Honestly it’s kind of hard for me to get mad at the NYT for not letting you guess racial slurs in Wordle anymore. When “slave” and “lynch” were the words of the day (and they were both going to be), don’t you think they’d look bad on social media? I get why they wouldn’t want that.

Maybe a bit of a conspiracy theory, but I say that this is 100% intentional - the NYT picked a word shortly after their acquisition that they could argue made sense to remove in order to force holdouts onto their version. “Agora” is both a fairly uncommon word and would make “Aroma” (today’s word, what would have been…

“Though I can’t begrudge anyone for wanting to hang onto Wordle 1.0. Now a whole new audience can ride the live service game roller coaster.”

Obi Wan? Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

While I didn’t think the last two seasons were bad, on the whole, they did provide what I think was the series’ first truly…

Unpopular opinion: Star Trek: Voyager’s premise, more than any other iteration, was most conducive to the now popular season’s long arc/gritty/etc. format.

Rebøøt.

it’s probably cool for the kids who weren’t around for the whole pop-punk thing, maybe?

I’m very much looking forward to the follow up of this: The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The Powerful Rings of The Lords: Home Edition!

“This is a title that we imagine could live on the spine of a book next to J.R.R. Tolkien’s other classics.”

YOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

That YouTube thumbnail looks like the werewolf is doing a chef’s kiss.

Films can be nostalgic, *and* have competent story logic.

Do you mean like Unggoy, Sangheili, Jiralhanae, San’Shyuum, Kig’Yar, Mgalekgolo, and Yanme’e?

Acknowledging her trans identity is worlds different from harassing her for it.

Miguel’s Dad is Hilary Swank.

I cannot imagine a world in which Mark Wahlberg is Case. That is bonkers and I have to stop everything I am doing in order to process it.

There is a line in the trailers (multiple of them!) that makes me basically unwilling to see this.

He was good in Three Kings, and not terrible in that remake of The Italian Job. 

I would like to say fuck all you anti-vax assholes that are forcing me to watch this at home instead of an imax screen.
