I hadn't read the credits because, well, I was scared.

Neither my favorite British humorist (deceased) nor my favorite British humorist (living as of this post) contributed to s3 of Good Omens.

I feel a little better, knowing that, about my complete absolution from ever having to give a shit. It's credited to the rat bastard and some people I have never heard of, who may well have done excellent work, but I do not need to care, tra la.

Every time I see "USA 250" merch, I think, in the tones of Roger Allam, "You’re going to meet the King of Liechtenstein wearing a medal you got for being alive in the year 2000!" [citation] And now I don't even feel bad about it.

Dear Mr Finnemore,

I don't know whose choice it was that you didn't return, but thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

I was in a denial place. If he had participated, I didn’t want to know. My sense of him is better than that, but ultimately I don’t know what his constraints and limitations were. And anyway, he wouldn’t be the first artist who disappointed me. You make your peace with it or you don’t.

But I am very glad I don’t have to have that complicated web of feelings about him—or at least not yet!

When I see the America 250 stuff, I just remind myself that all young kids love celebrating their birthday!! So it's cute that America, who is turning 250, gets to make a big deal out of this one. Even if I am not buying any of the merch myself.

It does remind me how sad I am that I can't just..be proud of my country. How sad that we have such a momentous number to celebrate and we have such an asshat ruining everything for everyone, and thus I don't want to celebrate. And the people who voted for him.
