I really thought the politics of this episode was kind of stupid. The whole conclusion of “conservatives will agree to ban guns if women start using them” is the kind of thing you’d have to be incredibly insulated from actual pro-gun viewpoints to believe. Gun-rights advocates broadly encourage more women to own and…

Virtually everyone abandons logic and reason all the time. We’re not designed to be logical beings and most of us can only pull it off if we try hard to, so I personally don’t really give a shit.

I find it funny how this article is basically just dunking on the Hot Ones videos, but at the same time all of the related articles are promoting various Hot Ones videos.

What did you bring for me, daddy? 

Atheists are the second most oppressed group in this country. Gamers are first obviously.

Yeah but I don’t think super-common styles like wayfairers and aviators ever really went out of style. They’re both way old now and have kind of just stuck through all that time.

All of those are more forgivable than this one. That behaviour was kept out of the public light until recently. Singer has had public accusations going back to the 90s, and there was even a documentary about it in 2014.

Isn’t it great how she presents a daytime TV show targeted at women?

If I was being given a new job in an industry like this, and I was told I was working with a director, I’d probably at least check out their Wikipedia page to know what kind of stuff they had made before and what their background was. You don’t have to go “digging for dirt”, you just do the bare minimum of seeing who…

I also thought that, and that they often deliberately obscured ones that didn’t pay to encourage others to cough-up for advertising next time.

Yeah, I get bands wanting to get their money’s worth if their song is used in a major film or something. That’s their actual work that they put a lot of effort in. But who would be such a tight-arse that they demand huge sums of money just to have a photograph of themselves appear in a movie?

It’s pretty fucked up that it took winning a Golden Globe in the MeToo era before Singer started to get attention for all of his myriad of accusations. Just like with R. Kelly, this stuff was already out here in the open for years, and nobody cared and just kept giving him work anyway. Rami Malek got asked about this…

I have little sympathy for Megan Mullaly or anyone else who associated with Trump pre-2015. Trump was a huge piece of shit in 2005 too. By this point he had already started Trump University, became known for not paying contractors and had plenty of racism in his past (like his housing policies and his NYT ad calling…

I’m pretty interested in politics, and I think it’s good that Chance is trying to help get more people to think about their local elections where a lot more decisions that actually affect people day-to-day are made, but I still don’t feel like I know much about Aldermen or the system of Chicago city politics after…

Maybe it’s just because the image quality is so low, but it’s really hard to say for sure from looking that that is a beard. It really just looks like a smudge or a weird shadow on his cheek.

Jesus, I remember reading these in the early 2000s as a kid and it saying on the books back then that it would soon be adapted into a movie. I guess “soon” is just pretty subjective. Nice to see it’s finally getting a release, even if it did take until I actually grew up to do it. Also, wouldn’t really call Artemis…

I don’t know why this is being called “live-action” at all. Like, Beauty and the Beast was live-action. This is just animated as well, but in 3D instead of 2D, and with a style closer to Dinosaur than a normal 3D Disney film.

Because it’ll entertain people? Making money is also a pretty important factor in choosing which movies to actually make, and this one is going to make a boatload of it.

That doesn’t make any sense. Stewart’s “chance” was being surprised by a college student at a speaking event who said he read on the Internet that Louis CK had mastrubated in front of women. There were zero credible sources on that at the time and no named accusers. I don’t know what anyone could possibly have…

The vast majority of vaping is with nicotine, not weed. While vaping is probably not as bad as smoking tobacco, the issue a lot of people have is that it’s also way more geared towards kids who often don’t realise how addictive it still is.
