    For those out of the loop with Bluey, it’s a fucking amazing kids show. I really can’t compare it to anything that came before, the style, the music, topics that they cover (and even how they approach things). It’s truly a once in a lifetime show kinda like the original LOTR trilogy. Lola Sebastian just recently did a video touching on it and comparing it to the MAGA copycat, “The Mundane Misery of MAGA’s Bluey Copycat”. A good 2 hour video to put on for entertainment and get the gist of the show.

      Sleepytime makes me cry every time. The symbolism surrounding concepts of growing up, facing the future (or current) death of one’s mom / parent… the simple joys and quiet moments between parents and their kids and the orchestral arrangement and performance of Gustav Holst’s masterpiece classic suite “The Planets” is a moment of devastatingly bittersweet television perfection captured in a 7-minute episode of a children’s cartoon.

      I think of Bluey as a cartoon for parents that kids also like.

      The only thing in a similar vein is Phineas&Ferb, even if it’s a very different show. Everyone in my household, ages 5, 10, 11, 14, 39, and 43, were syched upon learning that there would be a new season.

      What the heck, MAGA needed to oppose Bluey? Maybe I haven’t watched enough but I don’t see it as particularly political. I guess it’s anti- “children should be seen and not heard” if that’s still a thing on the far right.

        I don’t think oppose is the right word

        I watched one episode of the copycat (tons of bluey though) and it’s more that they thought they could take it, slap on a conservative veneer and call it a day. It felt very soulless compared to the original

    You know, Bandit had the sense to eat the pizza instead of throwing it on the roof.

    Edit: Also, people actually like Chili. Can’t say the same for Skyler.

      The fact that people don’t like Skyler is intentional. At some point you’re supposed to ask “why am I cheering for the drug dealer over this woman”? That disconnect is a huge part of why the story is so engaging. They make you root for the bad guy over the good guys, even when you shouldn’t.

    Is this because Breaking Bad fans review bombed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? I saw that one of the new episodes outranked Ozymandias causing a mud slinging competition.

    The use of commas instead of periods to denote fractions is making me want to harm someone. What in the fuck are they teaching you in school nowadays.

          Freedom’d? Like the small children the USA bombed in Iran? Or the American troops killed in the retaliatory strikes?

            That is indeed the dark humor, if you can’t handle it, it’s a rough time to be reading the internet at all, most of us can’t do much other than laugh through the tears. If you want to just pick a fight, you won’t find it here and I suggest you use that energy for something more productive.

              I’m not American. You just kind of missed the mark with your version of “dark humour”. Mocking children being murdered is just kind of shitty.

                Okay I invite you to block me because again, a lot of people are going to be making dark jokes right now because it’s how we cope. I didn’t want any of this and I can’t stop it.

      I’m a convert. Comma is the larger symbol which should be used for the more significant delimiter. Comma for decimal, periods for thousands separator.

        I think the Swiss did it right: Apostrophe for the thousands, which is completely unambiguous, and no-one cares what you use for the decimal point, I mean, comma.
