I may not be completely on board for robot car overlords, but I’m definitely down with cars that measure the distance between themselves and override the idiot driver who tailgates. I wouldn’t mind all traffic signs having some kind of electronic signal that tells the car they exist, so cars can force people to stop…

You know how presidents always look old and tired after a couple of years in office? He looks so bad already that I can’t imagine what he’ll look like in another year. He’ll probably look like Jabba the Hutt wearing a necktie.

Sir Ian is a cheeky lad. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was pulling Graham’s leg just a bit. I’m sure he doesn’t think he’s the only person who will ever portray Gandalf onscreen. He didn’t get all shirty about Michael Fassbender taking over the role of Magneto, though admittedly he hasn’t played that part quite as…

Ugh. Just stop making documentaries about people who are still living, no matter how awful they are. Don’t give them any more publicity.

I wonder if you’re giving the other women too much credit. Could their expressions represent something else, and none of them even thought of the ‘but he’s an accused child molester’ argument? Maybe they just wanted her to shut up, or they’re trying to act interested when they’re actually bored.

This trend of men being fired or ‘stepping back’ from their jobs/businesses due to complaints troubles me. It isn’t solving the problem. It’s not going to change their behavior if most of them are serial sexual harassers/abusers. It’s not going to change the behavior of other men. It’s probably just going to put a…

The practice of mutilating animals to comply with some arbitrary breed standards needs to stop. I would like to see all the breed and show organizations drop cropped ears and docked tails as breed requirements, and eventually I’d like to see modern dog and cat shows go the way of elephants in the Ringling Brothers…

Has it not occurred to anyone that My Immortal could have been written by a whole group of people rather than one single individual? That would certainly explain the misspellings of names and inconsistent plotting. The inconsistencies and errors suggest to me that people were adding new material without collaborating…

I don’t know if this is true everywhere, but I experienced liberal women (and men) who didn’t want to vote for Clinton because they didn’t like her. At least one woman I know didn’t like her because she didn’t kick Bill to the curb after Monica Lewinsky. That’s it; it wasn’t Clinton’s politics, it was because a…

I think the big chain cinemas in the US would do well to add 21+ showings for some films. I’m tired of sharing theaters with parents who assume that all animated films or superhero films are only intended for young children. The cinemas could have family-only showings for them. And I agree that I don’t know why…

Where are there 21+ cinemas? Because I would support those if they existed in my community. I just had to watch a movie with someone’s child loudly asking questions throughout the film a few days ago. Why don’t parents teach their kids to whisper during movies anymore? I realize you can’t do that with a 2-year-old,…

I didn’t find this episode as problematic as you did. But what I’d really like to see when the show comes back is Ralph investigating the framing of Barry and actually doing something useful. He can still put his foot in his mouth and be insensitive, but use the fact that he’s a detective. He tried to convince the…

I dearly wish I could convince my mother-in-law of this. She’s 85. She doesn’t need more stuff. She doesn’t understand what we like, either, so we usually end up purchasing gifts for ourselves which she then reimburses us for and we pretend to be surprised by being given them on Christmas. It’s all completely…

I’m not happy to hear about the sheriff’s department deportation record. But I still wish that I was still a resident of Texas, just so I could vote for her (and then I would immediately move the hell away again).

Every week I think that Legends can’t possibly get any sillier, and almost every week they prove me wrong - in a good way. Plus they’ve now managed to make me need a box of tissues handy two episodes in a row.

Two things bugged me about last night’s episode:

They were convinced by the conservative rhetoric, but more importantly, I think there are a lot of voters out there who still judge Hillary Clinton because she didn’t kick Bill to the curb after the Monica Lewinsky affair. I personally know women who didn’t want to vote for her for that reason alone. I also believe…

I do a little cosplay myself, far from her level, and I know that feeling. My answer is, I’m in it for fun, not to compete with people like that. I don’t have friends who know how to sculpt or do electrical wiring, or a workshop where I can make armor with Worbla and a heat gun. I don’t compete, I just hall costume.…

Russia.

I’ve been wearing contact lenses for nearly 30 years, and I would not touch a pair that had just been sitting in storage for that long. Even stored in sterile saline solution that is regularly replenished, it’s possible for bacteria or mold to infiltrate the case when you open it to add mores solution. Plastic cases…
