This is like when Jason Segel’s character in Forgetting Sarah Marshall doesn’t realize his Dracula musical is a comedy
Neal Katyal says he's working on a TV show that he describes as "The West Wing for the Supreme Court," and my question is, have We As A Society not suffered enough
A Brief History Of Awful TV Shows About the Supreme Court

Yeah, yeah, wolves using tools, it's all very interesting and opens up entirely new vistas of understanding canine intelligence.
But more importantly, this is poaching, and those wolves belong in jail.

This is unfair to The Clone Wars, which had some real high points
Nuzzi, like TCW, exists as a kind of simulacrum of the midcentury public intellectual. Not even ripping off the writers of that era, but imitating a sort of half-remembered, half-invented idea of what those writers were sort of like and what their general vibe was.

In the car on the way to daycare, my 4yo asked me what jail was like. I was describing it to her in general terms, but she honed in on the food. I said it was pretty normal but not very good. She expressed relief. “Okay, so it’s not, like, turning people into an octopus?”
