Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Chappelle rumors denied.

Thrive to spite them

I finished watching Raising Hope! I had watched a couple of episodes but didn't really like it (the one where Hope gets stuck in the shed and another one) but after watching from the beginning I really like it. I especially like Virginia and Burt's relationship.

And the season finale was really fun, tying everything together and Drakkar Noir.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've now watched half of the first season of Archer. Including the "unaired pilot", where they redo the entire first episode with Archer replaced by a screeching velociraptor. The entire episode.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We're into the second season of Community. Whoever wrote the music for the space simulator episode is a genius.

The fact that they maintained a wide range of vocalisations kept me going with it for some time. And "JESUS CHRIST, he's got an erection!" is funny either way.

I think my favourite scene so far comes from "Killing Utne":

Malory: Well, what about the ground breaking work that Dr. Krieger is doing for ISIS in our Applied Research Division?
Pam: Yeah, tell him about the sex robot.
Malory: Yes, the.. what?
Krieger: I call him "Fister Roboto".

And then, after telling Utne to "Shut up! Shut up! Shut-- Shut--", he goes on to explain, very intensely, that the best part is that "he's learning."
