Yeah, likewise. Everything about that show was stellar. At this point, I think it’s only available to buy via Amazon Video.

There have been a veritable ton of amazing shows from Adult Swim that flew under the radar. My three favorite are:
- Dream Corp LLC
- Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell
- The Heart, She Holler

I think you are right in the sense that this may be under the radar now, but this was a big hit at the time. Made the careers of all the people you list, plus Jessica Hynes. Fantastic show.
You might enjoy Black Books, if you haven’t seen it. Another one is The Royle Family.

This is not about intelligence. People, in general, are really fucking smart. Think of the dumbest person you know, who is not cognitively disabled. I’d bet they are intelligent enough to hold down a job and live a meaningful life. Of all the things I’ve seen that hold people back, lack of intelligence doesn’t even rank.
I think high levels of bias are to blame. Current media and culture encourage the embrace of bias because it makes people easier to sell to; more suggestible to marketing. It doesn’t matter how smart you are, if your navel feels good when someone sings your tune, you’ll believe whatever they tell you. Especially if you aren’t even making an attempt to understand your bias tendencies.

That would be torturous, indeed

I dunno, but it is certainly in the universe of movies I don’t care about.
- Comment on I just saw the words "Beatles Cinematic Universe" 1 month ago:
Biopics suck in general, but calling this a cinematic universe is cranking it up to levels of lame I wasn’t prepared for.
This could have been something I blissfully ignored; four movies about each of the band members. Instead, some movie studio asshole right now is dreaming about Jimi Hendrix getting his own feature for the BCU.

That sounds miserable. I don’t know if any music would hold up under that, but I’m damn sure “Love Me Do” gets old fast.
I don’t really have a problem with their music, but biopics are generally bad and they’re making one for each of them.

Yay, Biden isn’t at risk of losing your vote. Unfortunately, this isn’t at all remarkable. He is, however, at risk of losing independents who are/were leaning towards him.
This isn’t a big deal in places like Indiana or Maryland, but it’s a huge fucking deal in the handful of battleground states where the undecided voters will decide it for all of us.
The Vote Blue No Matter Who strategy is literally the dumbest shit and a losing one. It only targets people who are considering a protest vote, and not people who are genuinely trying to figure out who to vote for. It assumes that everyone sees the situation as clearly as you do, and that the only thing preventing a victory is if enough people don’t “fall in line”.
I will always maintain that blaming the electorate in an election for getting a bad result is like saying that the fans lost the ball game.
- Comment on What even is the point of delivery anymore 1 year ago:
Same. Pizza and Chinese food travel really well with simple packaging. Burgers and french fries, not so much.
