I usually disapprove of the excessive 3rd shift av club snark, but I gotta say that it works pretty well here.

This is the best headline I’ve read in a while.

After 17 years and featuring some of the most ambitious and aspirational storytelling in animation, AS isn’t going to give them at least a 4-episode wrap up? Not even a courtesy season?

Venture Bros. is better than Rick and Morty!

That headline was so good I almost forgot I was reading 2020 A.V. Club. 

...so it wasn’t actually turned into a Death Cab for Cutie song then

It’s interesting to me to watch how AV Club writers handle these sorts of things. Usually for this kind of deal, I’d expect them to go all in on how terrible and indefensible Cannon and his statements were, linking back to their last three thinkpieces already on the subject, and tearing into the Masked Singer for not…

I admit, I am 100% ignorant about the Black Hebrew Israelite movement. But at first glance it kind of reminds me of white women who find out they’re .7% Cherokee and start collecting Native art, going to powwows and listening to that one new agey Native flute player that has the sound of a stream going by as he plays…

I feel like this argument is a deflection. Everything in it is correct- however, Viacom didn’t (or at lease didn’t say) they fired him because of the anti-white shit. It was because of the antisemitism. And that isn’t just words, that’s stuff that actively hurts and provokes violence against Jewish people.

But the same team had a receiver [Riley Cooper] who said the word n——- publicly! They gave him an extension! I play for the Big3. We have a Jewish owner. He understands where we stand and some of the things we say, but it’s not directed to him. It’s the way we’ve been treated.

It seems like a recipe for failure to encourage everyone to engage in a dialogue about race in America and then immediately attack someone who expresses a view challenging to your own.

A white girl is telling you that Terry Crews is bad and wrong.

Terry Crews isn’t a Nazi. He isn’t a Confederate flag waver, he doesn’t call police “heroes,” and he isn’t even a Republican. He’s also a black man from one of the poorest cities in America and has spent 30 years of his life in two of the most high-profile businesses that treat black people like objects. And, friendly…

BONG

-50 internet points for dropping a bomb like that without any clarifying details. And two minutes in the Box of Shame.

oh for the love of. he’s fine. the hate on Gad is silly. 

and then the slug people at AVclub reported it, because as shameful as the slug-man’s actions were, slug media thrived on shame, so it was their job to lick it up no matter how disgusting.

Jeff Goldblum for Hades please

Ending coverage of The Simpsons is absurd, compared to the other programs that get coverage. It’s an insult.

Oh fuck off, Barsanti.
