In defence of 2017

[elisi]

So, 2016 was a nightmare, and 2017 continues to get progressively worse.

However.

Happened to be watching Dave, which was showing an episode of Mock the Week from 2012. Cue SEVEN straight white male comedians. With the jokes to match.

Some things are getting better.

Also marriage equality in Aus and young trans people can now transition without having to go to court here

I'll consider that Christmas has come early if Net Neutrality doesn't get repealed, and the Republicans' fucked up tax plan gets defeated.

[elisi]

Um. Half of those be OK?

[masakochan]

Not really- since both of them would massively fuck over every non-rich person on a global-wide scale. x_x

It was the fact that the tax bill is so very near to coming into effect... :(

I have noticed the same thing. And, although I am sure many see this as heresy, I prefer QI with Sandi Toksvig, too.
