Curious, by turn of the century do you mean 18 years ago or 180? I don’t think I’ve come to terms that I’ve actually lived through a century turn.

Having been “an Earn” myself, I think I can sum up his attitude towards his relationship with Van with a line from Phonte:

Because nobody listens to techno. Until it’s too late.

Can you gator someone in the back?

She’s an admiral. She doesn’t know Po - all she know about him is that he was just demoted for being a hotshot. She doesn’t have to explain the grand plan to a mere Captain.

I lived on a military base for 18 years and Holdo’s actions did not confuse me in the slightest. Didn’t give it a second thought. An Admiral is absolutely not going to share all their plans with someone of substantially lower rank. This is why obedience and chain of command are so important in militaries. You might…

Ah, but he shut himself off from the force so JOKES ON YOU!*

LOL

I love Rashida. I bet Pixar was overwhelmed with relief when they started reading, but then she hit them with that last sentence like:

You ain’t gonna get through to these non black people. They think just like the lady who wrote the piece. It’s lovely that she had an awakening but where the heck has she been? The horrible things that have been happening to black folks just didn’t hit home until it was personal for her? I mean, for the sake of her…

Religion is the best disguise evil ever wore. It’s just another word for cult.

I feel like she wasted an opportunity to address how some men have no interest in interacting with women in a non sexual way and how sometimes you escape being a victim and sometimes your career stalls cause you are ignored. And how women judge each other for it. We internalize it and blame eachother. We need to have…

I’ve worked in the entertainment industry my entire adult life, since the age of 19. I’m in my 30s now, and I’m definitely on my way out. I love what the business does, but what has blown my mind time and time again is how this lazy garbage town goes out of their way to protect assholes and predators who aren’t even…

My hometown museum has a Wiley portrait in their permanent collection and the level of detail in person is unbelievable. It literally looks like a photograph and it’s huge. “David Lyon” is the name of the piece I’ve seen, at the San Antonio Museum of Art.

Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever met a woman with whom I’ve had an in-depth conversation with who doesn’t have a sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, or child molestation story. Usually they have more than one.

Cream of Wheat with honey and butter is a walk through my childhood. Good. To. Go.

Exactly. I’m currently partnered but am far and above the “breadwinner” in the relationship. My home is modest but nice and clean, I have plenty of friends and family, and if he had billed himself as a slacker looking for something else, I’d still be single.

Which is weird because there’s heavy trans subtext to the Matrix what with both of the directors later coming out as transgender and the book Fight Club was based on was written by a gay man who was mocking toxic masculinity. Something I bet the “fans” you’re describing would blow a gasket over.

I think there is a certain personality type of fairly intelligent and perceptive person who goes through a phase in their life lasting maybe a decade, from about age 15 to age 25 or so, in which they realize that many people and many institutions of society are hypocritical and corrupt. But instead of continuing a…

Because my vagina doesn’t have taste buds?
