I don’t know if it was their intention, but the sight of a a dozen scalpels heading directly for one baby, acid about to spill on another, and one falling directly into the path of a flaming oxygen tank had my in tears of laughter. Just absolutely ludicrous visuals.

Plus, in terms of the opening, it also has the side effect of making the sight of babies falling to their deaths feel slightly less traumatic.

It’s been a long road, gettin’ from there to here….

Star Wars’ OTHER problem is us: Humans aren’t really capable of grasping 10s of thousands of people unless they’re looking at a stadium, and even then, we’re not really differentiating. So we’re examining a universe of uncountable beings, of which 10k or so are officially “special” (and others are special-adjacent or…

Ahsoka didn’t wash out. She was initially kicked out of the Jedi Order because they believed, wrongly, that she was behind a bombing of the Jedi Temple. After it was revealed that the bomber was actually Bariss Offee the Jedi Council said that Ahsoka was reinstated and that the hardships she went through as the…

Followed in the next time slot by “Judge Doctor”

COUNTERPOINT: If I ever find myself in that position, they’ll have to drag my ass off stage.

In a similar vein, it would’ve been pretty funny if “Dr. Oz” was a show about a charlatan somehow placed into a position of direct public influence and leveraging it to make specious claims designed entirely to enrich him without regard for the knock-on effects of his actions.

It was such a clumsy apples and rockets comparison. Venus and Serena compete in a sport where there are physical differences in players. Jane is competing in the creative arts where men and women are mentally equal. Both have to deal with sexism and misogyny, so Jane doesn’t get extra points. The more I think about…

Mixed Doubles exist, Serena and Venus have both won multiple opens in that field.

I feel a bit strange about this. Is it cultural appropriation to participate in a mode of speech that has more or less entered the mainstream, an outcome that in my heart of hearts seems like, basically, a Good Thing?

Well, Awkwafina isnt actively “doing” anything, she is just talking how she has learned to talk over the course of her life. She isnt imitating anything, thats...just how she talks. She is just a new target for people to be angry at.

I love Trevor Noah and yet even I sometimes wonder how is he not facing any questions about impersonating/imitating different accents from different cultures not his own. Is it because he’s not American, or not a woman, or both? Or is it because he does it from a good place and with love for the cultures he’s…

This type of behavior from companies should be illegal, full stop.

Something seems to be up, especially with the doxxing of the family’s home address.

Holy shit...wtf with posting the full address there?!? 

I’m honestly surprised it took them a full 4 hours to leave the scene, get back to the station, change back into their uniforms and drive back to the house they just shot at.

Is it normal for police departments to blast the address like that?  In a tweet? 

Exactly what made me love Monica Lewinsky. Barbara Walters tried to shame her on TV like that, and Monica stood her ground.
