    This great strip is also a perfect summary of the red-state-beloved TV show Yellowstone, in which the worst people ever to appear in a non-sci-fi/fantasy drama are treated as protagonists rather than sociopathic stone-cold killers There have been times I've wondered if Beth Dutton is actually rabid

    🧪About that “152×” Yellowstone aspen claim (see WaPo headline). In a new preprint we show it’s a math error that inflated the effect by 768%. Corrected: 17.5×. Preprint: doi.org/10.32942/X2W...

    They say Colbert’s show lost $40M. Yellowstone loses $500M/year. Paramount streaming lost $5.4B in one quarter. But they cancel the #1 show? This isn’t business. It’s censorship. They’re silencing a critic. #SupportColbert #CD32 #AhujaCongress2026

    In this Ohio diner, Paramount still means the network that shows Yellowstone, not a working class town south of Los Angeles. But they do know this: Watching protestors getting tear gassed on Fox News is more entertaining than any scripted TV show.

    Wild how some of the biggest Yellowstone fans don’t realize the Trump admin is making the largest land grab—including actual Yellowstone. Your favorite show is about fighting to keep the land, and you’re missing that you’re about to lose yours in real life. How do you miss that? #landgrab

    So, the show Yellowstone is just a twisted, white man's fantasy that doubles as a platitudinous infomercial for shallow masculinity, triples as a caricature of working-class values, and quadruples as a weird, whimsical ode to "the way things oughta be".
