This bit actually killed me when I saw it.

Oh my God, this totally reminds me of this time we decided we needed to throw an intervention for our coworker Mark. Then Kate told us that we should do it at her house. We initially demurred, saying that it was too far, but she insisted. Saying it was a total party house, and it would therefore be the perfect…
“How come nobody has considered that he meant ‘I would advise white people to stay away from black people’ in a non racist way?”
I’ll wait for the didgeridoo version.
I know you are joking. but in 1963, “zombie” still just meant somebody under a spell in Haitian folklore. The modern idea of a zombie (as a mindless former human that attacks humans in an animalistic fashion) originated later as a fan-nickname for the creatures in George Romero’s films (starting in the late 1960s),…
“Would you like to buy some Itchy and Scratchy money? It’s money that’s made just for the park. It works just like regular money, but it’s, um, fun.”
That’s the one that caught my eye. I can’t imagine they sell too many of those. “Sir! How would you like to demonstrate what a sucker you are? Your kids will love it!”
If you’re a fan of The Last Of Us you may want to steer clear of the menu items featuring mushrooms, including the Mario Burger
Oh, and you can buy a Mario Kart popcorn bucket for $42.99 if you’re so inclined, minus the popcorn (though you can get it filled at kiosks throughout Universal Studios on the day of purchase).
Shut the fuck up, chud
Beyonce has won more Grammy awards than any other artist. I don’t understand how not receiving the award in one category, while winning in others, is a snub. There is not snub! She won, lots. Move on.
Hi — over the years these two have been the shining example of “good relationship goals” in terms of loving each other, supporting each other no matter what, letting their children be who they are whilst loving them, and loving the other person for who they are:
“Anyone anywhere in this fandom who gives Bella Ramsey a hard time over her casting should now be firmly shut up because she was phenomenal this entire episode.” Is this a thing? I’m ignorant of any sort of controversy. Bella Ramsey is pretty awesome.
“But I hope in the future, Mazin and Druckmann resist the urge to make every installment a mini-movie and just drive the story forward.”
Excellent episode. It was very exciting and very moving. When Ellie cut her hand to give blood to Sam, my heart broke, and I said out loud, “That’s not going to work, Ellie.” Before that, a knockout action set piece. Never played the game but I could imagine you’re Joel trying to shoot these fuckers before they get…
“Padding”. It’s basically 40 minutes of well-written, well-acted and important character stuff followed by the biggest action scene the show has had so far. If this is “padding” I don’t want the show you’re looking for.
The separate the art from the creator isn’t particularly thorny about this one. Rowling had no creative control. The devs actively made the character creator trans-inclusive and included a trans character, as a rebuttal of Rowling’s views she started tweeting in 2020. Yes, Rowling will get some residuals (a pittance…
Unfortunately it turns out he's into it...
Of course the performatively centrist take still lands on the side that trans people and supporters are the problem. Weird how that always happens.
