It’s a thing. All of these are the result of people not reading books. They’ve never seen the words in print (I mean actual edited, published material, not internet posts), so they just repeat what they think they heard. It’s the telephone game in action.

“The TENANTS of a genre” (tenets)

The amount of liquid in the bananas will vary with size and ripeness, I’d say. More liquid = gummier bread. I use the America’s Test Kitchen recipe, which calls for microwaving 5 bananas for 5 minutes, straining the liquid from them (about 1/2 cup), and reducing that to 1/4 cup before adding it back to the banana pulp.…

A shareholder summed it up pretty well at an earlier meeting. Activision exists to funnel money into Kotick’s pockets. End of story.

I only knew Amanda Waller from the animated Batman shows - a hardass, but not evil - and then this movie version straight-up murders a room full of junior FBI agents in cold blood. That mostly made me hate the writers.

Geez, I had no idea he was Swedish. I’ve only seen him in For All Mankind and Altered Carbon.

A reboo-quel.

During his last “We’re sorry, we can chaaaaaaange!” performance, he reminded me of the skeezy mechanic at a backwoods gas station in a horror movie who steers unwitting victims towards the local cannibal family. Replace cannibals with sexual predators, and I guess I wasn’t too far off.

But I heard that was socialism and made the baby Jesus cry. /s

College athletics is gonna be interesting going forward, with the NCAA’s new name-image-likeness monetization rules. But from what I’ve seen at my local Big 10 school, the kids’ order of focus quickly became sports -> tiktok to boost their brand ->>>>>>>>>>>>>> school. I’m all for them finally getting a cut of the big…

Same goes for Talibangelicals: “We’re a savagely oppressed, powerless minority, so we deserve special protections” AND “This is a white, Christian country, so everyone has to do what we say.”

Naturally, one of the morons filmed himself doing it, and - shocker - is in pics with a Trumper congressman.

Funny that his Japanese retains a bit of a French accent.

That guy looks a *lot* like Kamina from the anime Gurren Lagann...

In the funktastic Interstate 76, there was an actual “Poetry” keyboard hotkey. Your wingman had been an English professor prior to becoming an auto vigilante. Press it, and he’ll lay some truths on you.

>“The suspect made a motion toward the firearm, it was at that time a deputy involved shooting occurred, the sheriff’s department said in a statement Tuesday.

Ah, the “bad apple” defense. The thing is, the whole idiom is “One bad apple spoils the whole bushel.” It’s literally true.

Civil asset forfeiture is news to you? Good grief. This isn’t even the most egregious example.

I dunno, the 1991 TV series “Roc” with Charles S. Dutton was about a garbage man. More “hard working, married good guy” than “suave,” though.

Give her credit, she switched to a Nazi-ish military uniform later.
