It's almost as though we want David Milch to tell us something pretty.

Why is an article from 2016 here, and can I please go back with it when it leaves?

Nah, I hear you— I definitely hope the movie gets made, I just feel that the show's approach to narrative makes it less dependent on closure and resolution than many others.

2, I think— it's still really solid, but it suffers some from being more disconnected from the series as a whole. The show is so much a portrait of a community, but the docks are much more insular and don't feel as tied to the overarching vision.

Oh, no worries— I didn't expect you to know about it. And I don't think the jokes were in response to the article, they've just been going on for years and people are so used to it now that it's become a meme. When the article came out, a lot of people in the comments realized how shitty the jokes had been in…

It certainly doesn't feel like it has as much to say or as nuanced a view of society as a lot of the other major dystopian works.

Opinion: the first season of The Wire is really fucking good and stands alongside the other high points of the show, and I like the tighter focus and the more structured plot. There's definitely room for debate about whether The Wire is the best show ever made— I'd argue that it's three brilliant seasons, one pretty…

It's pretty good.

I guess children are like that, wanting to know all the information. I guess that's how they are.

The bald contempt of it. Why not come out five abreast, cavorting and taunting? Deadwood was left out! Deadwood was left out! Cocksuckers. C*ntlickers. I'll make you filthy gestures.

Sorry, I must have missed that— it also called it "trolling," which I'm used to carrying a much more negative connotation than the good-natured goof that this was.

He couldn't remember the name of the leader of the country he's threatening to go to war with. If that's minutiae, what do you consider important?

In those weeks, tens or hundreds of thousands of civilians would die in Seoul due to North Korean artillery. I'm not saying that simply ignoring NK is the solution, but let's not ignore the fact that a unilateral decision on the part of the US would also force South Korea into war, whether they want it or not, and…

Him loving that movie also explains his promise to invade Fuckheadistan.

Not to give advice, though— they're just being brought in so Sessions can finally press charges.

I'm reminded of a joke from the Spinal Tap commentary track. "If your question begins, 'did Jeff know,' then the answer is no, no he didn't."

I promise that this isn't an attack on you or anything— lord knows you're not the only one making the joke —but I wish we could cut it out with those "O'Neal is a drunk" jokes after the really personal and moving article he wrote last year where he discussed being a recovering heroin addict. It just seems in really…

Aw, that update's really nice. We don't deserve Raffi.

You're right, we should all be nicer to white people after a majority of them voted to fuck the country over due to hate, fear, and resentment. They're not stupid at all.

One of my favorite superheroes is basically just that— Stardust the Super-Wizard, a Golden Age Superman knockoff made by a violent alcoholic who was probably some degree of psychotic. Even more powerful than Superman, but with zero regard for human life.
