I’m sure she knows that. This particular author has a gift for saying things that are blatantly wrong, ignorant, misinformed or stupid in such a way that they practically beg for a storm of comments to correct them. She has a genuine talent for it.

This. As I said on the last article, if you’re going to show this scene, then SHOW IT. Don’t softpedal it, like a woman in this situation has a much less agonizing time. Show how bad it is, and maybe someone out there who likes women but has never thought deeply about this issue (not deeply enough to vote on it…

At the risk of being shouted down, and possibly rightfully so, I actually think maybe this gory and shocking version may have been the best way to go. While watching I’d expected the King to ask the Queen to make the choice and didn’t see the point in having him make that choice, but apart from character development I…

I still maintain this whole thing is being rushed and I foresee nothing but chaos as a result UNLESS the prices of the cars come down dramatically between now and then and the infrastructure is improved dramatically. Otherwise this is just going to put additional financial strain on people who are already at their…

It was excruciating to watch, but if the first thing you were not thinking about was how it’s just like our lives today, then maybe you missed the point. I hope it sparked conversations about how horrible others making decisions for your health and safety are.  

If it had been made a federal law when the Dems had a majority, it wouldn’t have been an issue.

Watched the first 2 EPs this morning, and it’s pretty spectacular. Using the letter grade scale, an A- so far (just a few very tiny dings ...)

To be fair, “24 hours” was kind of an anomaly in Sandman and the comic never really relied on that degree of horror again. I think Gaiman was still tinkering and trying to find the story’s voice in those early issues (especially with the clunky narration) and despite some powerful moments, it didn’t really settle into…

This is a big failing of the reviews here and has been for a long time. They all can’t help comparing whatever they are watching to “the source material” when usually less than 10% of the people watching the show have read it.

“but how much praise can you really give something for doing what is essentially the bare minimum in replicating an acclaimed work of art and transferring it into a different medium?”

The blind Beyoncé worship is bad enough but the ridiculous levels of defensiveness when so much as a whisper of criticism is directed her way is beyond ridiculous. No one is above reproach or questioning or criticism. People need to stop with that nonsense. If she’s as fucking brilliant as her fans want us to believe,…

Hold up... Beyonce absolutely deserves to get called out. That Daily Beast article cited above even notes how she’s got a bad habit of using “I” and not “we” when discussing her music. From that article:

Yet again, just more shit-talking of Microsoft for no reason. It’s like Kotaku’s mission to say how awful Xbox is every other day in what should just be a fairly straightforward news article.

The graphic says “Coming to Xbox/PC” and you think it’s padding that they didn’t personally make every game on the list? You are beyond cautious and into trolling with this crap.

Somehow I fear victims, both male and female [this is for specificity, not trying to mis-gender anyone] will have an even harder time coming forward.

Because, whether we want to admit it or not, we’ve assigned some degree of desirability to beating the shit out of someone.

WV was the most Democratically controlled state in the country from roughly 1940 until 2000 and people STILL talked shit about WV. Doesn’t matter who is in charge - deriding WV has been a national pastime for decades.  

This is not a well researched article based on fair comparisons (shocking for Jezebel, I know.)

Yeah, commenting on this to bump your point about the IOC up. This is not the IOC’s fault (though a lot of other bad things are!), they’re literally trying to ban Valieva from competing and being blocked by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. 

This is, indeed, a take. One that ignores pretty much everything about the differences between these two decisions except for race, sure, but still a take.
