He doesn’t need it to be in public domain. Weird Al’s work doesn’t violate copyright (because parody is fair use, and he’s obviously parodic), he just prefers not to upset people, since his intention isn’t to actually mock them. The “asking for permission” thing is just him being nice.

The production is very good; being Penguin Classic editions they are already held to higher standard, IMO. I believe some color correction has been done, the art looks a bit darker, so I don’t think these are scans of the original prints. The paper stock is matte, not glossy, and is heavy quality. There isn’t much in…

I never understood the group consensus that Chris Pratt represents some specific Evangelical evil. It sounds like his church operates that way at an organizational level, but HE strikes me as a kind of “apolitical centrist” type: complacent with his privilege (which certainly sucks, to be fair), but not actively…

Auto-correct is cheaper than copy-editing.

This sounds exactly what I’d expect someone who got rich off their erotic Twilight fanfiction to be like.

Her career seems to be going well, so I hope she has a really good therapist. As expressions of trauma go, “I can’t talk about certain things because I don’t want to ruin anybody’s career” is almost as bad as being on a first-name basis with EL James.

Good work, Hattie. You certainly copied-and-pasted the heck outta that media release.

the Illuminati—consisting of a bunch of fan-favorite cameos from beloved superheroes and actors, as well as Black Bolt of the Inhumans.

Whenever they get around to making a real FF movie, assuming that Krasinski is indeed not cast as the “real” Reed, they should still have versions of him pop in through multiverse portals every so often only to be immediately killed in increasingly absurd ways.

These are not fake cards. They’re official jumbo sized promo cards that are included with some boxed sets or as purchase bonuses from other related Pokemon products. The reason these are “technically” legal is that the TCG puts no constraint on the size of a card. And since they are officially printed TCG cards, just…

It’s written for the hook of ‘Planet Fitness is offering free teen memberships’, so it’s teen-focused.

Where does it say “only”?

I thought the same, but some of those actually do seem less than raving. Flat and stake-less plot, cooke cutter villain.

for sure, only pop culture sites desperate for material would bother publishing them...

Aren’t these BS Twitter reactions almost always marketing crap that the studio lets get out early.  You never here about how bad a first screening of a movie is these days. 

“Additionally in his statement, Cosby claims to have spoken with two jurors following the verdict, who told him, “You didn’t deserve to be in this court.””

This is clearly Cosby’s version of Trump’s man-who-came-up-to-me-with-tears-in-his-eyes.  Many people are saying that.

I KNEW he was making all that stuff up!

They’re also clearly setting up Young Avengers and something like the Thunderbolts.  

If you listen to the podcast the emphasis makes clear she thought (or Cooper thinks she thought) he deserved “THE NOM” but nothing further than that

For old fogies who can remember this, like myself, the scariest episode(s) of Sesame Street were from 1970, when Mississippi’s PBS station committee banned the show from the state network’s inaugural broadcasts period because the show’s integrated cast and neighborhood setting were deemed unsuitable for Mississippi’s…
