Ah yes, this is what I come to a car enthusiast blog to read about.

TLDR: “This game set 100 years before the events of Harry Potter isn’t progressive enough and that reminds me of JK Rowling who I hate.”

Its always fun when a guy who's talking about immaturity starts his comment off by calling people "bitches".

“Dummies Guide To: How Much Can We Milk the Harry Potter Controversy For Clicks”.

“(and a football man)“

Well put.

What I find off-putting are anonymous Twitter users who think a streaming subscription entitles them to have an opinion on where Badgley puts his hands or mouth or crotch.

I thought it was great. I liked all the dancers. It looked like a hipper version of an Olympics opening ceremony.

I sort of came to the opposite conclusion from the same place. It was “by the numbers” in the sense that there was nothing radically mold-breaking or revelatory, but on the other hand the design and execution were immaculate.

This has, at this point, just devolved into more tiresome culture war nonsense being waged only by the very online. The TERFs and other anti-trans bigots get to point at the absolutism of those bullying people and demanding nobody play the game; the trans people and their allies activated about this particular issue…

This is the take. Absolutely don’t play it if it bothers you, put forth any and every critique you’ve got against it, (which is sadly not happening a lot, what a shocker that when all the critical folks stay away out of principle, the conversation is dominated by deeply uncritical people!) but this absurd line-in-the-s…

I think the thing that bothers me here the most is dragging Miss Marvel into this, as if by association I’m supposed to think “Well, this show has to be as good as that one if the protagonist is at least as brown if not browner!” Except that Miss Marvel is a crazy good adaptation of a character I would have thought…

We are increasingly expected to enjoy art (or not) depending on the identity and political beliefs of the people who make that art, and castigated when we do not fulfill that expectation. This is a distressing trend.

We went through this before when this was reported in The Morning Shift.

I think streaming has been great for spreading movies and shows and a lot of obscure media to a much wider audience base. If it weren’t for streaming, the films I’ve made would have not had nearly the audience they have. I’m grateful for that.

Jeebus. Who fucking cares. Just tell us who to be outraged at and subsequently cancel so we can get on with our day.

The “pittsburgh left”.

If anyone had asked me what time Taylor Lautner would return to if he had a choice, I probably would have said 2009, too.

“You can keep her - we’ll make another one.”

Isn’t gas tax supposed to pay for road infrastructure maintenance?
