My wife hasn’t played or seen the games or read the books, but she enjoys fantasy shows: producer guy’s target audience. She couldn’t keep track of Foltest, Calanthe (after season 1), Vizimir or anyone else because they don’t have meaningful roles. Their actions mean nothing. Their lines are forgettable. Things that…

Kotaku: This guy is talking shit about the attention span of Americans!

*gestures at all the shittiness of modern society and capitalism*...I mean, apparently you can do exactly those things.

The writing was never great. The show was almost great in spite of the bad writing, and in spite of the very confusing (for those unfamiliar with the lore) first season time-jumps. That a show could be promising despite major flaws in plot direction and writing demonstrates that there was definitely some magic there,…

The amount of cognitive dissonance found in the church never fails to amaze me. 

It really says a lot about the world we’re living in that a woman doing a basic, surface-level feminist reading of video games became such a lightning rod. I haven’t engaged with everything she’s done, but I watched a few of the Tropes v. Women in Video Games videos and it was very mild and friendly. The way people…

Every US company with a few exceptions is chasing profits at the cost of workers and consumers. No US airline has improved service by reducing costs and increasing profits. No US automaker has done so either.

“The only magic mirror I felt like I had was Disney’s Princess Jasmine, though I knew she was supposed to be Arabic, and that identifying with her was a consolation prize.”

Because “small town” is just a dog whistle for a sundown town.

It will do what now? Why would we fucking rewrite what we know about a character that spans 9 god damn books over 3000 pages of lore and a videogame franchise????

Yeah Collex nailed it. Barbie didn’t want to be a couple, but Ken was defined by his relationship to Barbie.

But that’s kind of the point of the movie - that Ken (and by extension, the modern American man) is put in an untenable position where he’s told by the system that his entire worth as a man rest in his ability to get a woman as his girlfriend. He doesn’t even know what to do with a girlfriend, he just needs to have…

“But it’s hard to picture everything becoming normal in this small town any time soon.”

I won’t stand by for this Space Dandy erasure! That show was just as much of a vibe as Bebop and Champloo but...it just didn’t stick to the collective consciousness the way they did.

Once again, conservative nitwits forget that they are supposed to pretend “anti-woke” doesn’t just mean “anti-black.”

I can give a report of my Wife and I, at least. We are in this 30% for sure...

Or she's not dead.

That all sounds a lot more like some theaters were shipped an incomplete version of the film, and now that people have noticed they’re trying to spin it as something deliberate.

“I don’t know what happens when people get corrupted,” says former drug trafficker Tim Allen.

That’s lunch for a grown man working on the chain gang.
