Can you imagine a car company doing something like that today? Circumventing a bad review by just... going to geographical places where that review would most likely to hold the least amount of weight? It’d be impossible with the internet. There’s really no such thing as regional advertising like that anymore.…

Damn kids are living the dream.

I don’t think covering his mouth with his hands was inherently done to hide moments where he breaks. It’s just a physical gag for the character. I can remember many times where Hader wasn’t breaking, yet he still covered his mouth. Just a weirdly funny physical tick.

Exactly. They don’t let Hader read the Stefon skit ahead of time, so he’s reading it for the first time on the prompter.

Except, you know, a family.

Only in the Stargate universe.

No.

Do you think Pence was confused momentarily when he heard Rippon’s Mother was going to be on CNN?

That would be one of the ones that isn’t reissued anymore, to be sure. If you were to read one story, read The Color Out of Space. That is one of the best, most famous, and least racist. He is somewhat important, in that many of his concepts have become part of the horror/sci-fi canon, and have been endlessly reworked…

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone claim that Lovecraft’s racism is irrelevant to his work as a whole. To individual stories, sure. Nothing stands out as racist about The Colour out of Space (really his best story) and there’s no direct link between fear of racial others and fear of the unknown in the more abstract,…

Lovecraft has had a resurgence for two reasons: he’s one the greatest American prose writers (yes a racist, but at least a genius in addition to that unfortunate fact) of the 20th century (see Graham Harman’s recent book about HPL’s prose) and his work was created before modern copyright so that any idiot can (and…

“The Ballad of Black Tom” was a much better examination of racism in the U.S. through the lens of Lovecraft’s horror fiction, but I am still super excited for Jordan Peele to crush it with Lovecraft Country.

Lovecraft deserves his resurgence in popularity because he had been ingored for a long time, and when the current wave of adoration dies down a bit, he will simply be properly entrenched in the American genre fiction canon (which should be taught and taken more seriously as a rule) as a moderately singular and…

Lovecraft’s racism is part of his paranoia and fear of the world around him, while I can understand if it’s not to everyone’s tastes to deal with it, it’s wrong to take the stance that he has to now be ignored and stricken from pop culture.

I came here specifically looking for one.

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

“calling the Iraq War ‘one of the greatest foreign policy mistakes in American history’”

They weren’t arrested for a crime.
