Oh, definitely. It’s just a cringy spot in the early run that I have to remember to avoid if I’m ever rewatching.

Even though that episode where Bob starts driving a cab is... a low point in the series.

And yet a sign of how insidious NRA’s messages are throughout the GOP: neither of my parents belong to NRA, the only guns they own are non-fuctional 16th centry pistols and muskets, and yet my dad won’t even listen to calls for there to at least be proper registration in Ohio (where we’re from - fuck the gun shows…

Melusine by Sarah Monette is another one, though that’s fantasy rather than mainstream.

The Hauntening needs to be on this list, personally in place of Sliding Bobs.

My dad is a highly educated, MENSA-level intelligent person, but even he drinks the right wing Kool-Aid now. He’s so far gone that even though he can admit that the Republicans have royally fucked themselves in terms of taking advantage of having both the House and the Senate and the White House, all its done is make…

I found it comforting that, while multiple grossly unqualified candidates stepped forward and even led for a while, ultimately it went back to the candidate who deserved the position, based on experience and intentions.

I thought Elizabeth Moss had a good subtlety about her, but she was one of the weakest parts of the cast, which is more a sign of how strong the casting was overall than a knock against her.

Dad seems like a real fucking piece of work:

Yeah, I realised my mistake after the edit window had closed.

Yes! And she rocks at it, playing both a Lindsey Lohan/Amanda Bynes type former childstar who’s repeatedly slipping off the rails, and the childstar version through flashbacks and clips from the sitcom she starred in.

I think it’s a time issue - it’s still fresh in everyone’s minds - but also because WWII was a huge, messy thing that touched the lives of billions of people and stretched on for years. 9/11 was a single day, in which the USA came to a standstill. I think a fairer comparison would be watching a film about the day that…

And specifically, it was for the episode, That’s Too Much, Man!

Kristen Schaal was robbed for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy. Wtf did Seth McFarlane do that deserved that, over Schaal’s hilarious and heartbreaking voice work for Sarah-Lynn?

I think that the scar might also have been there because thrusting a tool up a horse’s nose isn’t as easy as a human’s. It would require an entirely different technique. Mostly, though, I think it was just because they needed a quick visual cue to make sure the audience understood what had happened.

Whelp, this article put this song in my head:

So, this will sound weird: check out Kesha’s new album. She’s got one wispy-voiced song on there (which is singing about dating Godzilla), and otherwise her voice is used as a powerful, flexible, varying tool. You can see her inspirations and influences woven through every song, which stretch across dance,rock, pop,…

Posted this too! Everyone needs to read Beauty Queens.

I posted about it elsewhere but seem to be stuck in the greys again despite being here for 7 years, but I highly recommend Libba Bray’s ‘Lord of the Flies but with girls’ take, Beauty Queens. It’s silly and awesome and all kinds of weird.

Nope, nope, nope. This has already been done and it is called Beauty Queens by Libba Bray and it is a fantastic, hilarious, diverse, at times fucking bizarre, satire that touches on not just teenage girls being stranded on an island, but also the expectations of family and society and the bullshit of the American…
