Corny monster.

Look, I ain’t even particularly a fan of Chrissy, and even I know that you don’t come for this woman on social media. Like, fandom is just a step down from the Beyhive.  Chrissy. don’t. play.

Things make the most sense, to me, if we assume the following:

“But what about the real hate crimes?!”

Can we not use antisemitic epithets when describing corruption please?

The people of Chicago would be better served by having the millions of dollars and dozens (hundreds?) of lives their out of control cops keep costing them reclaimed.

On behalf of people in Chicago, we really do want this to end and go away.

I recently took Amtrak for the first time returning home from central IL to east TX. It’s an 11-12 hour drive, a 4-6 hour flight with a connection (or a considerably larger ask for a friend on the other end to come pick me up in DFW), and a ~17-hour train ride. The train actually takes me right to the small town I…

I am also a frequent NYC-DC train rider and I LOVE IT.

Or is it “Tesla does not sell cars via a traditional dealer network, therefore EVs and other non-ICE automobiles should not even ever be eligible for Car of Year”?

I stopped going to theaters as much because it had become increasingly frequent that there would be people on their phones with their bright screens in my periphery, or making stupid comments during quiet moments. Theater staff didn’t care. I only go for louder popcorn movies now, or I wait until it’s on the verge of…

You may not need to, but perhaps you would enjoy it!  In my hometown the theater experience is usually watching unruly teenagers try to break the unoccupied theater seats by breaking them loose from the floor!  I say usually because occasionally it’s the occupied seats.

I just can’t believe Spielberg doesn’t have a notebook full of ideas that “will never get made” because a studio doesn’t know how to market it or want to invest in it or want to bump something else off of their calendar for it. “Filmmakers can do whatever they want in a much freer environment with fewer compromises?…

To be fair, it loses something in the theater too.

Sorry Steven, you’re wrong. The fact is that “TV movies” in the traditional sense barely even exist anymore beyond The Hallmark Channel. I would concede that a film designed to fit the rhythms of commercial breaks and edited for time by default is a very different beast from a theatrical film, but Netflix clearly…

A secondary explanation for the dumbness we find shown in Idiocracy.

Yeah, this is something that I struggle to communicate to friends who don’t work on climate policy (and therefore don’t immerse themselves in incredibly bleak research all day). In my personal opinion there’s no real chance we’ll hold warming to 1.5 degrees, it’s very unlikely we’ll hold it to 2 degrees, and in all…

Solent green.

To top it off, extreme heat stunts the growth of staple crops. If the world warms 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), a level that’s deemed somewhat safe under the Paris Agreement, U.S. corn production could drop an alarming 18 percent. Other countries could also see double digit drops, increasing the risk of…
