Noam Chomsky made it very clear that he was a scumbag when he denied the Khmer Rouge genocide back in the 1970s: if you’ve been trying to deny the obvious about him ever since, well, that’s on you.

After 7 episodes my opinion on Pluribus hasn’t changed
It’s a very fun, very well written, incredibly well acted take on a bunch of sci-fi tropes we’ve already seen a gazillion times. It isn’t really introducing anything groundbreaking to the genre but still well worth watching and I like it a lot

Ok so this is gonna be an unpopular opinion but I’ve watched the first 3 episodes of Pluribus and I thought it was…fine! It’s pretty derivative of a lot of other sci-fi and definitely doesn’t feel groundbreaking to me (like, say, Severance does). But I enjoyed it and I’ll keep watching.

This brooding London outfit’s Which Direction Goes The Beam was one of the most criminally unheralded albums of the year: a sprawling, uneasy bridge between Unwound-esque post-hardore, driven kraut, and the gripping darker folk fringes.
