Yeah but I once got a lot out of The Root and Jezebel, sites I would never have thought to visit prior to the properties being merged with the Onion. Problem is that as low as things have gotten on AVC, those sites are absolute shells (especially The Root, which at this point should just shut down).

The P-HERE is the best acronym ever.

Like, I can’t. So fackin’ what if it’s Mel Gibson? You refuse to watch Road Warrior, Beyond Thunderdome, Payback (fuckin’ PAYBACK?), Braveheart, just, like, a ton of great movies cuz dude lost his shit 15 years ago and has been relegated to the VOD realm?

I mean, absolutely fuck Mel Gibson, but there is a point where repeatedly bringing up how much you hate that Mel Gibson is in this just makes you start to look a bit performative and insincere about how much you hate the fact that he’s in this.

Upon reflection, it’s really impressive how good Lower Decks is. They manage to (usually) deliver a solid sci-fi story, a solid Star Trek story, and a ton of jokes that actually land every episode. My brain keeps insisting it shouldn’t work as well as it does but it pretty much always does.

Yes. True. But let’s also not ignore the fact that people are throwing these out the window?? Like just put a cap on it and dispose of it while you’re refueling. There’s no excuse for that behavior, corporations be damned. That’s a driver issue, not a company one. People, no matter their profession, don’t get a pass…

Went up in a King Air 90 years ago. It set up for air survey and at the back, there was a little funnel with a tube to the outside if you had to take a leak. We have some KA 300's now and they removed the actual toilet to make room for equipment and they have a honey bucket (drywall bucket with a seat on it) for those…

Pilots of small planes (who definitely cannot pull over and scurry around a big roadside bush, and are mightily discouraged from flinging anything out the window) can buy a smaller thing of that nature, which if memory of seeing one serves, is called a Provisional Human Element Range Extender or P-HERE.

It’s about her love of the end titles for Swedish films

Welcome to a Sam Barsanti dipshitfest.

I would actually be interested in having this next to my bed

Ha, had no idea this happened in Florence. My mom’s hometown, where I still have family. Absolutely beautiful place, and a cool small town Main Street drag with great food and shops. So...good choice, Lana.

I think a lot of these are from owner operators, or drivers who don’t want to stop because time is money

I dislike Mel Gibson (I still love a couple of his movies), I detest anti-Semitism, racism, misogyny, and more things Gibson is probably associated with.

I can never tell reading Barsanti’s reviews whether a show is good or not because it’s usually just culture war/political shit.

For someone who hates Mel Gibson, this review is obsessed with saying his name as much as possible and giving him a lot of attention. I know, extra heapings of snark is required on this site, but it would have been so much better to simply say “Why did they cast that jerk?” and never mention him again while you…

All this Mel Gibson talk makes me want to watch Payback again...

wow this is thrilling, please post more stories about song titles

Speaking for myself, but I find EV swapping a classic to be a bastardization of the classic, akin to making a street rod out of it. People are free to do what they want with their cars of course, but every time someone does something like this, a little bit of our history is lost. I can’t look at that Morgan in the…

Musk could cure cancer and this site would find a way to make it look bad. Don’t expect any objectivity here.
