Very strange reasoning.

1. You don’t understand why someone might have an attitude besides “I’m OK, so fuck other people”?

They lied to him about troop deployments, so I can’t imagine they wouldn’t have lied to him about aliens, if in fact it were true.

Middle-aged white man say dumb shit for attention after telling us he frequently says dumb shit for attention; gets attention.

If you ignore the fact that it wasn’t the Muppets. (Were any of the current performers involved in the sketch? Because the puppets weren’t.)

So you’re saying it was a breakout hit?

Good for the media, bad for everyone else. This is a non-controversy that Fox News blew up and now other outlets seem determined to keep going.

The Doppleganger is presently enrolled in an alternate rehabilitation center so that he can be educated... until he meets his anti-matter duplicate and they mutually annihilate.

On the one hand, absolutely, the “great man” theory of heroism is deeply corrosive and wrong. And we need to stop showering with praise the mega-wealthy for showing a basic level of human decency and charity. It’s the people who have nothing and still help out others who are the heroes, not the people who have more…

The Guardian article has some “Clarke’s lawyers said” responses that are just horrible.

So evidently you suffer from a medical condition that makes it unwise for you to get a vaccination and that also forces you to constantly post about that decision on the Internet? That’s an odd condition.

Watch Mercer and Colbert. Colbert spends some time marveling at rules changes compared with the older editions he played.

It’s pretty clear the new platform is going to allow remote group-watching of episodes, as well as something like Monday’s “watch-along” of Hobgoblins with Joel and the new road-show cast.

Yes, and that whole team really bonded through doing 100+ live shows, in a way that it feels like the Netflix squad didn’t have time to manage.

Sharon as Power Broker is still an unresolved plot-line. Not only did she do all those things, but she also kept threatening the lives of the Flag Smashers and then met in person to try to bring them back on-side after planting an (expensive) agent in their midst that she ended up killing.

Carter is either an evil independent, still working for rogue agents associated with the CIA, or a Skrull. Possibly more than one of those.

Walker is a tool, and as one of the few with Super Soldier Serum, he’s a potentially powerful one. Val’s his handler. He’s no hero, but he is a dupe, and he isn’t irredeemable. Yet.

Bravo for Sulagna Misra’s coverage, which I thought was fair even when I didn’t agree. Boo to these hot takes, which in some cases seem to be driven by the reviewers “watching” the show while tweeting or doomscrolling or otherwise not paying full attention. tFatWS had some subtle subtext and a lot of cues that were…

I assume someone’s done a T-shirt or meme where the first panel is a very white woman pulling at a mask with the caption “I can’t breathe!” and the second is George Floyd with a blue elbow on his neck captioned “How the **** do you think I feel?”

1) We know one thing: we know you aren’t funny
