My mother is Norwegian and Swedish, and even I sidestepped the Scandinavian shade thrown about.

Actually, so much of the current state of polarized politics is due to overly soft skin on both ends of the political spectrum, and in a world where everyone has a megaphone to whine or shout into.

Skynet will fully activate when this AI becomes the Pokemon champ. This is such a fascinating project!

The cuteness is THE bonus. Sometimes the coolness is the bonus too.

Oooof. Sunkern is a tough sell, because of those stats, but I think even it could be a sacrificial sunny day user to power up another pokemon’s solar beam/fire blast...if you absolutely HAD to use it in doubles because sunflowers make your heart skip a beat. As you said, there are MANY pokemon better suited to that,…

That has been my feelings for a while now too. They are all sort of blending together into just SUV conglomerates with very little imagination, or flexibility to do anything else. Even the new, electric Mustang is an SUV!

Agreed. I think it is high time that Magikarp receive another evolution, but one that is as hard to pull off as OG Feebas.

I love that you think that the planet can sustain humanity another 30 years. That is precious.

The Browns are in a rather precarious position going forward, sans conviction, or not, simply from a branding perspective. From a purely numerical standpoint, the Browns are (nearly) bottom of the barrel, even if somehow they have cut checks for the likes of Mayfield and OBJ. Similar to the Mets and the Knicks, they…

This is an excellent lesson. Making due with what one has, and creating a sound winning strategy is always rewarding in more ways than one.

You might want to step back a bit and simmer on the fact that the cyclical nature of what is cool and in style or highly ranked is highly dependent upon who the tastemakers are of that day. What is popular for you as a kid will return in popularity once your generation claims the cultural means of production, and…

Dear, sweet chestnut, 007 and Bond are nearly inseparable (for now), and like all literary works of fiction, they can be reinterpreted—-especially, when their copyrights expire. Fully expect to see a murderous Winnie the Pooh soon, as that IP has fallen into public domain. It happens, just go with it.

The plight of sweatshop workers cannot really be fully grasped at scale in a Vice article, but yes, Beyonce appears to do not much better than say everyone else in fashion that is not named American Apparel or an haute couture house when it comes to compensating their workers. That does not absolve her, but very few…

No, I get that the NFL wanted him out of the equation (publicly) but privately, they only care about profits, so this is mediation is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, especially if the NFL does not appeal. To them, they will take the L, and perhaps let Watson fall on his sword another way, harming yet another…

I’m glad you have this encyclopedic knowledge of NFL shenanigans because I just have rando tidbits burnt into my memory, and now that Russell+Ciara have left the Seattle, I have no qualms about throwing everything out with the bathwater.

Beyonce bore no ill-will with this lyric and did not intend on pushing some sort of ableist agenda.

Harvard, you in danja, gurl.

These alternate realities wherein bodies like the NFL govern themselves is fraying what little common reality we still have left.

Opus Dei! Have not heard that name in quite some time.

You might be new here. 007 is a code name, so any qualified agent could take that mantle.
