Does this magazine prepare kids for the Apocalypse? Because they, the Christian nationalist adults, truly want that to happen.

There's a Star Wars joke here, but I don't care.

In Maher's defense, if you think about it, having our government and media filled with very stupid assholes is rather amazing, so having one more asshole ragging on those other assholes makes him good. Seriously, that our government and news media are filled with terrible people should indicate a national crisis for…

I know what happened: I was thinking of Charlotte Le Bon, and Rae sounds like a young, hip way to spell Ray or something. But Charlotte is still a good name for girls. So is Blair, actually. Tootie, not so much.

Happy birthday, man.

I don't think it's possible to be as over-the-top as Jones. He's a perfect example of the failure of satire when reality out-ridiculous-izes it.

Colbert has been doing very funny work impersonating an Alex-Jones type character.

I was thinking Charlotte Rae sounded like a hot young Hollywood actress that could be on Freeform or in things I hadn't heard of; holy crap, Mrs. Garrett is still alive.

Was it wrong to laugh when Joanne answered? She was like a Bob's Burger character. Again, FJ was more of a random guess than than knowledge you could derive from the clue, other than knowing the Forbes list that is; and I incorrectly guessed Amy Adams right before Nilanka did. And for Pete's sake, can we get more…

I'd like to see The Happiest Day in the Life of Cousin Balki, myself, but this looks good, too.

Richard Brody of the New Yorker, whom you can stereotype as the pretentious, hipster cineaste, thought Sully one of the best films of the year. Haven't seen it myself, but I like Eastwood criticism that argues there's an unseen depth there.

I took my parents to see it. We were expecting a more straightforward treatment (I don't think I had seen an Egoyan film other than Sweet Hereafter), rather than a postmodern look at truth and denial iirc. My parents were disappointed. Might have to watch it again and read it on its own terms.

A good, recent (2015) history published by Princeton University Press is "They Can Live in the Desert But Nowhere Else": A History of the Armenian Genocide by Ronald Grigor Suny.

Yep. I didn't read the byline, got to "pointedly scrolling right past Scott Baio", and recognized O'Neal had written it.

Jesus Christ, that final photo. These are all adults, right? Do they know they're adults?

Yep, those are all actors that star on the show. I'm intrigued!

14 long books in the same series? Who are you—God? I'm not immortal; there's a billion other authors to get to.

Carrie Coon here looks like Cate Blanchett, which is not at all a bad thing. The cinematography is as stunning as ever. The prologue was a philosophical fable setting out the themes, like the one from A Serious Man. One theme being the truth of things. Nicely tied in with the state again with the TV background news of…

I thought Bale might play Morgenthau, since they look alike.

Dig Two Graves? Why? I'm only digging one grave. For this person I'm getting revenge on, actually. Guess you didn't think that's what the grave was for. And, oh, man, it will be so sweet! I can't wait! And after that, nothing but clear blue skies ahead!
