Kyle

The new Rick and Morty episode came out for season 5. Nimbus says he likes his other helper, "Kyle". Kyle is a blob from "The Ricks Must Be Crazy" (S2E6).

And what is with this new TV room?

Someone wrote: 

"Rick got nerfed, he was beaten almost dead in the intro, acted like a submissive schmuck throughout, morty/summer were the badasses, and beth/jerry got to swing, all topped off with Rick getting the shit kicked out of him again and carted off by the police. Dr. Wong specialty is treating people who eat shit. If you ever stop to wonder why, and you liked this episode, and want more of this, go find a mirror. Harmon and co, have created an entire tv show which mocks it's audience relentlessly through the guise of previously all powerful Rick who's contempt for literally everyone in the entire universe is only matched by the creators of Rick and Morty's contempt for us their audience."


There's a little bit of a spoof of Shakespeare's histories in the Hoovy story, I think. People keep killing each other and the guy kills his father, and takes over, and like the second after that, he's killed, and the next guy is monologuing.

Democracy or democrazy?

Admittedly the choice between corrupt democrats and corrupt republicans isn't the political choice I want. I'd rather vote my way towards fairness, elimination of poverty, anti-trust laws that fight the consolidation of corporations (you read about grocery stores lately?), education, infrastructure. What you do get is a vote for democrats that vote to end rail strikes ( source ) because they can't carve out of the profits a sick leave, versus reality denying, Russian bought, obstructionists who might lower taxes, and want smaller government. The Ron Swanson's of the world who hate government and work in government. I've been running into people who believe the corrupt choices aren't worth even making. Reasons not to pay attention.I've thought that a few times in my life, but I don't think that now.  There are real choices about health care for women, and even just an attitude towards democracy. It's hard to fight past the rhetoric, and understand eve

Consent

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides  Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher. I'm not sure if  Gabriel Matzneff will be remembered for other things. At least not on this side of the pond. I do have a kind of jealousy for the appreciation of the intellectual life in France.  Matzneff cites Lewis Carroll , and others as having the appreciation for youth. I read his Wikipedia page. That led to other questions about photographers who take pictures of their children. That led me down a creepy path. As much as Springora tries to not make it sexy, I wonder how many
