This is very tangential, but every time I’ve seen this headline for the last 24 hours, I keep reading it as “Alien vs. Farrow,” like the next installment in the Alien/Predator (/Farrow?) series.

Carrie Fischer, and it’s not even close. I was sad about Robin Williams, Leonard Nemoy, Bowie and Rickman, but Carrie was the first one that brought me to full on sobbing tears. She was supposed to be at my local ComiCon just a couple of weeks before she passed, and she was the first person that I considered dropping…

First: #RepublicansAreTrash

I’m going to guess that in The Mandalorian S3, Cara Dune is going to be off on a long, long journey.

Years ago, I quit a job that literally made me cry at my desk to work something fun and temporary for the summer. It was a super fun place- a young restaurant crowd working summer jobs at the beach. Everyone was younger; I was like the old lady of the bunch, at 37. There was this guy in another department who was…

One thing to consider: The infosec damage here was total. Every piece of hardware in the Capitol building has to be assumed compromised, which means it has to be replaced. Not just computers - everything down to the network cables. That’s going to make legislating difficult over the next few months.

Isn’t it the opposite? Don’t most people like cilantro except for the small number who have that weird gene that makes it taste like soap?

There’s a 10 year gap between Olivia and Harry, but there was also a 10 year gap between Olivia and Jason Sudeikis. I think they’re both okay! And let’s face it, Harry Styles is not a 26 year old accountant from Fresno or something. He’s probably a lot more mature in some ways than even a 40 year old.

sorry, but when her intent was “look at my perfect family!”, I’m gonna take the piss out of how discordant the daughter (clearly interviewing for a social media influencer position) and the son (displaying a spot-on thousand yard stare or doing his best “stoned Scientologist trainee” imitation) are from the rest of…

I mean, I was thinking more of the various places where I’ve had to work overtime to write up a bunch of reports for an administrator who got paid 3x as much as I did, but also clearly never did anything with the reports. (And whose entire job was making sure other people wrote reports that they just... filed?)

We’ve flipped the compensation/necessity scale

I’m Indian and I’ve lived in the U.S. of A since I was 10 months old, but do you know how many fellow citizens ask me where I’m from and don’t accept ‘Minnesota’ or ‘California’ (lived there for 7 years) for an answer?

My uncle died from covid this week. He was living in a VA care facility, and 7 other people there also died. He had a very rough life, marked by severe bipolar disorder. He deserved a better death than dying alone in a hospital without anyone that loved him there to hold his hand. It is enraging to think that the…

I will never not feel a measure of sympathy for the friends of people who turn out to be secret abusers.

51 days - how long it took Republicans to ram through tax breaks for the rich & corporations in 2017.
30 days - how long it took Republicans to rush Amy Coney Barrett onto the Supreme Court.
219 days - how long the Republicans have been sitting on the relief package passed by the Democrat-majority House of…

After the 2016 election, I had a hard time walking around and looking at other humans and wondering which ones did THAT. And then it kind of got washed over and excused with how stupid those voters were.

As a white person, I agree 100%.  Anything called “heritage” is almost always racist.  Also, it’s space.  There’s really no heritage about being in space.  I hope the Biden Administration shuts that whole bullshit thing down in the first week.

So, did these chucklefucks not realize that these “Guardians” of the “Space Force” would literally be guardians of the galaxy, or did they totally realize that and decided it would be cool to rip off the name of a superhero movie franchise?

Politics aside, the baseline guide I use is: Would I have been fired for doing this at work? In this case, absolutely. No “cancel culture” (which isn’t a thing) here, just a employee getting fired for being a fuck up. If it weren’t for his socio-economic position this wouldn’t even be a discussion.

I deeply appreciate this screenshot, as it illustrates the phrase “Even I, a FOX “interviewer” with morals lower than a snake’s ass, cannot listen to this human neck faux-pontificate without being high as balls. Just, all the edibles, ya know? I cleaned out Uncle Ike’s on the way over here and am glad I did.”
