Ya know, there are a couple of Beijing/Kremlin folks that usually weigh in as the topics go this way.  I wonder if the Giz-family needs to step up their game so as to become influential enough to be worthy of shill notice again?

That’s why THIS Pope being wrong about this is a let-down. He seems to have his head on mostly straight, and it’s doubtful that he’s been warped like that in the back of his mind.

Peace plan for Ukraine:

Very much so.  They could have even ended that quick skit with “And I am not a witch!”.   Random 2010 thing there.

Whar is my Chris Evans vs Christian Bale - Cap vs Bat?

That could go.... very badly, if you wanted to keep down your lunch.

Mz. Izzo, I notice that on your stories, there are never any comments that are “editor’s picks”?

How many Skarsgards do we need?  Answer:  All of them!

Someone else pointed out the idea of AVClub not covering SNL for a weekend.  What would be the consequences of doing that?  Does the SNL story bump up engagement with AVClub significantly?
