I’m really, really not enjoying this season, and this episode was the worst yet. It felt more like the progressive version of “The Worker and Parasite Show” than anything organic or ‘true’. And I hated that anti-matter speech.

This is not, btw, me raging against progressive themes in DW - but use them properly,…

Well, the first one may have been a terrible film, but it was a great movie. Fine, take my money, and I really don’t give a shit what you call them.

Actually, to defend Avatar, I loathed the SW prequels, so pretty pictures are just not enough. Yet something about Avatar, for all its hokiness and faults, just worked.

And they want to be on Goliath’s team?

I’m not sure if Trump is an idiot or not, but I damn well know that his idiocy isn’t the problem. He is, like it or not, doing a good job of validating his presidency to enough people to make it a success (and, in all honesty, there’s been enough actual meat on some of his economic stuff to give even those on the…

I think the end is too much of a mess for me. I honestly prefer TKDR (Ledger’s Joker aside - because it really is an extraordinary performance).

I will not be lectured by a privileged prat who needs someone else to put toothpaste on his brush, and takes his own furniture whenever he goes to stay with anyone.

“And what name is it, Sir?”
“Chumley.”
“And how are you spelling that?”
“C-H-O-L-M-O-N-D...”
“Get the fuck out of here.”

Some have taken that tack after the event, but the statement at the time made it clear that he was being sacked for the “offence” caused.

For extra fun, please note that “Featherstonhaugh” is pronounced “Fanshaw”.

His joke was stupid; having to resign even more so. Was anyone genuinely offended, or was it just the chance to go after another scalp?

For the record, the bagel version is fairly amusing, if only because who the fuck gives a shit about bagels?

While the name may be slightly less memorable, John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming Churchill is my favourite...

The first time I had a kidney stone, I thought I was dying. If you’ve never had them, imagine being speared through the back with a rusty rebar which an evil demon then twists and yanks at.

That said, I’m ready for them now, and if one hits, I just start running, which is the only thing that numbs the pain (in olden tim…

Obligatory...

Throughout the west, there is a genuine, serious, self-examination that the left and the progressives need to undergo to understand their role in the current varied shit-shows that are making the rounds. And no one should be proud of that role. However, that discussion will not be enhanced by whataboutary of right-wing…

My personal theory is that they only absorb news that supports their shitty attitudes, and Fox and Co. don’t spend a lot of time documenting out-and-out white racism and the consequences thereof. All they get from their media is that they’re under attack and it’s time to take a stand, god dammit!

Well, that was certainly the best so far for this series, but tbh that’s a pretty low bar. Still, it was the first time I found myself actually enjoying pretty much the whole episode, but by god the writing remains painfully on the nose. I got the impression that Trump was only brought up because the writer didn’t…

“Whites don’t shoot whites”, but I bet he happily bitches about affirmative action to anyone who can’t run fast enough. What a hypocrite.

Given this shit never seems to end well for the caller, I can only assume they only watch or absorb news from sources that never report this stuff. When was the last time Fox news ran a report on “white, dumb, racist does something white, dumb and and racist”?

Yeah, I meant the ‘on you’ thing, rather than the Schrodinger’s gun.

What always puzzles me about the anti-vaxxers is that they presumably pride themselves on seeing through the lies of ‘big pharma’, yet seem oblivious to the outright snake-oil bullshit being peddled by Wakefield and his ilk. Do they look at planes, and say “well, that will never fly - I’ll try this magic carpet…
