Putting this here for now. I couldn’t believe how calculated the makeover was.

Oh here it is. It’s amazing how much they changed him.

It’s almost like he thinks the rules don’t apply to him... Oh wait...

has violated a condition of his release by failing to comply with his curfew, traveling outside the parameters of his curfew at least eight times

“Some strangers show him support.”

Rooting for the long arm of the fine print on this one.

He talked about emotional “ups and downs” and having his life “torn apart” in the media.

How the fuck does this asshole have a girlfriend.

Yeah, that’s pretty much the entire fucking point.

We’re it, Sqarr. You’ve got us, babe.

Yeah but whoever thought that was okay to program should not be programming shit.

The most infamous incident was the 1995 rape of a 12-year-old girl by three Marines, who were ultimately convicted and served six or seven years in prison each. One of them, Kendrick Ledet, later sexually assaulted and murdered a woman in Georgia before killing himself.

If they can’t have any poc actors because of ‘authenticity’ (lol) then what is preventing them from having a diverse production crew? Is there not a single way to employ a person of colour?

I buy this, though. I don’t have a problem with the lack of diversity on this show, because I feel like its entire role is lampooning the absurdity of silicon valley culture. It’s supposed to be an exaggerated version of start-up/venture politics, not an idealized version of it. They even have a whole episode about…

I’ve always seen the lack of diversity on the show as an implicit criticism of silicon valley culture. I think having a diverse cast despite the whiteness of the real silicon valley would serve to protect the very people they’re trying to mock.

The idea that a lone black man is responsible for their misery, and not the countless white guys they elect, is a continuation of their racist beliefs. They believe that Obama has supernatural demonic powers. It's so sad that some people are so invested in hate but fuck em.

What a perfect thing to say. And my coping threshold is down around my shins right now but still: oof.

It really can’t be overstated how incredible this is:

“Can you believe that we’re both sitting in this Oval Office?”

I would be simultaneously, hysterically laughing and crying if President Obama invited me to the Oval Office and hugged me. They would probably need to have me removed and ask me to count backwards by 7s.
