Just please don’t go down the road of some of your competition sites that have gone full MAGA/Fox News and spew some of the worst conspiracy theory/foil hat crap you can dream up.  Sites have been ruined just by letting people turn the comments section into a cesspool of unverified and fact-less crap.  Agree with many

That says more about the quality of the rest of the posts on the site than it does about this one, my man. 

Genocide, you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

WTF is this article doing on Jalop? Bad editorial choice.

I got a medical card in my state. The process was an effing joke designed to make the “medical” companies and growers/sellers money, nothing more. I talked to the doctor for <= 2 minutes.

He’s literally the reason I stopped watching the His Dark Materials series.

It’s not straight mustard, dammit, it’s mustard-based sauce (often called Carolina gold) and it’s delicious. I say this as someone who never lived in the Carolinas.

“All of this is to say: get used to the presence of Naked Gun. Even if this movie is kind of a mess, the franchise isn’t likely to run out of bullets anytime soon.”

For me, the Great Unfilmable is Gene Wolfe’s body of work, particularly the Book of the New Sun novels. They’ve got plenty of action and translatable visual spectacle, but everything that makes them really special, from the unreliable narrators to the beauty of the language to the time-travel shenanigans, could not

Playing this like Trump suits the bridge gamers.

It was two things:

That’s so weird, I totally remember that whole thing, except that he was a rapper at the time. I even saw him on Letterman. I thought it was for a movie or...something.

Actually I had forgotten all of that, what a trip that was.
