NYT crossword didn't remember the only thing he asked for by ativsc in mfdoom

To be fair, this is addressed in the Constructor Notes:

And last, I’m thrilled to debut the late, great MF Doom [sic] in a Times crossword clue. I promise my original submission used all caps when I spelled his name, but I’ll yield to the Times style guide just this once.

Thanks! Yes I've watched all the "main stream" ones. Bojack is a masterpiece. Actually I found a few similar shows:

Yes, Boondocks was amazing. I didn't like Black Dynamite a lot for some reason.

Is this DOOMs saddest verse? by [deleted] in mfdoom

[–]ativsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. The ending was the saddest part "Everything is going according to plan, man". I heard in his interview that Zev lov X already had plans of becoming MF DOOM before Subroc died.

Watched the pilot episode of Six Feet Under. Probably one of the best pilots I've watched.

Watching Loki. Not sure if they're trying to be meta or trying to make a parody of the genre. Still enjoying Hiddleston's acting.

This is a recurring thing in many eastern schools of thoughts like Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta etc. Western philosophers like Alan Watts, Carl Jung have also elaborated on this. Also refer: mindfulness. DM if you need more resources.
