Fair.

This is a good point. Affleck seems like the kind of person that has hit the inflection point of constant media attention being obtrusive, rather than flattering. And that point was probably during his personal problems. I get the sense that he is over it and established enough to not have to pretend to care.

“Noooooo, I told Taylor about my two friends who hooked up,” Gomez wrote, tacking on, “Not that that’s anyone’s business.”

THANK YOU

It is kind of wild that the ultrawealthy disconnected from reality (musk) and white trash (boebert) are part of the same political group. I would normally say the ability to draw such disparate people into the same ideology is commendable, but when that ideology starts and stops at “own the libz” I just can’t.

When I was younger, food “authenticity” mattered to me because I thought it was a way to be respectful of where the food came from. As I am older, it occurs to me that this is tantamount to gatekeeping and frankly I am over it. I like pineapple on a pizza sometimes. I don’t like ketchup on a hot dog. But you know…

To me, this argument reads a lot like the “movie theaters are dead/I love the theater” debate. There are room for both and not every show has to fit into a certain box. I do agree that having stuff like Parks and Rec or Seinfeld is good - low stakes light fare where you can watch and enjoy for a bit. X-Files is…

I know I can (and should) look it up, but I have not had my coffee yet and it just strikes me as kind of wild that you can represent a district in which you do not live. I am sure there are valid reasons for it, but it *seems* like if you want to represent a district you should at least have to feign being a part of…

I realize this may make me sound like a bad person but... I have no desire to watch this. I did not think she was compelling or interesting in Hawkeye. I was either out of comics by the time she was introduced or she was so obscure I did not know about her (I got out in the late 90s) so I have no connection to her…

I never played the games, so I went in expecting a run-of-the-mill Indy/Tomb Raider adventure movie. It was... fine? No idea how close to the games it is, but it was an okay way to breeze through a couple of hours as long as you don’t want to put much thought into it. My only complaint (having been generally aware of…

I know no one is legit outraged by this or anything, but it does seem like a weird choice by his PR team/handlers. Like, he could have done “first time at Fatburger” or something instead as a theme, but instead they went back to this exact well... three times. Given that he tagged the employees once and “didn’t know…

“We’re the party of Lincoln” is the “I’ve got a black friend” of today’s gop.

I can’t tell if it is easy or difficult AF to spend all day every day denying reality.

I think repubs are rightly nervous that a good portion of their base is 1) lazy enough to just vote for the person with the (R) next to their name and 2) too illiterate to write out trump’s name, thus splitting the repub vote of the educated ghouls who want to bring about the apocalypse and their dumb vassals who will…

“Jeez, I prefer democracy to a dictatorship and see that repubs are doing everything they can to destroy this country and its institutions, as well as obliterating long-standing norms in pursuit of holding on to power so they can enact their fascist policies. But Biden seems like he’s not pro-choice enough... so I am…

I normally enjoy this bit anyway and it was nice to see some of Jost’s jokes land a bit harder than in previous years. That said, the inclusion of “Hattie Davis” was brilliant and made me, a white viewer, feel pretty fucking bad on all levels that I had to look her up. Which was a power move and for that, I applaud…

They are indeed both real, though in fairness I think it was Evil Dead 2 where Freddy’s glove shows up. I believe it was a returned favor for having the kids in Nightmare on Elm Street watching Evil Dead.

Purely anecdotal, but I had a boss who I think had a shitty home life. Like, he was a throwback to those Greatest Generation fathers that did not understand their kids or thought that raising them was women’s work or whatever. I imagine he represents at least part of this demo: men so fucking ready to get out of the…

Riverdale S3 spoiler (I guess, if that is a thing, or even a show people on this site watch)...

I think the same thing happened with GoT. Once the internet figured out R+L=J, it took a lot of the wind out of GRRMs sails and caused him to lose interest.
