I liked the artwork on Everything Will Be Alright in the End.

The White Album was more than okay. That was a rock-fucking-solid power pop album. It might be my favorite record to come out last year.

This may be quibbling, but that felt more like a shitty retcon than continuity. It just seemed like the writers' half-assed way of tying in the plot to the previous three films, rather than something that actually built on what came before.

I love Craig as Bond, but he basically just glowered for two hours straight in Spectre. Granted, the writing was shit, but by the end I was ready for a clean break. I hope they get some fresh blood behind the camera, at least.

Continuity was really only a thing for Casino Royale and Quantum. The timelines of Skyfall and Spectre don't really gel and they don't do much to continue previous arcs.

I've noticed that every time Trump has one of his more pronounced trainwreck moments that at least one person in my feed will make a preemptive comment to the effect of "Lots of people showing off their moral superiority on social media today." Every time I want to respond with "Yeah it sucks being confronted with…

I have a feeling after Trump gets the boot those kids aren't going to be seeing too much of "grandpa" anymore.

Boyega would be a genuinely cool choice for Bond. Good call.

Walter White was repeatedly portrayed as, if not heroic, then at least badass, or cool. The writers only wrote him as monstrous when convenient to the plot.
Generally they very much tried to have it both ways.

I think you could make a case for the slave owners (and Trump) eventually starting to believe their own bullshit. It started off as a political tool, but grew into an ideology that even those in power eventually bought into.

Well said.

I feel like Trump learned loyalty way too late in life. He has a history of fucking over everyone he's worked with. Now he's in the White House and he doesn't want to say bad things about the only people who still support him, even if a sizable portion of that group are literal Nazis.

Yeah, last thing we need is for him to become a martyr. Let him go down in flames and die old and alone and in disgrace.

It still looks like the most likely outcome is Trump resigning, though. When Mueller really starts to turn up the heat, Trump is going to back out in a last-ditch attempt at self-preservation. He'll frame it as a win, though, and his supporters, being desperate morons, will buy it. The one thing that worries me is…

Fallon gave a fairly heartfelt rebuke to Trump last night for Trump's response to the violence in Charlottesville. I know some might consider it too little, too late, but we need everyone to speak out against this.

I feel like that method only makes sense at prom.

My liberal arts professor's surname was Awhellnah.

That's a fair point.

They love perpetuating the myth of equality, though. That way, if someone's poor, it's their own fault, and if a black man got shot by a police officer, well, he shouldn't have smoked pot that one time two years ago. If we all start out on equal footing then asking for anything more is asking for special privileges,…

Yeah, I feel like if he'd said the same thing on Facebook there'd be a little more ambiguity here. But he intentionally sent the memo throughout the company knowing full well it was going to ruffle feathers. That stupidity on top of his already wrongheaded views made his firing all but inevitable. I'm going to…
