“What you seek is seeking you.” What is Kamala seeking? Home, connection, identity? And how are those things seeking her?

We like it because we don’t find the plot to be garbage.

The trick, such as it is, is that the machine records exactly what steps failed but Taylor made damn certain that information was withheld from the franchise owner, meaning that Taylor could charge big dollars for solving this mystery. The Kytch solution notified the franchise owner immediately with the reason for the

Remember when the AVClub would review classic shows? And would sometimes even go back and review episodes of a show it hadn’t originally reviewed, so as to make a complete set of reviews? Now they don’t even review the finales of zeitgeist shows.

40% of cops can name all 151 Gen-1 Pokemon. Don’t believe me?

To be fair, nobody knows; how semicolons work.

Well, you thought wrong. I know you so damn well that I figured out who you are just by reading your anonymous posts on AVC. You hate wrestling so much, I can literally watch you turn to an icicle at the mere mention of Koko B Ware and The Bushwackers.

I thought my lack of interest in the Fast and the Furious was because I don’t give a shit about fast cars, not anything to do with wrestling. 

It’s funny and also weird that we’re all having the same reaction to this. I truly can not imagine anything dumber than this feud, and I am totally here for it. Why? Is it the guilty pleasure of watching these two torpedo-headed slabs of brisket trade prissy notes over social media? Is it because the F&F franchise

And for others, again, this is all subverting the IDEA of narrative arcs. It’s calling BS on Darth Vader’s redemption, it’s calling BS on Aragorn’s becoming a good ruler just because he was a heroic warrior, it’s calling BS on the general model of seeking a *person* to fix things. The reason Bran ends up as King has

One, it’s not readers it’s viewers here. I read the books, just like I read Wheel of Time, but the show Game of Thrones is a different thing from ASOIAF, just as the WoT show is different from the books. The knowledge of one can be interesting to compare to the other, but canonically they aren’t the same and can’t be

The exchange rate on that one isn’t equal enough to justify. I think we need to see more trans roles portrayed by actual trans people to kinda get over the idea of them as pantomiming another gender. I didn’t even know the actress was trans which I think kinda says something beyond highlighting my inability to clock

The major difference is that many cis women have gotten the chance to tell mainstream stories about cis women, but relatively few trans women have been able to tell mainstream stories about trans women; we’re seeing more and more, but it remains a very recent trend, and Redmayne did it when there were even fewer trans

 I think the idea that a cisgendered person being cast as a transgendered person steals a job from a transgendered person is a fallacy, though.

At this point in cinematic history many cisgendered women have played characters going through pregnancy, and I’m fairly certain those ranks have included women whom, for various reasons, are unable to conceive or even go through biological processes like menstruation. From an audience perspective imo, the real life

Aero the acro-bat

Even crazier is that they left all of the violence in these remasters.  You can murder people in these games!

David Icke is on Gaia. He’s the originator of the “Jews I mean Lizard People run the world” conspiracy theory. Whether Lovato knows or wants to admit it, she’s taking money to espouse deeply racist conspiracy theories. Alex Jones doesn’t get a pass from me for doing that; I’m not going to give one to Lovato just
