Whatever happens, Peggy should be (re-?)reading her copy of A Dinner of Onions.

The actual teaser video here really catches me off guard. Hank pressing himself against the glass feels out of character. Peggy’s suicide remark feels more harsh than it was probably meant to be. The animation style. I’m happy to get more of the Hills, but I can tell this is going to take some getting used to for me.

I definitely don’t think they’d get away with killing off Luanne and Lucky. I think the sting of an orphaned Gracie would be a bit much. My own feelings are that Luanne and her family will be referenced as offscreen in phone calls, etc., where we get infrequent updates through Peggy or Bobby, and eventually the characters are seldom, if ever, mentioned again until the eventual revival finale.

Or maybe they’ll recast them, who knows.

Minh and Kahn can be seeing arguing around the 0:05 timestamp. I wonder if this foreshadows the plot of the final planned episode of Season 14.

I’m trying to get over Bobby’s adult voice. I don’t dislike it, and really it feels spot on. It’s just different.

Bobby went to SA with Hank and Peggy at first. It’s totally possible that Connie is with Joseph or even Chane. The official synopsis for season 14 says

Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane.

Connie being in a relationship with Chane could be what keeps him relevant in the series. Maybe Joseph takes up John Redcorn’s ways and is curing Connie’s migraines.

Johnny Hardwick, the original voice actor for Dale, passed away in 2023. Supposedly Hardwick had already recorded lines for some episodes of the revival. Unknown whether they would be used at all or re-recorded with Huss.

Other things I saw:

• Dale’s orange Mack hat now says “Bait Shop” with a fish
• New patio umbrella

Correct, I also had not seen a post about it in the other active KotH community I am aware of. I did see the news last week, but I wasn’t in a situation where I could post it.

Earliest mention of a “reboot” I can find is August 2017, with Tom Petty passing October of that same year. So I guess that’s accurate. Of course, others were lost even earlier along the way.

Starting to feel like this revival is a little bit cursed, with the death of Johnny Hardwick, and now Jonathan Joss.

I’m responding because I think you prove the point that there are situations where this policy does not work.

This is not the proper forum to be having a “discussion” like this, because there is no proper forum to have a discussion like this. The misuse of the term “mental illness” is a nonstarter. Mental health disorders become mental illness when those disorders begin to consistently and negatively impact an individual’s emotional, physical, and/or social functioning. Simply being homosexual does not do that. Prejudice associated with, and stigma attributed to, homosexuality are the root causes of mental health issues among homosexuals.

Incorrectly labeling homosexuality as a mental illness must be rejected outright and provides no room for further discussion.

Careful. “Forty percent of Americans are subject to” is different from “40% of Americans subject to.” The former means that 40% of Americans are under the jurisdiction of or are affected by something. The latter means that 40% of Americans go along with it regardless of how many are affected in total. Entire states are subject to age verification laws, but perhaps only half of all adults in those states subject to those laws (allow the law to take force over them), implying that the remaining balance either abstain from activity requiring age verification or they find a way around it.

Most interestingly, the original Techdirt article meant the former—that a simple 40% of the total population of Americans live within states that have age verification laws, meaning that the linked article actually misrepresents what was being said, because the citing article’s language would indicate the second form of the usage of “subject” above. That is, that 40% of all people allow age verification laws to be activated and take force over them by virtue of their participation in activities that require age verification.

Edit: We agree that it’s not ideally worded in the linked article, regardless of the intended usage of “subject to.”

“Subject” is being used as a verb here. So it’s not “subject to age verification laws,” but “subject to age verification laws.” They are subjecting, or subjugating themselves, to verification laws. It is a complete sentence. A weirdly written one, but a complete one.

I think everyone is reading this as NPS not allowing Jane Employee to show up in uniform at Pride and hang out. Maybe they’d frown on that. But what appears to be happening is that employees are petitioning to march in Pride parades, or otherwise somehow participate, as they have in years past, and which supports the LGBTQ+ Special Emphasis Program of federal agencies, and NPS is letting those requests sit.
