Little did you know that John Oliver's love of mascots is actually rooted in a deep-seeded love of all things Japanese. Last season was to get you used to the idea, leading you to this episode where he ties it to Japan.
Next week, the last segment will be about how amazing anime is.
I bet you he already has a Stand name picked out and is currently working on a Boingo\Oliver ending theme and animation.

Fuck Joe Manchin
I'm starting to think that John Oliver is actually an agent of the Queen of England whose mission is to make Americans so fucking disgusted with the state of their country that we as a populace demand to part of the United Kingdom.

except the UK isn't any better currently.
The UK still has the NHS, and same sex marriage is available for a greater proportion of UK citizens than US citizens. For the moment, it's still better.
(But give the Tories some time, and they'll triumphantly bring the UK down to US standards, don't you worry.)

Anybody know what's up with LWT on HBO Go? I can watch GoT or Silicon Valley right about the time they air eastern (so several hours early pacific) but as of like 11pm pacific LWT still didn't show a new episode.
I keep going to bed thinking it's on hiatus for a week, only to see YouTube links the next morning.

They don't finish the show till Sunday, they actually film it Sunday evening. So they don't' have time to get it up by Sunday night.

Would the Britons allow it, though?
I mean, sure, they get ten or eleven aircraft carriers and a couple nuclear thousand warheads, but that's not as attractive as one might think.

Tasty, tasty foods?
Like chicken?
I was about to comment on the delicious finger-licking irony of that case, but Mvrck beat me to the punch, and I lower my hat to you.
I can certainly see what makes Britain attractive to many Americans, but it does seem like they'd be getting the short end of the stick. Perhaps, as another person from a tiny island where it actually rains regularly, I sympathize too much with the country of Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Ringo Starr.
Also, as someone who has never really acculturated to Southern cuisine (or anything else, regrettably), I actually think British food is okay. They do fish well, and there's slightly less cheese on everything (don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of cheese) and I appreciate that--I'll probably end up paying for that admission though.

Duh. That makes sense.
So, uh, I enjoy eating chicken. Do I need to skip this episode?

Nope, watch it. It makes you appreciate the farmers who actually raise the chickens and hate both Big Chicken who screw these farmers out of a decent living and the elected officials who let it happen.

It also means that whoever is running the committee can just go 'It appears the 'Noes' have it' without bothering to count anything. Again.
That is the part that pissed me off the most. Just... FFS do these people not have any accountability? I assume no one on the committee can even raise an objection to that or demand an actual count. It would probably still come up "No" because the world is a terrible and unjust place, but make these people put down an actual physical record of their vote so it can be thrown in their face later.
It's a system that reeks of 'we're untouchable so why should we even bother to look like we give a fuck or try to spin it?'
It's a system of "everyone in the room already knows how everyone is going to vote and this is a subcommittee, we know no one is going to typically give a shit on how we vote, so let's not waste the time tallying it." If anyone in the room thought the outcome wasn't a foregone conclusion, they would ask for an official vote.
Given the attention which will likely be given to the issue thanks to John Oliver, I'm sure that the Nos will still have it this time around, but someone will ask for a formal vote so the members of the committee will have their names assigned a vote.

Yeah, voice vote is fine so long as anyone can force a recorded vote. Hell, they use voice votes on the senate floor for procedural stuff all the time iirc (you know, as long as it's not cloture or something).

Wow. Seriously... that's like organized crime levels of extortion.
The best commentary on British cuisine.
Although Fry's comeback is a scorcher.

There will typically be a count if people object to the result
