white people that they are not racist - it’s the POC that are the real racists. Tucker Carlson…

Hey, a working girl has to make a living, you know? No offense to sex workers.

...because you know crap will be fling and you will need to take a shower after the experience. Better to avoid the whole thing.

The problem with podcasts is the same with self-published authors - sure there are gems out there, but it is a big noise to signal ratio. Even if we could agree there are 2000 good podcasts out there, estimates are that there are around 2 million total podcasts. I would venture to say more are closer to Rogan and Alex…

It’s like the internet appeared, read Andy Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame comment, and then said, “only 15 minutes? Hold my beer.”

He was way in over his head on that show. Look at all of the talent on that show (okay, except for Andy Dick half of the time), and you have to ask how in the hell he was hired.

I first saw Joe Rogan on News Radio, and wondered, “Who thought this guy was funny or could act?” Of course, Andy Dick was such an ass of a train wreck that Rogan could fly under the radar. When he was the Fear Factor host, I thought, “well, he is on brand.” But the popularity of his, “hey bro - I am just asking…

Not to mention that his recurring character on Newhart was ground-breaking in that Prager was gay character who was not merely a caricature nor derived his comedy from the fact he was gay. But yeah, he will always be Johnny Fever to a lot of us.

Not great that Manning’s appearance was the best-written sketch. Maybe it was the lateness of the hour or my inner 7th grader taking over, but I laughed far harder at the “Knowing Yourself” sketch than I should have. The writing was just brutal. And beyond a five-mile radius of Rockefeller center, is there anyone who…

I had hope Fineman would be able to rescue it, but they probably should have opened with her character and written a better segment.

I always thought he looked like an evil Muppet. Like if Sam the Eagle ever went bad and needed a fascist Gobbels-like sidekick.

This. IF they appear in Star Wars, Coruscant would make much more sense. Their scooters belong in some anime somewhere.

I want to know more about the New Republic food riots.

The skittles scooters looked less like vespas and more like Larks. I expected one of the Hutts to show up demanding they return them! Or at least a representative of the Mos Espa Walmart.

Was it just me or was the Tusken night scene really poorly light. I had to up the brightness just to see the fight scene.

His detailed instructions (and insistence) on responding via VHS was hilarious!

And yet, he packed plenty of treats for Gizmo to eat. Very thoughtful for a vampire.

Katie, I love reading your reviews about this show.

For the Stones, there is always Sympathy for the Devil.
