Her name is Aabria Iyengar. Not Abriya.

Their name is Erika Ishii. Not Erica Ishin.

His name is Demi Adejuyigbe. He is a fantastic and brilliant comedian, musician and writer, with a background that stretches from Vine to Gilmore Guys, to Punch Up the Jam, to The Good Place and more. He absolutely is not Gabe Hicks. They don't even look the same.

I've repeatedly seen fans misspelling the names of the cast members of colour. Multiple times now since the Demi clip came out, I've seen people mix him and Gabe Hicks up. This is...you know this is bad, right? I'm a person of colour who's often had people not bother to learn how to spell my (Irish) name, or been confused with the only other person of colour in a workplace, and it's deeply uncomfortable.

Let's put some respect on the names of the cast - especially the cast members of colour.

Lots of love, A tired fellow fan

ETA: here's the thing. Since this has been up, I've seen a wave of racial microaggressions, people who insist that they don't see colour, and lots and lots and lots of down votes for saying that refusing to spell a person's name correctly when you see it all the time is somewhat disrespectful.

So...I think I'm likely done. I'm not interested in being told it's not that deep and to touch grass over and over and over, when this is a documented structural issue. And I'm not that interested in having my inbox flooded with angry angry angry people. And, honestly, I...think I'm probably just done.

For those of you for whom this struck a chord: peace and love.

For everyone else who thinks it's aggressively okay to misspell names you see pretty much all the time, but utterly ignored the rest of the post...perhaps a little self-examination is in order, yeah?

Bye, Dropout.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on IPTV services that offer reliable 4K quality streams. I'm interested in exploring options that provide a wide range of channels and content. Any suggestions or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!

It just ticks all of my boxes. Oddly specific topics, getting way too pedantic, ridiculous takes, and slideshows. I’m all in!

Can somebody please generate a GIF for me and my wife to use. We cannot stop quoting that scene and I'd love a smooth GIF of Izzy saying that's she's hungie.

I saw this presentation/improv show called Abolish Everything then turned on the first episode of Smartypants this morning and realized they’re incredibly similar!

If you’re in New York and want to see essentially Smartypants with an added condition that each presentation must argue for something we should abolish (I saw calls to abolish AMC A-List, the California roll that’s included in a bento box, and the song Empire State of Mind), I highly recommend going to see Abolish Everything at Caveat in the Lower East Side (not sure when their next show is). Caveat is very Dropout coded so I recommend it in general to any Dropout fans.

Sorry I can’t figure out how to make the title not sound like an ad. I’m not affiliated with Abolish Everything or Caveat, just want to turn on the Dropout community to great improv.

I feel like my approach changes and there's not a consistent good one, but once I find a song, exploring the radio and following that thread can be great. The problem is that when Spotify tries to cycle in too much stuff too close to what I already listen to, then it ruins the discovery component and becomes a bit of an echo chamber.

And what are your artist/band reccomendations off that music genre?

Has anyone else gotten the email for the 10% discount on the Dropout store today?

I can't see a code to enter in the email, and the link just brings me to the store but doesn't seem to activate any kind of discount.

The email says it should be active from 11am EST today (May 9th) to tomorrow (May 10th).

Thanks!
