I actually feel The Sopranos was the first - to my knowledge - to have an entire show full of unlikeable characters but was largely misunderstood because people thought Tony was cool.

“Look what the cat brought in the house.” (Not a malapropism per se, but still made me chuckle.)
Little humor.
There’s no character development just avarice and “winning.” Little humor.
Does Roman even have an ideology? People in power like the Roys will always have the influence to get what they want, no matter how policies and politics impact the rest of us. Sort of like how Republicans putting anti-choice regulations in place will always have the means to find abortions for their daughters and…
I think, weirdly, the best social commentary this show has done yet was Ken’s slowly recognizing and dreading the world he’s creating for his kids. It’s a classic, uniquely GOP trait: a total, biological resistance to empathy... until something happens to them personally. Whenever you hear any of these right win…
I need to watch the rest of the season to see if the time skip was worth it or not, because so far, I don’t see the point. Fuches going after Barry, Barry going after Gene, Moss catching Barry; it’s business as usual. The changes brought on by the time-skip are largely superficial. Marvelous Ms. Maisel is also doing…
I don’t even think Roman is really ideologically aligned with Mencken and his fascism. He said tonight words to the effect of “Nothing matters” after he said his dad was dead. The last few episodes he’s been spiraling in his grief. So in his nihilism, electing Mencken doesn’t matter. And it is a better chance of…
That’s the whole point. You’re totally allowed to dislike it (it’s not for everyone), but the tone seems to work for a lot of people. There’s a lot of appeal in how caustic it is. I also wouldn’t say that the characters are unsympathetic. They are totally terrible people, as illustrated by this most recent episode.…
I was just about to say this. ATN doesn’t actually control the election count, and they calling it early by mistake, before it’s revealed that Jimenez actually won, can set up the end of Waystar Royco and the end of the kids controlling the company. The share prices plummet and Mattson buys the whole thing for much…
So, to address your concerns in order:
They had quite a long time between me posting about it on twitter and me publishing this story. It took them more than 12 hours to pull the episode.
Roadkill isn’t a couple of guys with a camera scraping by. The show has (last I heard) somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000 per…
If you film anything in Alabama, there is a good chance that racist and white supremacist behavior or tropes will emerge at some point. After all, the state’s population elected this POS as one of their senators, so those beliefs must be fairly widespread.
Fuck nazis, and fuck nazi sympathizers.

Don’t worry, he’ll just watch Kevin Costner’s Fox Nation documentaries and might not even realize he’s not watching Yellowstone.

Bolt EV and Bolt EUV are sold out of months. Effectively sold out to end of production.
Chevy needs to support these models well into the future to avoid the fiasco that occurred recently when a Volt owner was quoted $30,000 to replace his battery because Chevrolet no longer makes them or has any in stock. No one is going to buy a Chevy EV if they think they’ll get burned like that because Chevrolet…
As someone looking to buy an EV next year that’s not enormous or overly expensive, this is disappointing news as the EUV was near the top of my list.
The Bolt was and is hamstrung by it’s slow charging rate.
