I don't think he's endorsing a gay joke. It's Tommy Lee. Not only is his music anachronistic, but so is his speech, demeanor, jokes - everything. It's funny (or funny-ish) because Tommy Lee is so fucking clueless that he still says things like that.

It seems to be a growing trend:

But everybody suffers trauma and the death of family members. The arts can be an incredibly powerful tool that we use to explore our feelings and relationships to those around us. This goes back to prehistoric times. To warn people away from these experiences takes away something of what it means to be human. That…

I don't think he's ranting about GOT, which can go over the top for many people's tastes and sensitivities, but the practice of colleges and universities applying it to the Western cannon of literature. And THAT is something that we should not chill out about.

It wouldn't be so complicated if there wasn't a culture of putting professional athletes on pedestals. I know that Oprah has been a supporter of gay rights for decades, but this whole thing reeks of "Finally we have an openly gay football player, and this will convince America that gays deserve equality because…

Yeah, at this point I think we can all agree CDs are low theft priority. But - if you ever get a new CD with that stuff on it, just take the case apart at the hinges and you can pull that sticky wrapper right off with no residue.

12 years? It said "LIFETIME of listening enjoyment." Unless….. oh my god what's today's date?!

Same here. Why? 1) I think they sound better than most digital formats 2) I believe in the importance of ritual (opening the case, putting in the cd, etc) I have shit that I downloaded for free that I've never listened to

Tigershark is the just the kind of C-list non-supernatural villain that would be awesome to see on this show.

Yeah, to me, Nu-Metal or Rap metal seemed more like some MTV marketing ploy than anything else. I remember seeing these VJ's saying things like, "Oh my god, now we have rap AND metal in the same band and it's NEVER happened before!" Completely ignoring Beastie Boys, Anthrax, Chile Peppers, 311, Faith No More, Rage…

1993 has gone through a lot of revisionism. Your average rock fan listened to Seattle bands and metal, be it hair or heavy.

Who's gonna rat him out? She already knows Ser Barristan's identity.

I'm wondering if that's going to happen. We don't know the outcome of that separation, and it could be that Dany and Jorah are just going to be reunited at the big battle that's supposed to happen at the beginning of book six (assuming that's the battle that happens). I wouldn't be surprised if the writers skipped it…

That could go a lot of ways. Tyrion and his father, or if that happens earlier, a particular scene with Varys.

Dany's in book five, yo. I'm really happy about that. I also think that this season has spiced up the books in ways that I hadn't hoped for but am really glad to see happen.

Be careful what you wish for. There's a reason the new book is taking so long.

I'm thinking a quiet contemplative drama: two young lovers are separated. We follow their lives as they settle down with someone they don't truly love, watching years of small disappointments negatively affect their careers, friendships, and relationships with their children. Finally, the woman, now elderly, goes to…

Can anyone under 25 do ANYTHING without their iPhone?

You think Black Widow drinks Stolichnaya?

Jazz had a giant bias. I'd still recommend it, but with the caveat that everything after 1959 be taken with a grain of salt. And you can skip the last episode where it's revealed that Wynton Marsalis "saved" jazz.
