Serious question: has American Dad been good at any point past its 9th or 10th season? I loved the show up until it moved to TBS, which is apparently around the time one of the showrunners left, but after that the quality drop was very noticeable. I think being on basic cable hurt them because they didn’t have to come up with creative ways to say obscene and vulgar things, they could just say the things. I think the censorship of network tv was making the show funnier.

good to know, I realize now it’s been quite a few years since I’ve used it and I didn’t know that

The best way to see them all for free is annualcreditreport.com. It’s jointly operated by Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion to comply with some federal law that says they each have to give you a free report every year. You only get one of each annually, so if you want to keep tabs on your credit more frequently you can get one now from Experian, wait four months, get one from Equifax, wait four months, get one from TransUnion and repeat.

To be clear, this is the app you’d use on a macbook or imac or whatever they call their desktop computers these days. It’s not the app for iphone or ipad

To me, Biden seemed certain to lose, while with Kamala it could go either way. In no way is she a worse candidate than Biden. I think we should all be deeply invested in Kamala winning the election. Not because I want to see Trump lose, though I do. Not because I want to see Kamala win, which I don’t really. What I want, what I think we all want, is to see Hillary Clinton looking on as another woman becomes the first woman president. Not just that, I want to see Kamala win easily, just to make it clear to Hillary that she, personally, was the problem in 2016. No one thinks Kamala is an impressive candidate, so if her mediocre ass beats Trump with a comfortable margin, it’ll more or less settle the argument as to who was responsible for Trump’s victory.

To be clear, I haven’t lost sight of the fact that a Harris presidency would basically just be the Biden presidency with more awkward laughter. We’re not going to get a good president this time around, or maybe ever. I’m aware that I’m doing something similar to the republican rank-and-file who know their candidates won’t do anything to help them, but will at least make the people they don’t like suffer. We should all be protesting, agitating, and organizing for something better, but with the understanding that organizing is almost certainly not getting us a better candidate this cycle, let’s try and find joy where we can. In this case, in schadenfreude.

it’s wild how quickly it lost me. I knew exactly what type of corporate product it would be, but the trailers made it look visually interesting, funny (the beach-off joke made me laugh ), and the whole idea of the Kens discovering patriarchy in the real world was pretty solid. 20 minutes in I was bored and couldn’t wait for it to be over.

Make other characters look straight to the camera and say “wow Witt is so witty, and smart and cunning”

barely related, but my favorite moment from Wonder Woman 1984 is when Diana Wonder Woman and Kristen Wiig Cat Lady go out for drinks and get to know each other. The scene begins with Diana Wonder Woman laughing at something we the audience didn’t get to hear, says to Cat Lady, “you’re so funny 😂,” and the scene moves on. Like, you’ve got talented comedienne Kristen Wiig in your movie and you’re establishing her character, and the writer (writers? I’m not looking it up) couldn’t come up with a single funny thing for her to say? The entire movie is inept on every possible level but for some reason, that moment of ineptitude is the one that lodged itself in my brain.
