This sucks. And hurts. My father loved Clapton. Worshiped at his alter of guitar playing to the point of handcrafting his own amp to duplicate the amp Clapton used on the legendary John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album. Owned multiple Strats, of course. Could play pretty much any Clapton solo note for note.

When one of my good friends from high school finally came out to us it was an emotional thing for him and us all. After the tears and hugs and such my other friend said bluntly to break the ice “We always sorta kind of suspected but based on your terrible fashion sense we figured you were just really bad with girls”.…

I like some articles, I dislike others. But I’m of the firm opinion that absolutely nobody changes in response to nasty comments on the internet. If someone wants me to do something differently I’ll happily give it a shot if I’m approached respectfully. If I’m shouted at in the classic “die in a fire” brand of…

The left tone-policing itself has turned the Democrats into a moderate conservative party. The right absolutely doesn’t give a fuck how they sound to anyone else, but ostensibly left-leaning politicians are terrified about it and often end up negotiating against themselves. Obamacare was carefully crafted to be as…

Nearly every civil rights gain in this country happened in part because white people were afraid of some worse boogeyman. It was a core part of Malcolm X’s effectiveness. I don’t think it’s terribly cynical to say that police reform doesn’t happen in this country without the vague, implausible threat of total…

 Lol hush now loser. The grownups are talking. 

Why on Earth would I care if a movie is economically responsible? 

‘Acknowledging you’re working in an exploitative system bars you from every having thoughts on the working of that system’ is a hell of a take.

The whole "work for hire" yet rampant exploitation of creatives in comics has been a huge discussion for decades, so, y'know, it's not as simple as you'd like insomuch as calling it "pointless."

“Should he be getting royalties from Deadpool movies and TV shows? Should he be listed as co-creator alongside Rob Liefeld? Should future projects carry “This work is inspired by the stories of Joe Kelly” even if they’re not direct adaptations?”

For realz. He’s fan fiction for boys who aren’t happy that Batman isn’t a murderous asshole.

Meh. I think that’s an oversimplicatuon. Lots of comics characters end up being shaped by more than their “direct” creators. Deadpool was laughable trash until he was taken over by not-liefeld. Basically everything that people know and like about deadpool is Joe Kelly.

it’s almost like that’s what ‘mixed feelings’ means.

Uh.... opinions may vary on that point.

Fifteen years ago, I rode an elevator with Rupert Murdoch. There was no one else on it. I briefly thought, “hey, I could murder Rupert Murdoch now and help the world.” There’s no way in hell I would have gotten away with it.

That’s quite a lot of gymnastics to get to “negative reaction.”

I mean by the standards of clickbait bullshit, “FOC: The Snyder Cut Is Good” doesn’t seem like it would cut it, because it doesn’t seem especially contrarian, based on the range of reviews I’ve read. But, then again, now that the definition of “clickbait” has been revised to “any opinion that makes a dipshit…

“Every scene is directed the same way, as though it were taking place on Mount Olympus: A wet mop hits the floor like Excalibur, while a sesame seed plummets for a small eternity during an at least relevantly slow-mo (and restored) introduction for Miller’s neurotic speed-demon rookie.”

On topic- You guys maybe wanna re- grey seven-deuce? It’s just nonstop trolling bullshit. It doesn’t add to the conversation and it’s not even a difference of opinions. If someone wants to ungrey it fine, but just to let it keep posting this crap?
