...I spent my evening getting high on my balcony while listening to the audiobook for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. I'm gonna go ahead and recommend that for everyone.

It's narrated by Harry Lloyd.

Sir, are you suggesting we nuke the coons?

I can hear the thunder from the hurricoons a mile away.

So I just learned about Cerebus Syndrome and how it's "destroying" new cartoon shows.

 

[Teelie]

It does seem to be an increasingly common trope lately.

I had to look it up to see what it is....it derives from the comic CEREBUS THE AARDVARK.....I used to read them, but don't remember them turning dark....maybe I quit reading before that happened.

Dave Simms went off the deep end a looooooooong time ago.

Once the poster child for how a fiercely independent voice can make a success of it inspiring other creators and setting himself a goal of telling a "life" story in the medium of comic books, he revealed not just a run of the mill "distasteful" torrent of opinions but really to my mind a psychotic mind, one detached from reality on some level.

Never heard of it, but I just looked it up. The examples on TV Tropes of animated shows that are "guilty" of it that I've seen (Avatar, Korra, Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels) all got BETTER to me in their later seasons, largely for the reasons they claim to be the problem, so I can't really bring myself to see it as a bad thing, or something that's "destroying" good shows. But those weren't comedies, and I haven't regularly watched any of the animated comedies they apply it to, so maybe it's more of an issue in that context, idk.

I think Adventure Time and Steven Universe are more guilty of it.

 

[Teelie]

Tropes aren't always a bad thing but sometimes the bandwagon does get a little overloaded...

I agree, Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels should definitely portray Dunk and Egg.

One of my aunts passed away a couple days ago from a rare disease called Calciphylaxis, a while after having to go on dialysis and have her leg amputated due to that and complications from diabetes which she's been very unwell with for quite a while.

Today I found out her husband (who was abusive and unfaithful and generally a POS) was out playing pool the night she died.

My mom is boycotting both the funeral and any graveside service because she never wants to see him again in her life.
