We’re going to apologize for decades of racist portrayals of non-white people by....replacing them with monkeys!  

I was in a Staples today and realized they have a little “co-working” area in the back, which I later looked up and is called “Staples Studio”.

I read once: if you walk into an office and don’t know who the boss is, just look for the tallest, whitest man you can find.

That tells me more about who you watch than about what female streamers are doing in general.

That channel is now called “HLN”, and because of the name it took me years to realize that it had become just a huge pile of trash.

I just realized that I never knew the name of the song that is obviously “Oye Como Va” now that I see those words.

I have my subscription to Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ through the “Disney bundle”, which is paid directly to them with no middleman. I don’t know what the breakdown is on how many subs are like that.

Look, I’m no fool.  TWO nothings, or I walk.

I love this, and had the broadcast of it saved on a DVR for years.  Main complaint is that MTV couldn’t be bothered to record it in HD.  In 2007!  I had HD, why didn’t they?

Also, extra points for the super-English name. I’m adding her to the English Lady Name Honors List, where she joins Camilla Luddington (Tomb Raider reboot series, voice and mocap) and Tuppence Middleton (Sense8).

I don’t think it’s a mistake -- it’s supposed to be an amusing turn of phrase:

That episode is just brilliant.

What’s great is that even though “folksy bumpkin turns out to be able to outsmart the city folk who underestimate him” is, let’s say, quite a trope, it still works fine if it’s done right.

By the way, terrible headline. The “scam vids” referred to are not videos that are a scam; it’s videos about a scam, which completely reverses the implication of the headline “Former Faze Clan Guy Pressures YouTubers To Pull Scam Vids With Millions of Views”.

Comic fans would like to show you the “Bam! Zap! Pow! Comics aren’t just for kids any more!” collection. (Now that I think if it, this may actually be over, but I wouldn’t put it past USA Today or someone to still be at it.)

At least the article lists the movies! Now, my complaint is with kind of headline (which io9/GMG certainly didn’t invent, but I fucking hate it), which assumes it knows what I know, or need to know, or will or will not believe.  You don’t know me!

Along with that Quicksilver page, I’d like to mention that at the end of his first (?) ST:TNG tie-in novel, he explains Wesley Crusher in a page and half and gives us a great perspective on the character we see on screen. Paraphrased, his father (Beverly’s husband, of course) died in action pre-series, and Wesley has…

Unless you’re watching on a laptop, there’s a video connection somewhere.  (I mean, even on a laptop, there’s a video connection, but you can’t get at it.)

“I didn’t even note the absence of a romantic subplot while I was watching, and you know what? I didn’t miss it at all.”

“The film very cleverly uses and repeats call backs to those big Natasha moments...”
