    This was the best part of my week, other than that miso wild rice soup I made. I also got to try my 🏴‍☠️ 🎩 back on.

        Yup. The creators just made a $1.5 billion deal for streaming rights. I wouldn’t worry about it.

            Omg, Lemmy reply too so I’ll be in the pic when someone screenshots my og comment as prophecy!

            But yeah, unfortunately the famous DSC (Mrs Dirty Slutty Couch, a character with a southern accent, over the top sexed up, vary easy to s sit on) that was later featured in two movies won’t come to prominence until late 20s (at the time making satire and social comment of the third coup of the year, this time prompted by Vance appointing a literal couch as ‘head of congress’, a bold move after already introducing to the media The First Couch that lives in the White House).

      No, def not every imho (they never had long arcs & joke repetition was only in the early episodes iirc), they are doing however an arc & the new romantic couple will def be features more.
      So 3 to 5 more episodes of this I would say? Tho they could conclude it all next episode too & later only have background references.
      (The ez material is def there.)

      I actually missed/expected a few more jokes (I had high hopes bcs this is the new Saddam - I’ve seen the image with Satan & I was hyped moments before watching the episode) & even more plot, but it seems they only generally set up the new situation & chars in the first episode.
      Also it was fairly light (no directly dark stuff), that I thought was automatic with Trump.

      Also from the article:

      Earlier on Thursday, the FCC approved Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount Global, clearing the way for that merger after Skydance agreed to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and install a watchdog over CBS News. That was on top of the $16 million Paramount paid Trump over the CBS News lawsuit, and the additional $16 million that Trump has said Skydance agreed to pay via those “public service announcements.”

        Way to bury the lede. "Liberterians with buyers remorse draw animated prick on animated prick. Oh btw there’s an official from minitrue effectively in charge of what can be shown on one of the 3-4 major American broadcast networks. "

          Liberterians[sic] with buyers remorse draw animated prick on animated prick.

          I do think there should be a conversation about how South Park did normalize a lot of fucked up shit. I think it is entirely reasonable to argue that it normalized antisemitism and queer phobia in some ways - it taught a lot of twelve year olds that calling someone a “Jew” or a “fagg~t” was inherently funny.

          Sorta like how on /b/ - the racism and homophobia was mostly joking originally (I’m talking like pre-2010). Taking it seriously/too far would get mocked. But:

          Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company. (No attribution)

          I love South Park, but their episode on trans people was just shitty and dehumanizing, and it gave people permission to parrot that kind of rhetoric. There’s a difference between being edgy and offensive, and saying the kinds of things that end up actually getting people hurt. South Park has always been at its best when it punched up (as in this episode).

    Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

    https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/black-book-unredacted.pdf (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80

    Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

    I mean technically a “penis” that small isn’t a penis. So there’s nothing to blur out. Also let’s think business like Trump supposedly does, why would you spend time and resources on something so small? Not worth the cost. We need to conserve time and money.
