One of Patton Oswalt’s Netflix specials has him talking about the tour he did with a really bad magician support act, and how he’d be sitting in the back of the audience laughing like crazy at the magician’s incompetence on stage. But of course the magician wasn’t trying to be incompetent.

I’ve never really watched much of his work (I saw a bit of Tom Goes To The Mayor but it left me cold), but pretty much everything I read about Tim Heidecker’s body of work kind of gives me a headache. It just sounds like too many levels of irony and deconstruction and personas and intertextuality and canons and metatex…

A thought comes to mind, apropos of nothing in particular:

It almost certain that the LW’s correspondent was either the husband, or someone he enlisted to entrap her. That whole bit was too quick and convenient for it not to be.

Hard disagree on letter #1. The husband is controlling, and quite possibly still abusive or borderline abusive, even if he’s not choking the LW (It’s hard to tell without more information.). I’m guessing that a guy like that will find out if the LW sexts with/ meets/ has an affair with another man (The incident with…

One in a million shot, doc.

Similarly assumed BC was a ladyfriend, otherwise there is a non-sequitur.  I assumed proximate text in the message is crucial to the terms of the final question.

Because a transmission is also a car part I guess

Dear Nobody,

Fair, though yes, I think it may have to do with her nationality. (The British use several different phraseologies as well.) I haven’t seen the special yet - hopefully I’ll get to it this weekend. That said, stateside, identity-first language has become something of a sticking point for those of us in the disability…

‘Breath of the Wild’ is a good one for me, because there’s so much to do, and such different levels of engagement; you can go hunting for shrines, collect supplies to upgrade your armour, even just wander the endless stretches of landscape. Or you can do the main quest, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Ronald D. Moore had written for TNG (he did most of the Klingon arcs), so when Worf moved over to DS9, he went over as well. In those later seasons of DS9, he explored all of the issues he’d go deeper on with Battlestar Galactica—loyalty, trust, sacrifice, an enemy that lives among us. BSG was just DS9 with some of…

“Cherokee writer Jamake Highwater (actually Jewish journalist Jackie Marks)“

You can watch it with a VPN on NBC's site, but yeah it's a shame it's region locked. 

I know you might be right, but... can you not?

I know it’s in reference to the celebrity Imagine rendition, but I’d like to think of this as a deep Cee-Lo Green NYE cut.

Has the guy ever even heard Bad Guy? Or Carly Rae Jepsen? I mean, come on, the best four note beginning since Beethoven’s 5th Symphony is her Run Away With Me!!!
