The zionists are high on their own supply of Six-Day War nostalgia. In 1967 the Israeli government wasn't fighting against forces with cheap high-precision ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones in mass quantities.

That show aged really well. Explicitly calling out real-world American government shit like Gladio, Operation Paperclip, Iran-Contra, etc. Mixing up the setting every few years to refresh the well of jokes. A refreshing lack of homophobia and transphobia, which was all too common in other animated adult stuff from the late 2000s. I'm still a fan.

Serious answer: a Roger Corman biopic. Made on a Roger Corman budget, by Roger Corman's longest-term friends and colleagues. A love letter to his work in the spirt of his work.

Joke answer: a G-rated Peter North biopic.

The Empire will never, ever forgive him for how he and his colleagues helped destroy the Iraq and Afghanistan war narratives.

A cousin introduced me to it a month back. I was sold on it by the end of the very first scene. It's my kind of crazy. He's always had great taste in entertainment.

I actually only learned about Hazbin Hotel after watching Helluva Boss. Frankly I'm not as big a fan of Hazbin Hotel so far. I like the style and the story and the characters, but I really don't enjoy musicals.

This has apparently been around for awhile but I just recently heard about it. Universal Paperclips, a game based on the paperclip maximizer artificial-intelligence thought experiment. It starts out like a clicker game but rapidly veers into deep social commentary.

My attitude towards American presidential politics, being both a non-American who can't vote and as someone who sees both parties as capital's servants, is that the only value of an American presidential election is entertainment. I want to see an election play out like a good episode of Archer - just all kinds of crazy shit that makes people lose their minds and do even crazier shit. I want an election like a John Waters movie. I want an election like a Joseph Heller novel. I want an election that wallows in the depths of sleaze that would make Charles Bukowski say "hey, let's tone it down!" I want an election so lurid that it makes a Traci Lords biopic look like A Charlie Brown Christmas. I want an election so depraved that Kevin Spacey pops his head up to say in sincere horror "jesus christ, what the fuck?"

And having the fucking Teamsters president doing a speech to Trump's base is definitely in that category. I totally approve.

Oh my goodness yes! I can't believe I forgot that one.

The limited text space may make it tricky. I can't just keep listing all the fandoms that basically guarantee that I and the other person wouldn't hit it off, the list would be huge. I need to figure out some pithy line to sum it all up.

You can have my dating apps when you pry them from my warm, sticky fingers.

The bank accounts that never have savings because young British adults are paid poverty wages as the norm, and the drivers licenses for cars they can't afford to buy and maintain?

Jimmy Dore

I've never been sure if he was always a secret grifter from the start, or if his brain just broke at some point.
