      I thought the depression rumor was debunked? Somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Robin get a dementia diagnosis, and thus chose to go out on his own terms, rather than slowly rot away?

        Half right - he did battle depression his entire life, and he was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson’s not too long before committing suicide. There’s really no way to prove which one influenced his decision more, but it was likely because of both.

        If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.

        RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

          It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.

          Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.

          It was Lewy Body Dementia, I remember because my grandma had it. It’s non-hereditary thankfully, but just as debilitating as Alzheimer’s.

    Andy Dwyer was the Jack black of parks and rec. shame Chris Pratt didn’t embrace that character type. One of my most favourite roles he’s ever done.

        I dunno, that limp spined shit earlier this year (or was it last year now?) kinda killed any love I felt for Jack Black. He became an avatar of the “we need to be better persons and treat the rising fascist movement with the same respect and legitimacy as any other political movement” that the Democrats were following until Harris finally started running a real campaign against Trump.

        Ironically enough, his considering ending Tenacious D out loud over that comment killed off the part of me that was upset he’d end Tenacious D over that comment.

        Though I am curious if he came to regret speaking out about that and how quickly he got there.

        People are mad because he denounced Gass when Gass made comments regarding Trump’s would be assassin missing, but security at concerts are trash and it’s reasonable the the both of them could be shot by a Trump supporter.

            That’s not their only tour stop or do you expect the two to apply for citizenship? Also, Trump in an international cult leader at this point. Someone could cobble together a zipgun anywhere and sneak it close.

          Made comments? He blew out a candle and wished for them not to miss Trump with a bullet. Literally calling for the death of someone else. Wishing death on anyone is a pretty shit thing to do.

              Why not having them locked up and prosecuted? All those rabid MAGAs calling for death and destruction are deranged, I think we agree. Who gets to decide when it’s appropriate to assassinate politicians in our democracy?

                When they’re inches away from regaining the highest office in the country, pretty much anyone, because it clearly won’t be the people who’s job it is. Who talk endlessly about how he’s a very real threat to the very fabric of our country, then do fuck all to protect their citizens, allowing years to pass before his very public and overt crimes are even addressed.

                No. Jack O’Neill shot Apophis in the face like 4 times. Luke Skywalker ended Darth Vader’s reign. Captain Janeway demolished the Borg. Biden and Garland allowed a domestic terrorist and real-life cartoon villain to campaign for president, and he may actually win. Fuck. That. At this point I don’t give a flying fuck how “complex” real life is. He needs to go, just like Apophis.

            Yes, that’s what happened. But we’re not talking about Gass, we’re talking about Jack Black and his reaction to that which was cancelling the tour.

            Which in my opinoin was a perfectly reasonable response given the recent attempt on Trump’s life, as well as the threats that had already been made about specific Taylor Swift concerts.

            I can’t even imagine the amount of death and rape threats that they and their families received after those comments. Imagine leaving for a world tour amidst that.

            I guess fuck him for not wanting his fans to get shot up at a concert by some psychopath.

      I mean if i was kyle gass id tell jack black to go fuck himself. He made a big fit over a simple joke when his whole shtick(before being a literal clown for Disney™) was being an ‘edgy’ comedian who writes songs that are supposed to be offensive.

        Lots of times when me and KG are watching

        All the fucking shit that goes down at City Hall

        We get the feeling we should fuck shit up

        Yeah, we should fucking start a riot

        A riot!

        And the song continues to tell about the destruction of the government, with the implication that previous leaders are dead. It’s obviously a joke song, and when KG made the joke on stage it should have been taken just the same, but Hollywood Jack stepped in and thought about all of the movie deals he was gonna miss out on… like fucking Minecraft… Yeah. I love Jack, and I wish him the best, but I am on KG’s side, and if they haven’t fixed this shit on a personal level, and Kage comes out with some shit about Jack sucking, I’m gonna wave goodbye to the D.

          Calling for death, even as a joke, is deplorable. And in Trumps case, dangerous. It’s one thing to make this joke with a couple of friends, it’s entirely another when the entire country sees it - both the crazies that would do it, or the crazies that would shoot them for it.

          The timing was a big factor too, it was like only a day or so after the attempt and while everyone was trying to calm down the situation and condemn the assassination attempt so as not to incite any other people for doing the same or reaction to the attempt, and then he goes and says that, it was very against the grain of the moment.
          Bit of a [tragedy+time=comedy] but the time hadnt passed yet so the edge was too sharp

      Apparently when KG was blowing out his birthday candles on stage they asked him to make a wish, and he said “Don’t miss Trump next time”. JB is working on his clean image and stepped away, I don’t think they have any beef tbh, but the D is on hold atm. source
