15x04: The Gang Replaces Dee With a Monkey

[knittinglizards]

i am enjoying that they're giving dee a lot of ridiculous power play/predatory plots that would have been typical of dennis in earlier seasons for twin/foils who hate each other reasons and negative character development reasons

that felt retcon-ish as all prior mentions of these guys' time in high school and shortly after/uni for the twins made it sound like an all around pathetic and miserable time but it was nice to see the guys being nice to dee for once

the roller rink one is making me sad not bc of the actual episode but bc it's reminding me of the one i went to as a kid that closed when i was in high school :(

if you want to create but feel intimidated and overwhelmed, you're forgetting something: good art doesn't exist. all art is terrible. every story and song and movie and picture is worse than the one before it and all artists should be in prisom

all of the 'oops we did blackface sorry!' apologia in it aside making the last lethal weapon episode about the production rather than just presenting it with framing bits is doing a lot towards making it funny

(about to be that guy) i have found most made-during-or-right-after-lockdown narrative media About covid that i've engaged at all with cringey and stinking of not particularly thinking about the people most affected by it BUT! knowing ahead of time that sunny had done some i had been very curious about like degrees of caution as characterization and am NOT surprised to see mac and dennis outside but in a reasonable sized crowd summer of 2020 unmasked

Israel receives significant military and financial support from the United States and its allies, including advanced weapons, defense systems, and billions of dollars in annual financial aid.

Despite its isolation among some Arab countries, Israel has succeeded in building alliances with other countries, such as some of the Gulf statesm helping it strengthen its influence in the SWANA region.

Following Israel's deceptive action of breaking the ceasefire, more Palestinians are being murdered by the hundreds.

Please take your time to donate to Ibrahim and Nadeer's campaign, who has to live with constant bombardment from the merciless Zionists.

Ibrahim: €66,286/€80,000

Nader: €10,936/€50,000

overt waiting for godot-reference title feels appropriate at this point in the series w how directly the plots and to a certain extent the dialogue talks about how they're all treading water talking about/trying to Do Anything and immediately shooting themselves (and/or each other) in the foot and ending up right where they started if not in a slightly worse version of it

i really hate coming out but still want my extended family to know, so my mother took it upon herself to invent the game “guess which one of my kids is gay.”

the rules are simple.

sit down with uncle so-and-so

he says something about gay people in passing

my mom says “there’s a gay person at this table right now. guess which of my kids it is!

he looks frantically between the three of us trying to figure out if she’s joking or not and trying desperately not to offend anyone but also she won’t continue with the conversation unless he makes a guess so he has to make a guess

we all enjoy his discomfort immensely

One aspect of DS9 that doesn't get discussed often is how it actually discusses the history of racism and the lasting effects that still has on future generations existing well past the end of that discrimination. It shows how some people will not care much that historical aesthetics come from a time period deeply entrenched in oppression while others are deeply uncomfortable with the entire prospect of playing pretend in a faux historical setting that never existed.

A lot of Racism is Over Now settings like to either show a black man being blatantly racist to some fantastical being to illustrate how the times have changed or just pretends that the entire generational baggage of racism would simply disappear. Deep Space 9 is one of the few shows I can think of that actually discusses what the lasting impacts of our deeply racist society would mean in a post scarcity world.
