Will he be honoured by Israel by having his cum retrieved?

Easier to draw/animate, perhaps?

(Whispering) …Are women bourgois?

If it’s Gorka then my rookie card’s value is gonna SURGE.

No real objection. It was meant to be sarcasm but upon re-reading the post I’ve realized it actually sounds pretty bad and not so different from a reactionary take. I am sorry about that.

I like Mass Effect even though I have moral objections to fucking aliens.

When they fart low…

“Arguably.” Dems even feel the need to compromise with themselves.

I think it will depend on who was writing, who was producing, and when the series was produced. The Klingons have served as stand-ins for China, which inspired their original appearance. In the 6th movie, they clearly meant to represent a post-Chernobyl USSR, though the strength of the analogy is questionable.

My theory is that when the Klingons were brought back for Deep Space Nine’s 4th season, they were intended to represent the USA, whereas the Federation was now more analogous to the USSR. The Federation had largely eliminated class conflict, while the Klingons were still ruled by wealthy noble families. They Klingons couldn’t take a shit without talking about how brave and honourable they were, but they snuck around in cloaked ships, and showed no hesitation in killing civilians. When the Cardassian fascist military government fell and was replaced by a democratic assembly, the Klingons immediately declared war on them. Feels pretty American to me.

Where’s Cotton Eye Joe? I assumed he was a founding member.

Agreed. Especially considering that it was a bottle episode.

I mean, it’s a step up from the usual “Palestine = Voldemort” comparisons we get. I guess.

Makes me wonder if the owners saw this coming months ago, and the license fee fiasco was done on purpose to deflect responsibility?

The Jews are wallhacking?

I generally like games about teams of iconic characters who hit/shoot things to make numbers come out, and end up killing God. What can the Sega Saturn do for me?

“I won!”

“Yes, but you didn’t win beautifully.”

I think Mairghread Scott came out and said she’d privately discussed the issue with Simon Furman after this kerfuffle, and that they’d come to an understanding.

Depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go, I’d recommend the Talking Simpsons podcast. The hosts are quite based, and each of the Chapo boys has guested at least once.

Ah, pardon me, thanks for the correction.

I re-watched a lot of old Simpsons episodes recently, and I agree that there were a lot of problematic elements. But there are also a lot of strikingly insightful episodes, such as “Last Exit to Springfield,” which was one of the most engaging depictions of union/labour dynamics in popular media at the time. The union workers are depicted as lazy, incompetent, disorganized, and greedy, but they’re contrasted with Burns, who is explicitly shown to be downright evil.

A lot of it probably depended on who was writing a particular episode and what they could get past the producers, but there are episodes which I believe are worth defending.
