I find myself wondering where this will leave Michael Jackson’s catalog, which divorced from these awful (and from what I can glean, credible) allegations, is deeply woven into American pop culture. The reaction to Cosby has been to basically remove his output from any easy way of seeing it, though that is complicated…

Also my son likes to eat salt crystals (not a lot, he just sometimes asks for one to crunch on during dinner).

I mean what makes “finishing salts” different is their texture. If you’re going to stir them into something and the salt dissolves, yeah, not a damn bit of difference. 

Yeah, I remember watching a couple episodes of the first season and going “well, this seems like it is pitched to me, a high school sci fi fan, and *I* don’t like it”. A couple years later my college friends were way into it and I picked it up again when the Mollari/G’kar frenemyship was really getting into gear and…

...but what about the last episode that explains everything?

“there is no actor in Voyager’s cast who is less than brilliant.”

The first I recall was something in the Key to Time run. I think the one with the giant squid.

I will be curious the degree to which the movie leans into or away from the kind of uncomfortable “white guy comes to Arabia and shows them how to Arab better” thing. Like yeah, it’s another planet, but the Fremen culture is pretty clearly influenced by Arabic Nomad culture, so it might be hard to avoid that…

Fwiw I don’t use an ad blocker and I see like maybe 4-5 ads. shrug.

Wait, dragging my laptop across the room, figuring out where to put it, and then reaching around behind the TV to find an HDMI port is easier than literally pushing a single button on my phone to stream to Chromecast? Oh-kay.

Are you really unable to make a distinction between “it’s ok” and “it is tragic and sad and fucked up but understandable and her actions should be taken in the context of what she had gone through for years.”

OK sure, you don’t have to sympathize with *him*, but you can at least recognize that the pain he is channeling is coming from a real feeling place, not just mustache twirling “ha ha! i will destroy the world because i am evil!” I’m not sure I’d say “piece of shit”, but I’d say that he clearly had to be removed from…

I mean sure, but the history of African people being enslaved, oppressed, and marginalized in the US is just a touch more resonant than Ultron’s story. Also the end of Avengers too was kind of a confusing mess (to me anyway, your milage, as always, may vary).

Well, more accurately the owners have made a lot of money during Goodell’s tenure. It is less clear whether he “made it for them”.

Took me 8 seconds to google it, though it seemed pretty clear from context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disorders_of_sex_development

I’ve been out of the “looking closely at baseball statistics” game for a while, but I had thought there was some evidence that players who relied on speed rather than “old man skills” (power and patience) actually age better? Ben Grieve being exhibit A. That’s based on some vague recollection of some studies I read 15…

Dear Penthouse Forum. I always thought these letters were made up...

I mean, it was the 10th highest grossing movie of the year...

Are you offering?

Well, I can’t scoot down a heavyweight boxer on my ass...
