Rick And Morty Ditches Roiland, Recasting Voices Following Domestic Abuse Allegations [Updates]
Quote: The main voice behind Rick and Morty won’t be returning in season seven. Adult Swim announced on Tuesday that it would cut ties with series co-creator Justin Roiland, a decision that comes just weeks after news first surfaced that he was facing two felony domestic abuse charges from 2020.
“Adult Swim has ended its association with Justin Roiland,” the Rick and Morty account tweeted today. “Rick and Morty will continue. The talented and dedicated crew are hard at work on Season 7.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Roiland’s voice roles will be re-cast and Dan Harmon will remain the sole creator through season 10.
Well, hell. I can understand AS's decision, but you just KNOW this is going to be a replay of the death of Jim Henson when we ended up with wrong-sounding Muppets.

I'm not sure if I'll have the stones to watch it when/if it comes out.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I remember the Rodney King riot - and he survived.

All the police were white (I think) in the Rodney King case, and the riots occurred after the four officers who did get charged were found not guilty. With black on black, I wonder if there would be as serious a backlash. I guess we'll see.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The race of a cop is ‘cop’. Never expect that black cops are less likely to brutalize a black suspect than are white cops. And I doubt very much that the community won’t take to the streets if these cops are acquitted.

Finally some good news
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
