The brain damage I’ll suffer from shaking my damn head so much over the next 4 years is going to be severe. This shit show is so ridiculous, if saw it in a movie I’d consider it bad writing.

It may be real life, but it’s still bad writing and we’re being forced to watch it. Like Clockwork Orange.

Same! Watching those awful movies was very much worth it because of the commentary.

There are three live streams on YouTube (one that will run through Thanksgiving, one devoted to episodes in space only, and a third just because) all with comments threads so we can riff together.

IIRC Clockwork Orange was a must see when I was studying film Kay-EI, since you mentioned it here, I’m going to compare and contrast to the current epoch thanks!!

Wasn’t Beethoven’s 9th Symphony featured in Clockwork? Great film

That is one great idea!!! Both are dystopian and totally out of sane control. Winner!

This is “God’s Plan”? Paraphrasing the late great George Carlin, this doesn’t seem like it’s the work of an all-knowing, all powerful loving and benevolent being. It’s more like the work of an incompetent office temp with a bad attitude.

Yes, we could use his humor right now and it would e a gem to listen to his thoughts on this shit show.

No one can compare to George Carlin. Master wordsmith. I can never think of him without laughing about his talk covering the meaning of "down the tubes"!

I’ve had to stop banging my head against the wall, over the invincible ignorance, for the same reason Jodi!
