It is pretty incredible. I've got a 1990s book of cult and underground films and the vast majority were only available through obscure interlibrary loans or something. Now almost every single one can be found as a torrent or uploaded onto some shady streaming site. It's a time of no more obscurities or rarities…

It's why The Beachcombers and The Littlest Hobo were able to consistently get into misadventures every week- everyone's just lost in a fug of Molson, KD and bagged milk.

A white bus driver? In Paterson? That's too much suspension of disbelief.

It's become one of the top 1000 baby names in the UK and US. There'll be so many questions in fifteen years with the only answer "it was a popular television show at the time"

I think his best stuff has been with Trek. He's earned a shot.

I'd pay for a new Trek series with Ronald D. Moore as showrunner.

Best anthem? For sure La Marseillaise

Amazon Prime Video is somewhat like that, you can add subscriptions to additional streaming services for a monthly fee and manage and watch through the app.

Pretty good little vignette. Reminded me of Jeff Lemire's "Sweet Tooth".

I heard Ukraine invaded Russia first!

IMHO the first two seasons are as perfect a reality show as ever existed. They played a lot with different forms of racial subtext in American history while also managing to be both perfectly trashy and campy; enjoyable on so many levels.

Whither Pum'kin? Toastee? Even the fair lady Hoopz?

I really recommend these two Adam Curtis clips. They do a pretty damn convincing job of explaining the roots of the ideological muddle we find ourselves in

That's what I mean by informational relativism. The best example is Hillary's speech on the "alt right"- a legitimate factor in the rise of Trump. She laid out all the connections- the timeline, the actors. Trump responded by calling her a racist and a bigot because she's a democrat. The "respectable" papers only…

It's funny because a wildly unqualified candidate is able to poll within the margin of error, despite not adhering to even the most basic norms and strictures that have defined American public life, due to political polarization and informational relativism! Anyone got any rare pepes to post?

I could have sworn "Yoga Hosers" came out like three years ago, right after they released "Tusk". Dudes really leaning into "things only my equally stoned friends will laugh at" stage of his career.

How much to have a sandwich with Dave Chang?

Cordite and pepperoni- tastes like a well regulated militia.

TIL Zach Braff is 41 and playing 30-somethings. I'd have sworn he was 40 by the time Scrubs ended and had to be pushing 50.

It's supposed to be: Oh fan Bing Bing? Gnib! Gnib! Naf ho.
