This is a fantastic feature, and I wish it appeared on a more regular cadence

those of us who already had a social conscience, meanwhile, are basically being torn apart from the inside

Well it's complicated. Originally, 'zombie' was a strictly Haitian
thing, and it meant someone who was brought back from the dead to be an
eternal slave. Then ol' George Romero came along with his living dead,
which eventually people started calling 'zombies', I guess because they
were mostly mindless. And then Return…

I actually think of the "Feels Just Like It Should" video, which I used to watch in a loop

On the "Wicked Games" scale of Sexy Music and Videos, this rates about a 2, which makes it about as sexy as Blues Traveler's "Run-Around"

Have we all forgotten about Prince so soon? https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Ariana Grande won my heart the day she licked a doughnut and said "I hate Americans"

Well, I think it's worth understanding that even in the event of global thermonuclear war, most of us would survive for years. We would just be slowly starving to death while we watch civilization collapse and our entire species die out. I think the clock-setters are saying that's the kind of future we might be…

Carl Sagan claimed that large-scale nuclear warfare actually could destroy our environment, via nuclear winter, aka the sun getting blocked out by debris for a long time, making it practically impossible to grow food anywhere on the planet.

The Doomsday Clock is supposed to estimate nearness to catastrophic civilization collapse. Yes, for the majority of its life it has been concerned mostly with nuclear warfare, which is definitely still a problem — Trump has the ability to start a nuclear war and a demonstrated disinterest in why that's not good. But…

This makes me wish there was more Trump/Obama interaction footage

Well, he plagiarized his short film, which should really be a complete career-ender, I don't care if you're the best and coolest guy ever. Then instead of being genuinely contrite, he got all playful about it, stealing quotes or performance art pieces to make insincere public non-apologies. He's managed to keep…

Here's how terrible this video is:
They're talking about Shia LaBeouf, and the story they tell is that this successful actor who was getting a lot of blockbuster roles suddenly started doing 'weird publicity stunts' because 'he wanted the world to take him seriously.' Completely omitted: the plagiarism scandal that…

Geez, I hope not. I've eaten sushi before…I'd better at least think Hannibal needs a new fish guy

i was not aware of this, and it is excellent

This is true. LGBTQ has been a major political force for decades…Trump can only do temporary harm to them.

The worst part about wanting to pretend Trump doesn't exist, is that he's attention-starved and constantly wants to make a spectacle

Hmm, I don't remember that… I'm currently rewatching the series and just finished season 2, so far nobody has impugned his vegetarian dishes. (He also served supposedly-meatless meals to Bella Crawford, who wasn't willing to eat foie, and Dr. Chilton, who had to watch his meat intake after Eddie Izzard stole his…

The ending of Whiplash is so hard to square with the rest of it that when I think of the movie's themes I kind of subconsciously neglect the ending. You make a good point.

Only one of those is a major motion picture. And it's not the one you were hoping for!
