“like why the U.S. government happily handed the shield over to a white guy rather than the Black man who deserved it”

Ted Lasso was much better than it had any right to be and Juno Temple was the best thing in a show full of best things.

My goodness, that opening scene with Ayo and Bucky had me from the start. She’s so good! And him initially fighting back tears in fear of becoming the killing machine again only to realize he’s free and cry out of joy hit so well!

I always thought it was odd he lived in that dream house, with a beautiful wife, a son who owns a factory and lobster for dinner.. Meanwhile I live in a single room over a bowling alley and under another bowling alley.

I take back my other comment. I don’t care about Zelda, or Ace Attorney, or anything else.

You are by no means alone in your assessment. This movie kicks ass.

Even in the Marvel-era, with both The Avengers and Avengers: Endgame being “must see in theaters” tentpoles — and Endgame being the most audience-reaction experience I’ve ever had (very different than 1980s late-night NYC movie-going or Rocky Horror which is by design) — Spider-Man 2 may still be on the list of the…

File this under who gives a shit. 

The Harts ask their hosts mundane questions about their pasts, and tension builds as it becomes clear they can’t answer. The mood shifts from Sherwood Schwartz to David Lynch when Mr. Hart starts to choke at the table while Mrs. Hart, whose smile remains eerily frozen, demands that her husband “Stop it!” Wanda calmly…

This interview is a nice present from the Root.

People voted for George W Bush because he seemed like a guy you could have a beer with.

I don’t think I’ll ever buy this thing, but I gotta love how Nintendo this collab is: it’s not enough to sign off the name of Mario on a normal set that will sell a bunch just on branding alone, they have to do something different or is not worth doing.

I bought this and my Mario seems to be defective. As soon as I turn him on he “dies” over and over again endlessly. Music like he gets hit plays on loop and his eyes shut and then turn to swirls. His existence is pain. He dies over and over until I hit the power button.

This is exactly what I expected in terms of these sets being more for children than adult collectors/builders. I bought the NES set and the starter Mario set at launch (arriving tomorrow!). I will certainly build the starter set and play as my 7-year-old self for a few minutes to experience the features, but after…

Kermit = Hamilton

Monsters, Inc. The best Pixar movie, fight me.

I wish you guys would print these goddamned things again.  I love the feature, but would far rather read it.  I’m a very good reader, old-fashioned as that may seem.

If you’re going to continue doing “Random Roles” and other long video interviews, please invest in a clip-on microphone, a boom mic or at least a mic stand. While I enjoyed watching Lithgow and I’ll say there are some advantages to hearing him in his own words, I got tired for him watching him hold that mic.

Can you please return to Random Roles being written articles? I have no interest in watching these videos. This whole industry wide “pivot to video” is nonsense.

I work one-on-one with college students around topics like building metacognitive awareness, strengthening executive functioning, and curbing procrastination, and I find that a central thesis of just about all of my discussions is that so many of our current anxiety/motivation/productivity issues stem from us living…
