That entire episode of Classic Albums about Aja is high comedy and also highly entertaining. Donald Fagen raps at one point. Fagen on Steely Dan's 'sound': "I like jazz…and I like fake jazz….and I like fake fake jazz"

Six minutes ,Dirtbike Milksteaks…

Considering the current cultural/economic crises, I'd really like it if we stopped it with medical and police procedurals. I don't care how gritty, dark, or real they're supposed to be, it still seems kind of tone deaf to hear the media reporting all this shit about police corruption & abuse when it's bookended by 6…

Yeah, for all my bitching it's not like I didn't play through dozens and dozens of various RPG rules abortions as a 12-year old. I can't claim it wasn't realistic on that front.

Exactly. If they're going to openly court D&D nerds, why not put in the effort to make those two minutes just not infuriating? They don't have to play by the specific rules or anything, but the suggestion that the DM just tells you the meat of the story, (and the players were entirely unconcerned with loot) is so…

They killed that fucking hydra and then Mike just TOLD them the rest of the adventure. "You cut off the hydra's heads, return to town and are hailed as heroes and there's a medal ceremony!" A ceremony? WHAR MY TREASURE, BITCH BOY?!? You think I'm playing this shit game to listen to you tell stories? That's not how…

As a socially anxious motherfucker, this is why Uber/Lyft terrify me. Most cab drivers are just suffering through their day job like anybody else, and will happily take a ride in silence, whereas I get the feeling that half of these part-timers see it as part-time work AND some kind of fun social exercise. Fucking…

Yeah, I'm aware that my opinion is in the VERY tiny minority on this one…it seems like one of those things where maybe if I had just watched it on a different day, in a different mood, I would have had a completely different response.

Steve was a sliver away from date-raping Nancy, helped spray paint that she was a slut all over town, assaulted Jonathon and broke his property, and hung out exclusively with two sociopaths. Did he break from that behavior occasionally and apologize? Sure, don't all abusive assholes, in order to maintain their abusive…

I think it missed the '80s nostalgia mark by filling its universe entirely with miserable, unlikable people, but since everybody else seems to characterize this show as 'fun' I'm obviously in the minority.

Yeah, I really didn't enjoy Stranger Things all that much, and wanted to come in here and spread some hate around, but I was completely disarmed by that adorable picture.

That is barely a smile she's got going there…..Hong Kong Tatler demands exuberance!

You did listen to the song, and read the article right? It sounds like "So Fucking Old, Lame and Unhappy" would be the perfect title for this project.

Up until 5 minutes ago I had always assumed it was a supermarket brand. My sparkling water game is weak.

A few weeks ago I randomly stumbled upon the existence of the Prince Hall Freemasons, the predominantly black arm of the Masons. I was doing a random search for the old '60s dance the camel walk, but that's also apparently what the Prince Hall Masons (and similar groups) call their entrance routine…and every video I…

De-mystifying nut milk: put nuts and water in your blender and push the button furthest to the left.

Some of my best friends are ketchup.

In hindsight, I think the most effective tag may have been to just go with "Black Lives Don't Matter", which keeps the argument/issue exactly the same, but can't be confused, or corrupted as any kind of call for special treatment, and might serve to keep the discussion focused on specifically how the black American…

Interesting point. I think the satanic panic of the '80s stands out because people seemed to believe in these comical packs of Satanists despite any hard evidence and would claim they were actually regularly killing people, but I suppose that's really not much different than '80s small-town bigots assuming that all…

Nuts. My mom was a chiropractor, and at those times she was specifically looking for and ostensibly treating numerous female victims of ritual abuse & repressed memories. On the surface that's hardly the kind of thing to be critical of, and I'm sure she did lots of positive work, but she was also a pretty hysterical…
