Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

We’re not going back!

The republican caucus is already covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Optimism opens the door to great things.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Cole is on a roll !

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

Happy indictment week to all who celebrate!

I did not have this on my fuck 2022 bingo card.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

As long as McCarthy is Speaker, the House will never be in order.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

… What is this totally inexplicable stirring in my loins?, wonders Tucker…

I would not only watch that sitcom, I’d pitch in on the Kickstarter bid!


If BTS is good enough for the Grammys (not to mention their White House visit!), they’re good enough…

    courtesy of Netflix, I can endorse both Inspector Koo and Extraordinary Attorney Woo, If they can do that kind of engaging media and stories, then I will have to sample more….

    I listen to a lot of female K-pop groups and it always makes me feel like a hype man when I sing along only with the random English words. I don’t mind not understanding the lyrics because a lot of the beats are just so infectious and fun. Right now, aespa is probably my fave.

    @M: Thank you!

    Yeah, I should’ve included more information about that, but in my defense, I’m working on two other posts for tomorrow morning…

    I’ve become remarkably fixated on K-drama and can also endorse Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Little Women (so not the same plot as Alcott’s).  Besides the great production values and many female-centered plots, I love that I can’t always anticipate how people will act, because I don’t know the culture.   It’s nice to be surprised.

    Iris. The first one only (the series, NOT the movies). Fine, tense, globe-spanning Korean espionage thriller, though unfortunately punctuated with sudden shifts to really gooey. sappy romance (and just as suddenly back again). First episode is totally deceiving, giving no hint of what’s to come.

    I just got home from seeing The Glorious Sons in Asbury Park and they absolutely slayed. Hands down one of the best rock bands around.

    Oh, we all know…  You’re still a repulsive person, Tucker, but those feelings are ok.

    Methinks Tucker’s Swedish Ball Tanner will be humming away right now.

    Take that however you like.

    I can read Korean, with the minor quibble that I have no idea what any of the words mean. This is because the Korean writing system is one of the most sensible on the planet. After millennia of stumbling along with random collections of glyphs descended from some proto-Canaanite original, it took someone in Korea to finally say “wait a minute, what if we are systematic about these shapes and the way they’re put together into syllables and words…”

    I don’t mean to be dense, but I haven’t the foggiest notion what this thread is about, let alone what any of it has to do with Tucker Carlson.

    The older I get, the less I understand pop culture. I guess that’s the way it’s supposed to be.

    @SiubhanDuinne: Me too.  This must be what those kids on my lawn are listening to on their recorded music machines.  Back in my day we listened to bad music and liked it!

    @SiubhanDuinne: latter day Beatles known also for choreographed performances enter mandatory military service, with hoopla greater than when Elvis did it.

    Tucker has a homoerotic denial behavior; this clip his several of his triggers based on past venomous screeds.

    And were he not such a well-followed voice of hatred I’d feel some sympathy for the mental pain he displays in these situations.

    @NotMax: That’s right.  That’s why we sometimes used a hire a barber shop quartet to sing ballads while we enjoyed a picnic in the park.  Kids these days have it easy!

    @Tony G: As for Tucker — he really needs to spend more time in gay bars while wearing a disguise, in order to relieve some of his tension.  (As if he’s not doing that already.)

    Navillera

    @NotMax: It’s really common to have multiple story lines in kdrama.  My personal favorite show is Oh My Ghost which is no longer available on Netflix (the Thai version is still available but the original Korean is not – Thai is still good though).  This is a love story, a friendship story, and a crime mystery all in the same show and it somehow works.

    @lahke: me too! I’m currently watching Nevertheless and have The Sound of Magic and Hotel De Luna on the list. Highly recommend Crash Landing on You and Mr. Sunshine. All on Netflix. And if you’ve gone over the deep end subscribe to Viki where you can watch Healer and Goblin

    Thanks for the reminder about Reply 1988. Highly Recommended
