I am totally here for this hot take. Pyre’s story is fantastic, asking a “how do you balance friendships with greater causes” question in a really unique storytelling style. I found the core gameplay a little clunky and frustrating, but beyond that it was great. Hades had a somewhat similar approach to dialogue and…

Then he got an idea!
An awful idea!

Got a Wonderful, Awful Idea!

I vaguely remember an exchange between the Second Doctor and Jamie about that. This isn’t a direct quote, but it went something like this:

Charlie Brooker spent many years “making fun of the immediate past” with his Screenwipe specials (both pre- and post-Black Mirror). The mockumentary angle seems to be his attempt to put some emotional distance between this dumpster fire of a year and his usual, scathing commentary and like others, I feel that it’s…

Yeah, I read that and my cringe factor just went to 10.

When Batwoman cast a black woman as it’s lead, did they hire any black writers? Because that’s the only way that title doesn’t make me cringe at the prospect of where this show is going to go.

Twitter, like McDonald’s, should be a sometimes food.

maybe...I’m still holding out hope that Trump has pissed off Andrew Cuomo enough that he has resolved to spend any amount of money to put Trump and his family in jail for their crimes (but mainly as payback for mocking Cuomo while NYC was getting crushed by the pandemic, and then telling Cuomo he’d throw him a few…

I think this is still in play.  He could definitely slink off to Mar a Lago and never return (hopefully thinking the NY AG can’t track him down in Florida).  Once the Supremes (hopefully) tell him to stick his appeal up his ass I’d say this becomes a strong possibility (while of course never conceding to let Biden…

He would need to build that wall to have writing on it ;)

Yes. This is remarkable, imo. You’d think he would want to escape to his safe space.  Just goes to show how much he gets off on conflict.

I still think he’ll go to Mar-a-Lago for X-Mas, tweeting all the way, and not come back. Pence (maybe?) will hand the keys to Joe and Kamala on Jan 20, 2021, while Trump holds a rally on the same day.

1. That’s not how gaslighting works

“Definitively proving” masks “work” to slow the spread of Covid would be unethical. All we can do is rely on what data we do have available, all of which shows that masks seem to be effective at reducing transmission. On the other hand, there is zero downside to you wearing a mask, unless you are one of the very rare…

Wear a mask you fucking clown. I’m surprised a science denier even knows what an app is. Go actually read some scientific literature you imbecile.

Where are those silos of popcorn kernels? Nowhere near the wild fires I hope. 

I didn’t know Billy Crudup was even up for an Emmy (first I’ve heard of The Morning Show tbh) but this means both Doctors Manhattan won last night.

This was a movie and book that fascinated me when I was in middle school. I loved the tension of exploring a derelict spaceship at the ocean floor, and I loved the science-y jargon that accompanied each reveal - up to a point.

I completely agree! I am also a semi-hardcore completionist - I did 100% both Odyssey and Origins, but I had a method to my madness with it as I expected this bullshit from Ubisoft. With both games, I did nearly all achievements and around 80% of the map, left it, came back to the DLCs and for fun to round it out I…
