Hey, you leave Billy out of this. OK, he put out mostly crap from An Innocent Man on, but his '70s output was solid, and much deeper lyrically than people give it credit for. He knew the range of his voice and never tried to make it do things it couldn't do (let's just forget Attila was a thing). I'll give you that

So, a bunch of half-assed songs he strummed while screwing around in his apartment.

Haven't you heard? This is the Internet. Any and every comment that is not 100% glowing is "complaining".

Exactly. The ticket says "$comedian_name$". It doesn't say $comedian_name$ and a bunch of drunk assholes". If you PAID to go to the show, you are the AUDIENCE, not the performer, shut the fuck up. If you're GETTING paid, you get to tell the jokes. Look down, which side of the stage are you on? Thought so. In a just

Cabbies are the worst drivers on the road. Those motherfuckers are psycho and will take you out if you don't watch out. Close second are public transit bus drivers.

Maybe so, but that's a technicality. The way it's used today, it's intentional and meant to contribute to dehumanization. They know what they're doing. If you paint immigrants as "aliens", people will be less likely to think of them as human.

No, INDIVIDUALLY we have every right to think whatever we want, and to use whatever internal standards we please for determining guilt or innocence, because we're NOT talking about a court of law. Your argument is no different than the tired old canard that "freedom of speech" applies to private entities, in either

Nah, they usually say "country club".

At least, for once, the term "illegal aliens" will be correct. Fucking hate when people talk about Mexicans as if they're from another planet.

I was always disappointed they didn't actually kill Hitler in that Doctor Who episode. Though punching him in the face and locking him in a cabinet was still pretty satisfying.

I always thought it was more like a save slot in a video game. When you first travel through time, you create a save beacon, and can only travel forward. Later you can travel back to where you started, but you can never go further back than your original save beacon. So we can't ever, for example, travel back to the

So they WEREN'T Jewish after all!

I find this whole recent fascination interesting, because there have been times in my life when I do remember FACTUAL information that I had KNOWN to be true, retroactively changing, and having been so damn sure of its accuracy that I was sure I shifted into a parallel universe. Unfortunately I can't think of any

Fuck Gawker, yes, but let's not act like all these allegations 100% came from Gawker either. There have been multiple accusations over the years, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt through most of them and say "Maybe it wasn't him", but Jen Kirkman's last account is just too damning. I don't see who

Ah yes, the good ol' "Why don't you do better?" fallacy, never gets old! Because people can only have critical opinions on something if they're able to do it themselves! You'd better not ever say that food tastes like shit, sir, unless you're a gourmet chef yourself! And only musicians can be music critics, right? Oh,

…Isn't that the definition of a guilty pleasure?

I actually think the second half of Nevermind is very underrated. "Drain You", "Lounge Act" (my favorite Nirvana song) and "On a Plain" are excellent. It just happens to be one of the most front-loaded albums of all time, and the back half doesn't get as much love. If I never hear "Teen Spirit" again though, I can die

Big thumbs up for that one. The Fragile was Trent's finest moment. He hasn't ever topped it. "The Great Below" is my favorite NIN song ever, just beautiful.

I'm a huge feminist, but I'm sorry, I still think Voyager is so horribly-written as to be completely unwatchable. The plots were like TNG plots if the writers had been lobotomized, and so many plot elements didn't stand up to even the most basic scrutiny. Being feminist is not enough to make a good, or even watchable
