“LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!”

Yeah, that’s all well and good, except that a lot of MacFarlane’s jokes cut against the accusers, not the abusers. Quagmire’s whole schtick at the the beginning of Family Guy was that he was a rapist, and how that was pretty fucking hilarious, right guys? His crack at the Oscars—“Congratulations, you five ladies no…

Should Hannibal Buress receive a similar chastising for joking about Cosby’s monstrous acts? Or does the fact that his jokes led to the grand truth coming out rebuke that? Like the rumors about Spacey’s behaviors, I and I imagine thousands of others knew about what Cosby had done way before. The reports had been out…

I’m traveling so I’m behind, but - wait, Mudd repeatedly murders Captain Lorca, and they punish him just like they did in “I, Mudd”, by putting him back together with his shrew of a wife?!?!?!? Am I the only person here who wonders if the Last 50 Years exist at all for the writers of Discovery...?

Well I finally found it, the comment that tries to defend this behavior. I wonder why it took so long for someone to try and defend this shit. Cynically, I think it’s simply because it’s not between a man and a woman, so there’s just no one waiting to use “she was asking for it/what was she wearing/furthering her…

Considering that the basis of Pizzagate is people reading emails along the lines of “boy, I’m sure looking forward to enjoying some of your great pizza, at the pizza shop you run” and deciding that if you substitute “little boys” for “pizza” you get something damning, no, it does not.

MacFarlane knew about a specific incident because he had heard about it from the woman it happened to. She asked him not to say anything about it and he respected that, other than injecting a few indirect references into his work. I don’t see how he did anything wrong. It certainly would have been a terrible thing to…

Well, let’s see, does it still involve thinking that a cabal of evil globalists conduct ritual child molestation in the privacy of a public eating establishment, disguising the fact that they’re molesting people inside a pizzeria by using the extra-secret codeword “pizza”?

Can’t believe I’m about to defend Seth Macfarlane but here I go:

I’m really confused. What did you want Seth Macfarlane to do exactly? I’m assuming he knew about it from the rumors that we’ve all heard for years now. It’s a bit hypocritical to be criticizing him on a former Gawker Media site. Gawker ran blind items…

Every day there are new revelations. It’s like watching pus being squeezed out of a boil the size of Jupiter. Hopefully this keeps up and the infection is fully drained. Kudos to Anthony Rapp for standing up and letting people know. He didn’t have to, and he’s helped push the unmasking of all this twisted shit forward…

“I’ll list the usual suspects”

“Siri, please list non-extradition countries I can fly to tonight” - possibly overheard at Bryan Singer’s house

It seems he did have some reservations, after all

This might be a good place to ask the AVClub brain something that has vexed me: What is a good term, label, etc for the 60's European pop aesthetic that includes movies like Danger: Diabolik, smooth flugelhorn jazz by Ennio Morricone, bored French girls with cigarettes go-go dancing in sweaters and boots?

Wikipedia Wormhole is one of my favorite features and I almost didn’t see it due to the AV Club’s new and shitty layout. I wonder if there are other features that I used to enjoy which are now buried way down the page after they’ve been up for an hour. Maybe this site is actually still producing lots of good content,…

I’ve seen a couple of people mention “the apocalypse” or “apocalyptic scenarios,” but I’m going to flatter myself that “the end of the world” is in a category all by itself. There’s something about the idea of all of humanity’s accomplishments—not just the human race (which is bad enough), but all of the art,…

Thank you. Here. Have an un-star.

The pods are expensive - only your higher class office type places with a lot of middle management layers and people hanging on for retirement would have them because let’s face it, nobody’s going to buy them for the whole office so the supply budget has to be pretty high. HVAC contractors, warehouses, stores, machine…

I vividly recall poor Days Of Our Lives’ Carly being put in some deathlike state, then placed in a coffin and buried, whereupon she regained consciousness.
