If you find Dakota Johnson saying things in a monotone way amusing, I’ve got really good news for you.

Love me some Cody Showdys.

Yeah, this seems relevant:

What a dumb fucking article.

It fails to work on so many levels.

“So, who gets to keep the cat?”

I’m not sure why anyone thought this would work with two of the most praised folks, specifically praised for doing things on their own terms, trying to create one thing together.

Interesting. My wife and I just finished and she liked it much less than I did. After a couple of episodes, she was expecting something lighter and a spy show with romance stuff. She wasn’t in to a relationship show with some spy stuff especially after shit got real romance-wise.  I have a gut feeling that I like the…

It’s not strange. They were wrong. It was obvious. The people who were right were obviously right. To get to the point where you were obviously wrong, you have to examine WHY you were obviously wrong. And if you do that, suddenly you’re in conflict with some fundamental ways you engage with information.

“Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia”

there are folks who still refer to jane fonda as ‘hanoi jane,’ and that was over 50 years ago.

Yep. Switching positions and then pretending that you always believed in the position currently held is as American as apple pie.

I feel especially for the Chicks, who were excoriated and mocked on these very pages when they decided in 2020 to change from their original name... which was a bad name, it’s true! But there was no acknowledgment that they were some of the few artists in 2003 with the temerity to go against the mainstream when it…

One strange, frustrating feature of the politics around the Iraq War is that a broad consensus has emerged that the war was a colossal mistake, without any corresponding acknowledgement that the people saying that in 2003 were right. I suspect that many of the people who were eager to vilify the Dixie Chicks in 2003…

I don’t think Hank is dumb, I think he is just desperate.

I had a distant co-worker that I liked a lot from the few interactions I’d had with her over the years, but she suddenly left the company one day. I eventually found out she’d straight up fallen for one of those “hey you won a bunch of money, but you have to send us a small amount first so we can send it to you” and…

People fall for obvious scams all the time. My wife as part of her job deals every day with people being conned/scammed or who have been conned, in many cases far more obvious than the one depicted on this show. Sometimes they are cheated out of large sums of money and then they turn around and get taken for more…

FWIW that’s one of the more realistic angles in a very sad sense.

Enquiring minds want to know if legend Dionne Warwick is gripping a pack of Kools, Newports or Parliament Menthols?

I thought his issue with this season was that it also doesn’t plagiarize Thomas Ligotti and Alan Moore verbatim.
