Right now it’s winner take all. That is maladaptive. It needs to stop.

This comes to mind:

This.

It’d be an interesting precedent as “maliciously (and usually dishonestly) attacking every aspect of (Enemy du jour)‘s character, honesty, integrity, ethics and fitness to perform his(her) duties as a (politician, journalist, comedian, singer, actor, former employee, former political appointee)“ is how our president…

Actually, I’ve science publications to my name, I’m writing at work on a lark, and I know what an non sequitur is. I make a lot of typos when I write quickly, and don’t care. I can’t educate everyone on science, and I’ve no idea if you’ve an interest in learning. I do know that you are capsaicin deficient, you…

Also it’s “in”, not “ion”.  No “o”. 

You sound like you need more hot sauce in your life. The life you save may be your own.  

By that logic, no one’s life was ever saved, as you just delayed their death, but they still eventually die.

Maybe not. Hot pepper consumption associated with not dying.

Lot of shows take at least few weeks to get up on their legs before they can gallop. I enjoy it now, but suspect it’s going to get better as we go. It will still likely be more insane/creative than any other superhero show, with the possible exception of Legion. I think some of the Fourth Wall patter/shtick of the…

I’m not sure if she’s being evil or stupid.  If she can get the Overton window shifted just a hair more to the right, her boss and her ilk, who she’ll be tied to for the rest of her life, will look more “Moderate”.  

I hope they do coffee ad tie-ins for the movie. Just him savoring a cup of Nescafe. Two cups set out, he’s the only one shown.

I do like your commentary, and that you stay on brand, even when we disagree. I feel it was a very watchable and rewatchable comic book movie with a comic cosmic motif.  Maybe more popcorn movie than Epic, but I wasn’t disappointed.  If they made a Baby Groot movie, I could see that getting on one’s nerves, but…

You reminded me of how much fun the opening was:

She’s a model. She won’t make it as a figure skater, she’s taking classes at Harvard related school that’s not hard to get into, and she’s a Jew beloved by a group that will go down in history as fascists. She won’t make a mark in history, and if she does, it won’t be flattering. 

Alien shorts, not to be confused with short Aliens.

Dunno, if I got in excellent shape and was paid to acquire ninja skills that were likely transferable to other work projects, I might not feel horrible.  It’s not like those aren’t unneeded skills in Hollywood.  If he had to gain 50lbs of unhealthy weight, and spent months practicing the glockenspiel, that’d be less…

Yeah, I could see it then having become “The book about the gay wizard”. 

We would have had his character killed some week he wasn’t there, then not tell him when we were meeting.  

When SHIELD ends, it’d be great if they all made cameos.
