if you look off into the distance your eye merges them together into an actor with more than 1 dimension.

I gotta tell you, I was NOT expecting it to be a musical episode.

Maybe people are just sick of hyper-sensitive bullshit

O’Neal on Neil — unworthy, I kneel.

Yes. Conan is still funny.

I think the myth of the uniform white experience is one of the most ridiculous of our time. I get that people of lighter skin are better off, but how is my cushy life in the middle class anything like my dad’s life growing up in the slums in Philadelphia or his grandfather’s life coming here from Italy. I don’t doubt,…

Hank Azaria is a sappahrdic jew whose parents are Greek immigrants. Is he still white?

I mean, enough has been said on both sides that I won’t re-iterate anything here, but at this point, who really cares? He said his bit, Simpsons said theirs, it remains a middling cartoon far past the point of being socially relevant anyway. Fans will always have the classic Apu episodes, socially conscious critics…

Boo hoo, poor him, I guess?

Eh, we already saw Bullock killing Hearst in Santa Clarita Diet.

Yeah, but a bunch of people making fun of white trash and missing the real problems going on in the American economy is how Trump got elected, so there’s that.

I find myself not caring about this Hari Kondabolu fellow all that much, so I guess that makes me considerably evil. Outside of his documentary, which piggybacks on The Simpsons brand, nobody has ever heard of this fellow. My feeling is that members of the writing staff and the shows’ producers, might very well…

I thought the Simpsons nailed dismissive and reductive attitudes towards Apu to the wall a long, long time ago, via Reverend Lovejoy:

See, this is the part of the argument I don’t understand. I don’t buy that he was bullied *because* of Apu, rather the bullying took the *form* of Apu because that was the only popular Indian character the children would be familiar with. It seems like the Simpsons are getting blamed for being one of the first…

“The idea that Apu is still working at the Kwik-E-Mart versus owning these places seems weird,”

While the perfect is the enemy of the good, the mediocre will kill it just as well. Biden is an awful candidate. The 1% already have Trump. Maybe pick a candidate that thinks beyond the upper 10%.
