ROWSDOWER!!!
Oh I know, thankfully the Gizmoplex helpfully lists which episodes are missing when you browse by season.
Not even middle America.
I grew up in Eastern Washington state, a place with a lot of farms and farmers. Due to that also a lot of immigrant labor.
I grew up in the “progressive” Pacific Northwest with lots of local businesses that had “English Only” signs, making clear to immigrants that they’re not really welcome in such establishments. It hasn’t really gotten better.
While I know we all love dunking on the dipshit Musk… the data from Open Secrets isn’t exactly compelling that these people deeply materially support Harris over Trump. So they’ve spent a bit more donating to Harris… the amounts are honestly a drop in the bucket compared to the full budgets of these campaigns and I’m like 90% sure that a number of them are donating to SuperPACs instead so they can donate beyond their max individual contribution. So, personal opinion, misleading and not necessarily indicative of anything at all, as much as I would love to guffaw and point to it as more evidence that Musk is out of touch with even his own workforce.
You know they won’t.
they seem to be betting that enough American voters in enough swing states agree that it would be better to be broke than integrated.
That’s sadly not a bad bet to be making. It could easily pan out for them.
I didn’t initially link the Gizmoplex, because I thought it cost money to access old episodes too, but it looks like you might just need to make a Gizmoplex account to get access to old episodes.

Honestly, it would be the primary place to go for it all, because it’s through Joel and his company now that he retains the rights again. So the money is going to good people.
If you can afford it, Joel owns all the rights these days, and you can get access to the high quality full catalog at Joel’s home for MST3K since Netflix dropped them and they released Season 13 on their own:

The Gizmoplex! It’s very sad that they weren’t able to crowdfund enough for a Season 14, but post-COVID and high inflation, it’s been tough for everyone. I feel lucky for the new seasons we got.
Anywho, almost everything is available there, except for a handful that refuse to re-sign the rights to MST3K, for instance Final Sacrifice I think is tied up in rights limbo and you can only watch it through illicit less-than-legal means. Is it cheap? By all means no! It is worth it? By all means yes!
EDIT: Actually it looks like you can watch classic episodes for free as long as you make a Gizmoplex account? I haven’t been back to the site lately until now.
The best I can do right now is point you to is this big archive of stuff from… archive.org. They’ve got most of the KTMA years and a bunch of seasons 1-4.
https://archive.org/details/mst-3-k-s-02-e-09-hellcats_202206
Ignore the weird name of the link, it’s a big playlist of files. You can also find other “lost episodes” on archive.org by searching something like “mst3k archive.org”
EDIT: For anyone else, you can also find them at Joel’s Gizmoplex website, and it looks like you can watch Seasons 1-10 by just making an account.

Yeah, the description of Jeffries crawling out of an air vent made me think of it. Tooms.
It’s totally cool to be that guy because it means we get to share fun things with you and considering how old this is, it’s exciting because we don’t often get to share it as new and fresh with other folks. Feel good about being the ‘Who’s thaaaaaaaat?’ guy!
Vote!!!
…and then have lawfare ratfuckery and the Supremes hand it to Trump anyway…
We gotta be doing way more than just fucking voting. They sure are.
We need to be standing vigilant protecting election workers and the process, too.
Kind of like being legally obligated to mention getting “Bikini Killed” in Million Eyes of Sumuru
What’s to apologize for!?
The most sinister part of the chaos that Trump brews, honestly, is the deep apathy and antipathy towards politics that seems pervasive in society. Everyone was already tired by capitalism, but post-COVID the grind and the demand has spun ever higher while Trump keeps orchestrating chaos from, well, not even the fucking shadows but more like the toilet at Mar-a-Lago.
It breaks a lot of people, and its fair, they’re just scraping by, worrying about their own. They have their own serious problems, medical issues, sorrow, loss, you name it, people are suffering. It’s validly hard for anyone to find the time for it and they become disconnected and disoriented.
It’s fucking maddening that it works. It feels like humanity never actually left the dark ages.
Anyway, quality Mother Jones article, good breakdown on why a lot of people’s memory of the past seems to forget the worst excesses. Explains a lot about the Bush administration, too, really.
Never too late to share information. Thanks, I hadn’t heard of the term!
Also Jeffrey Co(o)mbs:
Combination Truck Bed Tanning Bed?
I mean, hasn’t it been pretty clear for at least a year now that this is the plan.
They have no other plan, they are just letting Trump go down in flames acting like a fucking idiot because they know they don’t plan on not contesting anything. From here on out, every election is going to be lawfared to death (if there even is a real one after this).
I’ve lived all over the country, and that distinction means nothing to anyone outside of the Northwest. Sure, it’s correct to call it that, if you’re being real pedantic, but if you go down South for instance, “Pacific Northwest” means Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and they still consider that region a whole lot more liberal than it actually is.
Secondly, having also lived on the west side of the Cascades… that’s less of a distinction than really matters. Like everywhere, it’s actually the cities that matter, and outside the cities its as racist and backward as anywhere else.
So I feel pretty confident in calling that the Pacific Northwest in what most average Americans would think of when they considered it. Not to say most Americans suck at geology and geography (that’s actually exactly what I’m saying) but I wouldn’t think most would be able to point to the Cascades on a map, let alone understand the distinction between the two.
So you’re correct in your quibbling, but also in the context of my response to OP, we’re talking about a reluctance to call middle America what it is: racist. I would think quibbling about saying “we already knew demographically that they’re not progressive” kind of misses that point.
