The ABC’s of conservatism:

He seems to be implying that if the person was wearing a mask, they must have a communicable disease and so he felt unsafe sitting next to them. He himself seems bound and determined to make himself as susceptible to communicable diseases as he possibly can and assumes it is everybody else’s responsibility to keep him…

A lot of them are fairly easy to make yourself so you can control what is in them. Barbecue sauces are pretty much all “throw a bunch of stuff in a saucepan and simmer till it is as thick as you want it.”

The Idea Of You star doesn’t know if Nolan was aware of the hate and consciously “backing” her when he brought her on Interstellar

See, this is why you don’t own a bunch of websites that you are doing your best to destroy.

Oh yeah, it was definitely those idiots and not Spanfeller Spanfellering.

That’s right up there with “You like Thai?” “Thai good. You like shirt?”

Gone zombie, like Deadspin and The Root.

He is as much a Disney creation as Luke Skywalker or Thor.

And I seem to have completely forgotten about Children in my initial comment.

The first two were successful enough that Messiah will get made. Whether it gets made well or by Villeneuve is another question and one that Legendary and Warner Bros are probably less interested in, which is a big part of the problem.

The food in those pictures looks like it came out of an underfunded grade school cafeteria.  The lettuce is nearly white, the tomatoes are pale orange, and the bread looks stale. Yuck.

You either left a zero off or that plus sign is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Of course, but this article was written from the perspective of what has happened so far, not what is likely to happen in the future.  I fully expect him to become more accepting and understanding of Japanese ways, but as of now he is still acting pretty ignorant and arrogant.

Definitely. I think the difference is that the Japanese seem much more aware that he is trying to use them than he is of being used by them. Both of them see the relationship as transactional, but the Japanese seem to have a more realistic view of what is going on. It may just be that they have all the advantages -…

I pretty much agree except that he isn’t really endearing or lovable. He’s just a bigoted European full of unearned arrogance assuming that these people are savages because they aren’t white, English speaking, protestants. He considers the Portuguese to be only a small step above them.  Yes, he knows a few things they…

I appreciate the attempt, but not the result.

“Scare” is a bit of a hyperbole. I won’t say it is never fatal, but you literally have to ignore it for years, maybe decades, to die of it. It’s pretty easily treatable with a few different things and it basically never spreads to other organs.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s post when they bite into it and get a mouthful of lead sinkers.
