How to celebrate today

When you’re a white guy who doesn’t go in for political correctness you might be stumped for things to do on Martin Luther King Day. Personally I think your best bet is just to lay low, say nothing, and enjoy the day off. Me, I’m going to be catching up on some old (when I say old I mean like a few months old) TV shows that have caught my attention and interest recently.

Not long ago, and after much delay, I got back into watching BoJack Horseman on Netflix and I must say that show found itself toward the end of Season One and into Season Two. It’s worth muddling through some subpar episodes in the middle to get to this point, and if you’ve got the time today I say go for it.

Secondly I recommend Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle. Based on Philip K. Dick’s 1962 novel, Castle presents a post-World War II America in which the Axis powers defeated the Allies. The Empire of Japan administers our West Coast and the Nazis rule the East, with a sort of Wild West neutral zone of resistance existing in the inner regions. It’s compelling stuff, and at least one example that Amazon’s original programming is up to that of Netflix.

Good job, world. Good job.

Dr. King would be proud.
