And performed entirely in English.

Confession: I liked them when I was younger, and kind of still have a fondness for certain songs. The difference is that when I was younger I didn't pay too much attention to lyrics, whereas now I can't help but notice them, and there's just too much teenage no-one-understands-me-angst with too little underpinning.

They're generally considered to be nu-metal. I love them both dearly, and there's a solid case to be made that Tool doesn't fit the description, it's hard to say Deftones' first album is anything but nu-metal. It's great, but to me it definitely falls under that category.

You know, everyone is always criticising Donald Trump's ridiculous hair, orange skin, tiny hands and so on. But no-one ever talks about his grotesque, octopus-rectum of a mouth. I swear every time he forms an 'o' sound it's like his lips are trying to escape the body that's forcing them to spout bullshit 24/7.

Same. Like, there's nothing intrinsic to the sound of modern country music that is off-putting to me, and yet so much of it is crap. And not just the middle-of-the-road cultural runoff that most genres produce, but genuinely unlistenable garbage.

I feel like this article is to progressives what dog whistling is to racists.

And it ends with them not even having stopped the spread of it, if I remember correctly? Like they're managing to sort of contain it but still having to deal with it spreading across the city.

I thought it got off to a rocky start, but the last ten hours are the best 24 has ever done for sure. Chapelle, the hotel, the school, everything.

I've written about this before, but this is definitely more of a fitting place for it… I'm not that type of person who immediately dislikes something for its politics, but I actually think Season 4 is one of the weakest of the lot, for this reason. All seasons of the show had the torture element, to some extent, but

Oh, poor you. Navigating this byzantine system where insulting someone is considered bad form.

See, it's saying things like 'Despite being correct' and 'I have… intelligence' that's the problem. Pretty much all you've done so far is belligerently insist that you're right.

Since you appear to be channeling the voice Sherlock Holmes in all your comments, let me give you a piece of advice: It's cool when he talks like that because he's solving mysteries. When you talk like that in an attempt to lord it over someone on the internet with a 'wrong' interpretation of a book, you just sound

It does have a bit of a last-episode-type quality to it… My guess is that it was deliberately placed here to make up for the abject horror of Shut Up and Drive.

I don't think I've ever seen fear and anxiety conveyed so well on screen before. That was an incredible performance.

We have his family yelling at him that he's a 'sick, disgusting pervert' so presumably its something along the same lines as Kenny and the other guy.

I pretty much instantly assumed he was a pedophile based on how things were at the beginning, but the episode did a good job of balancing setting up the twist while simultaneously casting doubt on it so the kid's behaviour could believably have been an overreaction.

Overall I wouldn't put this episode up there with the show's best but there were some pretty great touches:

Cool, which part are you from? I'm not Taiwanese so my reading of things are probably somewhat off, but to me it seemed like something that any government might want to do to, if they were hypothetically in the kind of situation Taiwan and China are in. Even thought it might not be that important when it comes down to

The last two episodes have been decent, if a little bit convoluted - I feel like 'S+J work for gangsters', 'S+J caught in two countries' propaganda war', 'S+J fight evil fracker' could all work as standalone eps in and of themselves.

As a big fan of all Maynard's output, Puscifer making an anti-Trump video is fantastic to me.
