Is Brenda the blonde woman on the left? If so, definitely her.

More contemporary Slater than Heathers era Slater:

Okay, I need others to weigh in on this: is it just me, or does Brad Goreski look like Christian Slater with that haircut and those glasses?

Well ya know, broken clocks and all that.

When I hear Jonad/Jonads, all I can think of is Jonah from Veep:

Yes to this. Very much yes.

Better yet: livestream the Jezebel and Deadspin staffs engaging in a variety of drinking games. I’m talking pizza box, beer pong, true american, a power hour. Honestly, I’d settle for just a recorded Jezebel/Deadspin joint power hour. That sounds amazing

If his appearance in the Justice League trailer is anything to go by, Momoa’s Aquaman is going to be the silent brooding I-slouch-in-my-throne-because-Imma-badass type...which is not the swashbuckling Sea King I want him to be.

Right? Like Jesus Christ, all we’re asking for is a few more shades and a couple more hairstyles. It’s not a big request. Like, we could apply our arguments to the facial structures of the male and female options, noting how they are overtly European (small lips, small and thin noses, etc.), but we’re not (even though…

And so diverse too! Semi-washed up actor Orlando Bloom’s peen! Now semi-washed up rapper 50 Cent’s member! Whose next? A semi-washed up singer’s “little man?” The possibilities are endless!

It’s basic plot foundation is the old gangster trope of “big-time kingpin trying to go legit after all these years, but his criminal ties keep pulling him back in.” However, the show’s elevated by some excellent acting, great cinematography, and entertaining melodrama. It can be a bit too self-serious at times but…

This is everything...I think we can shut this thread down now; we’ve peaked.

I’m speaking as a 22 year old male living in NYC, so my experience will probably be different than you, but my recs are:

A lot of trap/house influenced rap to start: think Rick Ross, Jeezy, the A$AP Mob (which isn’t entirely Trap but it’s aggressive), and Meek Mill. Also, metal or hard rock, depending on my mood: Killswitch Engage, Slipknot, Korn, Motörhead, etc.

Might I recommend The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin? Groundbreaking SciFi work that is always relevant.

I’m so sorry that this is happening to you; spoiling her rotten is definitely the right move. I’ll keep you and your cute doggy in my thoughts. *gives internet hug*

I mean, don’t let me get in the way of your birthday weekend. You certainly deserve to relax if that’s what you really want to do. I asked just because I usually find you given a balanced take on most comic-related enterprises (your Killing Joke review being the most recent example).

Will you be posting a review of Suicide Squad? And if you already have and I missed it (entirely possible), could you post a link here? Thanks!

Do you mean to tell me that “Rack city, bitch, rack rack city, bitch / Ten, 10, 10, 20 on yo titties, bitch” is not the height of sex work Discourse I thought it was? My God...
