  • I agree with almost all those choices but I never finished any of those series so didn’t put them on.

    Severance is the only one on there I disagree with. They may stick the landing, but imho I highly suspect they’ve fully jumped the shark and are in the “oh fuck, we didn’t actually plan for it to go on this long” part of a mystery box. I suspect it will just waste time for like another 2-3 seasons then suddenly end while not answering half the questions from the early seasons … like virtually all of mystery boxes that aren’t Dark do.


    • The Simpsons 2-9
    • It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia
    • Curb Your Enthusiasm

    All because of their fantastic comedy writing: nuanced, layered jokes, with satisfying stories, characters and plots which leads to endless rewatchability.

    • Community
    • Atlanta

    For being weird experimental extremely well written comedies. Rick and Morty’s early seasons might make it on this list but I haven’t gone back in a while.

    • Breaking Bad
    • The Expanse

    For being long serious satisfying dramas with great characters and writing.

    • Dark

    Get a special shout-out for being one of the only mystery box shows I’ve ever seen that sticks the landing.

    • Arrested Development 1-3
    • Parks and Rec
    • 30 Rock
    • The Office

    All get shout outs for being great comedies, if not quite at the tier of the above.







  • I haven’t heard of people doing that in quite the context you mean, but there’s long been stories and parables about how humans shouldn’t play god, and the lesson almost always ends with our creations running amok against us.

    It has nothing to do with AI, but there is a Christian movement called “red letter Christians”, who use Bibles where Jesus’s words are written in red to distinguish them from stuff said by other people, and is generally used to point out how much more loving and caring Jesus was then most right wing Christians today.









  • You know what absolutely did not convince Trump to keep supporting Ukraine? This stupid ass fucking tweet.

    You literally don’t know that. Lots of people have accused Mark Rutte of pandering to Trump, but from all reporting it’s worked because Trump is actually that vane. Reminding him that one of his closest supporters vehemently supported Ukraine has a chance of moving the needle.

    Also, guess what. Carney doesn’t need Lindsey Graham’s vote or Donald Trump’s vote to keep his position. He needs our votes, so maybe praising someone who wanted the USA to invade Canada is actually really stupid politics.

    Lmfao “why isn’t carney pandering to us, we’re the reactionarily outraged!”

    I think you’re confusing him for PP, Carney is the one who behaves like an adult.
