It would be great if Kotaku would label them with the character and franchise, which they’ll never do despite someone asking for it every time they post one of these.

Conservatives have this mythic idea of the 50s just as Democrats have this mythic idea about the New Deal or the 60s. These historical myths are foundational to the political tribalism both parties promote.

Probably died of a broken heart seeing his empire crumbling.

Except it really, really isn’t. I’ll admit there are some solid jokes going on, but it just wasn’t The Muppets, it didn’t have the anarchic, vaudevillain, batshit insane energy the Muppets should have. Where were the random explosions? Where were the absurd one off jokes? The fourth wall breaking meta humor? The…

On an unrelated topic, has this already been seen here (kids recreating the Black Panther costumes):

Have to agree with Matt. It’s not the responsibility of every white person to apologize for other white people. Just like it isn’t the responsibility of any tother race to apologize for the actions of other members of their own.

What is the “issue”? That white people have moral culpability for the past? That seems to be the notion. There is nothing wrong with stating that its been bad for 400 years to be black in America, and that continues to impact black lives today. But that is not what I see as the issue. Instead I think writers like you…

I think the key point, though, is that she wanted there to be more than one character. If there’s just one token character representing a minority, there’s pressure on them to represent the whole group. Any flaws they had could be taken as impugning the entire category of people, so the safest path is to idealize…

I didn’t take “allow them a Lucy!” to mean “make one of them a main character.” Earlier in the letter, Glickman kept talking about how “even Lucy” counted as a good character, implicitly saying that she was a good character despite her abrasive qualities as the strip’s primary antagonist. And the line came after her…

Even his expository small talk was filled with his accomplishments rather than his shortcomings.

Run. fast.

Sure. The trick is to add back in a bit of moisture. Microwave: Add a little water, toss with a fork and nuke until hot through. Alternatively, break up any large clumps and steam just until hot (line the steamer basket with cheesecloth). If you don’t have a microwave or a steamer basket and have to reheat on the…

toasted is tastier

I would also like to become Mrs. Robot.

Replace NBC with CW: problem solved, you’re welcome, no fee, Merry Christmas.

And someone who would go down on you in a theater.

I don’t remember it being this controversial when God was a white woman. And Canadian.

I have a problem with the course’s name. If there was a class called the “The Problem of Blackness,” or “The Problem of Hispanics,” or “The Problem of Jewishness” this website would be up in arms. Being born a particular way isn’t a problem. Nor should it be treated as such.

Given that I seem to remember there were allegations of elder abuse by the most recent husband, I don’t think I want to google what these 5 years of life support were like. I can’t imagine this was good.
