You know, I’m going to have to disagree with the pharmacy raiding being a “non-necessity.” My husband’s a type 1 diabetic. I’m bipolar. If we weren’t able to grab our meds/insulin/pump supplies/needles in time (which, I hope we’d be able to) or if they got waterlogged when we were trying to get out and up to higher…

Another interesting aspecting of this - if you’re willing to fake a stabbing in order to make Nazis look like besieged victims, there is no way you aren’t, yourself, a Nazi. This guy basically outted himself. He majorly screwed up his life. Sad!

I should have done more to separate two different ideas - I think a lot of fans have wrong ideas about Martin’s books and maybe the show, and also but separately I think the writers of the have a poor grasp on some of what’s going on in the books. For example, there’s a segment of fandom that thinks the story is…

I don’t think you have to be less appreciative of the show’s (and book’s) nuance and subversion of fantasy tropes in order to also enjoy the CGI blockbuster HBO aired every Sunday this summer.

Gilly: Finds out really important stuff about Lyanna and Rhaegar’s relationship.

Visual approximation of what Jon and Dany’s hypothetical offsrping would look like.

There’s a lot of silly shit on this show, but get two actors like Dinklage and Headey in a room and it’s Lannister gold.

I see two possibilities here. One is that Taylor’s constant feuding with other celebrities over petty and insignificant things is all a manufactured act — it was conceived by a marketing team to keep her persona in the news. Which is pathetic.

The military has not historically covered gender-transition surgeries, though President Barack Obama did announce plans for it to begin doing so. That cost would be between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually for transition-related costs, according to a RAND analysis commissioned by the Department of Defense.…

FUCK. YOU.

Lost in the Dream seems to have that polarizing effect on War On Drugs fans. I LOVED it, and thought it was better than Slave Ambient or Wagonwheel Blues (which were both excellent in their own right). Upon initial listening, A Deeper Understanding tops them all. The reviewer’s right—there are countless little moments…

It would be awesome (or at least interesting) if she was owning being evil with her snake emoji persona and her revenge lists, but she’s at the same time saying she’s the victim? Taylor got caught lying about giving Kanye consent to mention her in his song, which reinforces all sorts of terrible race and gender…

‘Do we really think there hasn’t been a single off-script scene where Bran tells them, “Hey, uh, LF kinda started the war of the Five Kings by lying about this dagger, betrayed our father, and is essentially the reason our whole family is dead.” We hear crows when LF comes out of the crypts with Jon, when Arya enters…

yes! the front page with the list of recent reviews is SORELY missed. i hate complaining about revamps but my god i hate this change. And I’m sorry to be commenting on this fact because the review here was excellent.

Jesse — nice review. AV Club — this layout is fucking horrible, the review is squashed into a third of the screen for its opening because of the cast box and your terrible left gutter, it’s a pain in the ass to read. And more importantly, why is this hiding in the Film section instead of being promoted on the front…

Have one of these weird five pointed upvotes

Wow, just look at the smooth conversion of all these comments!

taking a beloved property and giving it a splashy makeover that renders it nigh-unrecognizable, all in the patently desperate hope to appeal to a new audience and extend its lifespan.

I’m just here to complain.

Merging my Disqus account with my existing Kinja account felt a little bit like walking into a teleporter and not knowing whether it would actually be me on the other side.
