Vegemite/Marmite is truth. Literally takes half a pea-sized serving to blow your mind.

Got pulled into a dark alley by the cops once and one of them explained, “Your car is really dark and it’s night time and you’re changing lanes a lot. Also, I think I smell marijuana.” At that point I was sure they were going to put a bullet in me just to be sure, but the partner called in my license and told him to…

BazBake wonders if it’s too much to ask for parity in movies about women in general, considering women tend to purchase more movie tickets than men and the sudden drop in film attendance over the last five years is DIRECTLY attributed to the disappearance of the 10% advantage women had over men in movie ticket sales.

S4 is the anti-S3. It’s like they realized how moody and hopeless and villain-driven it all got and decided to embrace more overt and pointed social commentary.

Evil Piper was pretty good character development. Looks like they’re going back to Flanderizing her again with that “step backwards or forwards for equality” line.

Why is it that when people of color or subsets come up with a term, someone jumps in to say, “I don’t want to use it. In fact, I think the REAL version of those people want to use the version of it I do. WHO’S WITH ME!!!!????”

Twice as hard, half as far, as my mom would say. Franklin’s obsessive perfection is a pretty on-the-nose character trait (actually, This is Us handles the subject pretty damn well, although it could be based more on the adoption thing than the race thing).

“This neighborhood has me shook.”

They’re Quesada-ing.

RDR used mechanics that made more sense for being a cowboy — bronco busting and steer-wrangling.

Thinking about the brutalizing of Asian bodies in Asian settings, this is actually the basic premise of Lucy to an uncomfortable extent. I often point out that Hollywood seems to not have its finger on the pulse of moviegoers because Lucy is a movie starring a white woman with a primarily Asian cast of characters, a…

First: Yes.

“The choices we thought would be exciting and the choices we didn’t want to make vaguely overlap, but clearly it’s the choices we didn’t want to make that are the problem instead of the choices we thought would be exciting... even though there really weren’t any problems until we made the choices we wanted to make.”

We were assholes as kids. Me and a friend of mine played She-Ra but wouldn’t let any girls play with us. In our minds, She-Ra was for dudes, Barbie was for chicks.

I have Marvel Unlimited and I can’t be f****d to actually read the comics I’m paying for after this last crossover.

Because it never came up. As a Texan (where it’s too hot), you either wouldn’t be stupid enough to use that word in public because I think you sure as hell know better, or you’d get ripped hard on it and learn fast.

This is the same Remender who had Havok give a speech equating “mutant” with the N-word because he wants a post-racial society, then had Scarlet Witch actually turn to the “camera” and give a speech about how she refuses to accept her mutant identity because she feels it doesn’t define her.

And statistically 4-10% of those individuals didn’t do it (based only on the ones we bothered to go back and check). Now, here’s hoping those two boolean circles don’t overlap too much while the state is busy murdering folks.

You also can’t spell “pumps and a bump” without pbump either. This isn’t particularly relevant to the conversation, but I felt left out and where else were shade, pbump, and Oakland going to coalesce in so timely a manner?

But JC Penney needs people who locally will buy the things they sell. And the people in coal country don’t have money to buy things. So JC Penney won’t get built.
