I don't think the implied tone/message was ever "I can't believe I made it out of here." The point, more or less, is that racism exists everywhere and nobody had to be bussed in. Very often New Yorkers like to lie to themselves about how liberal and accepting this city and its people are. But its cops are racist. …

don't keep getting owned on this thread. no, actually, do keep doing that. it's hilarious.

I mean. Great response.

REPORT: Anonymous Internet Guy Has Anonymous Ancestors Who Fought Nazis

go back to 4chan or writing your mra manifesto or whatever it is you do.

I'm going to guess that some of the Nazi assholes who showed up only had to stumble out their doors. Astoria is a cesspool of racism and ignorance.

I am surprised by how un-Talking Heads like these songs are. I thought Armisen was a student of music, but here he fails to tap into the groove-like nature of Fear of Music/Remain In Light Talking Heads. I thought a lot of the stuff sounded like fluffier, poppier new wave acts (the bands that lay people mistakenly…

Ugh. This really puts a stain on their career. I'll never listen to "Abracadaralifornia" the same again. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Dee's a bird!

Ha! I was wrong. It is about YOU!

I take no issue with fans in mourning today. I was in shock myself upon hearing the news. And while I wouldn't tell anybody how to mourn, I have no problem reiterating Bowie's family's wishes. They are the ones who are truly in mourning today. While we will always thankfully have Bowie's music and his legacy, they…

Pretty sure his family has asked for privacy, but ok. Do you, 'cause this is, after all, about you.

meh.

Like I said, I need to rewatch. I think, as another person mentioned, I'm reacting too hard to the Malvo revenge thing. I'm also not taking into account enough the Midwestern value sets and aesthetic.

Sorry, my comment originally mixed up Hank and Lou. At least Mike knows where he stands.

I thought Lou's* "That's the rock we push" re: caring for women was extremely crass and chauvinistic. But again, it's in the same vein as Betsy's reading of Camus, so he meant it as a positive.

Well I think we have to keep in mind that Peggy is mentally ill. She works hard, though, for herself and her family. She's certainly not a "taker"—although this term is rife with troubling political connotations to begin with, no? Yes, she squanders the family's savings, but what she's up against is Ed's dream of…

That's a great reading. And I don't think it's Hawley's job to address concerns about Peggy's feminism. She is a character, a wonderfully written and incredibly developed character by the Season Finale. She happens to be female, she happens to be a woman striving for independence. She is inherently flawed by some…

I think I need to rewatch last year's finale, but I recall it ending an over-the-top, saccharine, heteronormative, 50s style familial scene that didn't sit well with me. I'm exaggerating a little and using my own subjectivity—I wasn't literally suggesting she was demoted to housewife as a job, sorry, just meant in…
