in honor of Kirby day, this page from THE HUNGER DOGS really nails something he had down better than almost anybody. When he drew something, it was the most important and impactful thing happening in the universe at that moment. The sickest riff possible being played the loudest and best.

You might wonder why I am posting so much about the The Shield (2002). Well, it's because I just finished The Shield (2002) and I love The Shield (2002), even in 2025, when every character on The Shield (2002) would be canceled off of Al Gore's internet and directly into orbit.
hplovescats (@hplovescats.bsky.social) reply parent
While I know it's a good show, I didn't include the Sopranos because Tony Soprano and all the other gangsters make my teeth itch. Maybe there's another reason, but I hope that "I don't personally like the characters, even though the show is good" is enough for my tens of followers.
hplovescats (@hplovescats.bsky.social) reply parent
I understand that some of these shows are actually more popular than The Shield (at least within the core Bluesky demographic of 35-50yo male DS9 watchers), but it must be said.

'Pancakes, Divorce, Pancakes' is an easy contender for the greatest episode of comedy television ever made. Two forms of pointless suffering mirrored back and forth until they become the same image, all driven by a smirking sadist with no real motivation but amusement.

One of the biggest blunders (when well-intentioned) and betrayals (when not) in Democratic rhetoric over the years is their impenetrable insistence that what voters respond to is somebody who begins by finding common ground with their opponent, no matter who that opponent is or what that ground is.

I can't speak for Cuban, but he couldn't do this even if he wanted to, because even he has to answer for his corporate decisions, and there are investors who view any concession away from short term profits as a betrayal. We must rethink the relationship between the corporation and the common good.
