“he’s still crushing all of his competitors in the Republican presidential primary.”

This is so obviously and purely gloating that these fuckwits may have just cost the Dems the Presidency.

“A BBC article about a mugshot affected an election” is kind of stupid. 

Counterpoint: Thor: Ragnarok is a top-five MCU movie and has the most perfect use of humor in the franchise.

Thank you Giz for not making this a slideshow. 

“…as he mounts his second run for the White House…”

Appearing as a guest at Star Wars Las Vegas over the weekend...

When Discovery brought back Star Trek on television and made these short seasons the norm (compared to the 24-26 episode seasons we got in the 90s), I lamented that there wasn’t enough room for “filler” episodes anymore - episodes that do very little to advance the plot or the characters but where they get to try some…

I think it was actually well composed and succeeded not only as an episode of the show but also with delivering songs that were listenable. I know that often “Once more with feeling” is held up as a standard for this but man are the songs bad in that.

I think that they did a good job getting people into their range…

Data tried to straight-up murder a guy in cold blood, was only stopped by a beam-out and then blatantly lied about it to Picard, and he absolutely was not malfunctioning or under some external control at the time.

You realize that it’s possible to have sympathetic portrayals of bad or conflicted people in fiction, right? Whether or not you like her as a character, Wanda was the protagonist of WandaVision and the show explored her traumas, motivations, conflicts, and ethical shortcomings from inside her perspective.

I think Brendan Jeffers should get a shout here as the doomed Ensign Inman. His two scenes with Babs Olusanmokun were highlights for me.

And hey, Cliff Howard sighting! 

And who”wants” or “needs” something for it to exist? As a mid-30s something, I didn't "want" or "need" a Paddington movie, but I'm happy they do cause they're great! And let's not forget the years of io9 folks going "wHo asKeD fOr aVaTAr 2" before making the kind of money only Zack Snyder can dream of (preferably a…

Yet they took something that no one wanted or needed and made it look utterly fantastic.  Think about that.  It is much easier to do great with an obvious concept but much more admirable to do with a less obvious one.  

The world would be a better place if you dismissed with prejudice the two lampreys latching on.

“I would never tell a kid that because of your race, because of the color of your skin, or your gender or anything like that, you are less of a person or are inherently racist,”

Not who she is or what she stands for, but what her job is, the job that in part was frustrating her earlier in the episode when it restricted her from being part of the away team.

Every American who a) knows there’s a country named Liberia and b) knows what the Liberian flag looks like won’t vote Republican. Really, I don’t know why they deleted the tweet.

Yep. I have no issue with people who personally think it’s the wrong choice, but who won’t interfere with my decision to have one. Biden is honestly just fine on this.

This is the wrong take, from Manson on down. Let’s start with this pearl-clutching nonsense:
