Starship Troopers is an amazing movie, David Roth is an incredible writer and Great Hills Partners are among the biggest group of fart-huffing, self-satisfied morons in a fetid sea of private equity vultures.

Since I believe Kevin is the only Riverdale cast member who crossed over to the furture, I also would accept with Riverdale logic that Kevin is a time traveler

just to point out that the Chapo subreddit, love it or only really like it, was quarantined (i.e. inconvenient to access for people not already subscribed, and posts would never hit the main feed) months ago for making a series of memes in support of abolitionist John Brown. The content of those memes could best be

Oh fuck Pao.

oh no, rudeness!

LOL the real story is chapo getting banned. i guess pointing out the imminent class war really rubs neoliberals the wrong way. we’re busy fucking up netflix, don’t remind us of the real world!

As far as making jokes about Trump being tough is concerned, I will once again say that John Mulaney nailed it with “Horse Loose in a Hospital”. It avoids all the usual tiny-hand, orange-skin jokes and zeroes in on the pure absurdity not just of, as he puts it, “this guy being president”, but on everyone else trying

Voting for the neoliberal Democratic party isn’t voting for their interests either.

Not only did The AV Club praise that sketch in a review of the episode, the sketch itself got its own Newswire (the video was leaked before the show premiered):

What’s sad to me isn’t that AV club has gone this way in isolation. It seems to be that thoughtful, reasoned commentary on pop-culture is going away. I won’t read the conservative rags, but all the progressive ones I used to like (this place, slashfilm, pop culture happy hour) have become predominantly built around

Well, no, not really. There’s always been an editorial tone in Newswires. They told us we’d love Dawes! But the sanctimonious lecturing here, especially as it takes the side of a corporation that had zero problems approving this when it came out and is refusing to actually engage with the points the art is making, is

Interestingly, AV Club gave this episode of Bob and David an “A”.

Well the video is marked as private so I can’t quite judge the sketch, but it appears as though the point was, honestly, exactly in line with the times going by the description: Being believed to be black automatically provokes police to violence, and being white gives you a ton of leeway. But I can’t see it so who

No better way to get people to agree with you than telling you that it’s wrong to disagree with them!

I’m all but done with this site at this point. I just click here because of motor memory and I really just need to clear the cache so it doesn’t pop up anymore. This is a sad facsimile of a facsimile of a facsimile of what was once a great pop culture website with a thriving community.

Remember when The AV Club would report the news, rather than tell you the specific, exact response you should have to it?

Lady Antediluvian was right there.

Agreed. Other than avoiding the trope — which I agree with! — everything about their plan makes it sound worse. The Bruce Wayne mystery is kinda awkward because we know it’s really just because they can’t use the Batman characters as regulars.

This will have a similar awkwardness, and at least everyone on the show

I think it could lead to an awesome trend, where the lead character of every season disappears at the start of the next one. If the show lasts long enough, you’ll end up with a Gotham that has only three people in it.

You realize that you are talking about the Arrowverse, where they have recycled the same Flash plot for years?
