I don’t mind movies that much but loud restaurants are one of my biggest pet peeves. I want to go to a restaurant to enjoy my food that I didn’t have to cook and have a nice conversation with the people I’m dining with, not listen to club-level volume music blaring so loud that everyone has to yell at each other to be

It gave me soul damage.

And probably brain damage too from the stupidity of the whole thing. 

Seeing Fast & Furious 7 in a cinema gave me hearing damage.

It’s still just a glorified overpriced Ford

Please keep reporting on this shit.

Exactly. If you are one of the unlucky people that have an ISP with a data cap, you’re damn near screwed downloading a game + an update for a month.

I also suspect that the politics of Splinter didn’t quite align with the politics of venture capitalists who made their career failing upwards.

Bring back Sam Fisher. 

The old "I got mine, don't worry about yours". 

That’s how those that commiserate with terrible people always try to excuse themselves. “It’s just a difference of opinion! Aren’t people entitled to have different opinions?”

The well of forgiveness for rich white people coupled with the myth of American exceptionalism is unlimited. I wonder if the same argument applies to other war criminals. Can’t wait to watch Ellen hanging out with Ratko Mladić at a football game. Can’t wait to see her have one of the Stranger Things kids jump out of

Yeah Bush is ultimately responsible for some very bad shit, I would have a very hard time being friends with him because of it; however, that doesn’t mean I think he should wander the rest of his life alone and undeserving of friendship.

“Here’s the thing: I’m friends with George Bush... In fact, I’m friends with a lot of people who don’t share the same beliefs that I have. We’re all different, and I think that we’ve forgotten that that’s okay that we’re all different,” says the rich blue-eyed Baby-Boomer white American about the rich blue-eyed

Aw, kiddo, just you wait until people start chuckling at Trump’s jokes in 2023 and letting him off the hook and saying “Gosh, he wasn’t so bad, he’s just funny!” as he gets some reality TV show gig on NBC.

Yeah, I think the framing as “I can have friends that I don’t agree with” is disingenuous. She’s not being attacked for being pals with someone who has conservative beliefs, she’s being attacked for being pals with someone who committed war crimes, and who used his power to make life worse for LGBTQ people (I mean, he

Nice that he starts Chinese history in the 19th century, implying that there was long-term territorial integrity under a single continuous cultural hegemon prior to that.  Chinese history isn’t quite so compact and pretty.  Hong Kong has changed hands many, many times.

I’m sure the million ethnic Muslim Ugyhurs residing in the Xinjiang re-education camps will be happy to hear about the NBA’s commitment to Chinese fans as they assemble for their 5 a.m. re-education seminar. It will make their morning rice gruel taste so much sweeter.

Notice how none of the Republicans can/will/want to actually DEFEND him, though. So far, they’ve been scurrying away when cornered; when questioned, they’ll change the subject. And they have no unifying reaction message, because Trump has refused to make an impeachment war-room, or even map out a defense. (He thinks

That promotional photo, which I’ve seen frikkin’ everywhere, tells me all I need to know about this film. If I were to watch it, I wouldn’t see the Joker, I’d see Joaquin Phoenix AAAAAAAHHHHCCCCTTTTIIIINNNNGGG.
