So black people are a hive mind? One black person comes up with a theory and it's forbidden to ask other black people if they agree? Interesting. And for some reason it's only white people who ever throw down opinions like this. Rather than ask black people their opinion I should do research to understand why one…

I also find it annoying how white anti-vaxxers are white people influenced by privilege while black anti-vaxxers are apparently influenced by fear. For starters, lots of white anti vaxxers are clearly just fucking idiots and not necessarily Jessica McCarthy types, and meanwhile lots of black people have the same…

Serious question for any black commentariat- are you actually scared to take the vaccine because you have read some of the horror stories about black people's experience in the medical field? Does this extend to other areas? Like would you be afraid to get a lump checked out or go to the ER for a broken arm because…

Tenth in deaths but look at its population, and also consider its the most populous developed nation which, let’s face it, are the only ones keeping accurate tallies. You can rely on China and Russias numbers but I’m sure they are bullshit. But anyway, fine, Trump is solely responsible for 300,000 of the deaths, not…

My comment is nonsense, but the US did better than Italy which had some extreme measures. And better than the UK. Hmm....but sure, Trump, with no power at the statw level, could have saved 300,000 people.

What does that have to do with the past? I believe he had no vaccine plan because he's a garbage person but I stand by my point tray pretendjf Trump is the apex of the problem is likely false and there's no reason to suspect the stubborn ass people in this country would have shut down just for Trump. It disregards so…

You're free to believe the people in places like Arizona and Montana would have happily shut down if Trump asked them to but I think that's naive. You don't have to have a visceral emotional reaction over my opinion. It's possible to just be like 'huh I disagree'. And a quarter death toll? Not even countries that went…

Why have the last four years turned every ostensible adult into a ranting baby? Good lord you people need to listen to yourselves. My point is fair comment- for as shitty and dangerous a job Trump did ultimately most of the actual action was within the power of the States which weren’t going to shut down just because…

You sound like another kid who was never told no by their parents and can’t handle hearing anything they don’t like, so they kick and scream and have a little temper tantrum to make the bad words stop. How did someone with your lack of emotional resilience even make it through the last four years without throwing…

Blaming Covid on Trump is incredibly naive. He did a lot of harm but most of the tangible power to regulate and shut things down is at the state, county and municipal level.

What a farce for Barsanti and Co to have turned the AVClub into a rage-bait click farm and then proclaim they're above it all. It reminds me of how they used to have daily newswires about Amy Winehouse and then after she died they tried, with a straight face, to scold us over our voyeurism.

In 1998 people still bought CDs and this would have been a Clearchannel approved song to play on repeat. Financially you could have probably done a lot worse for yourself then to have had their success.

Calling Trump the worst administration in history is absurdly short sighted. Andrew Jackson pushed legislation that created literal genocide against Indians. Bush Jr caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, directly and indirectly, destabilized and entire region, and created trillions in debt, in order to go fight a…

Damn, you really wanted to bang out a newswire so you could get to lunch, eh?

“I only have so much outrage in me.”

I have multiple friends who have done much, much worse. Two of my 41 year old friends are married to women 15 years younger than them and everyone seems pretty loving and fine with the situation. Getting angry over a 12 year difference is insane and basically is a demand that art not reflect real life but instead…

By saving I assume you mean mining bitcoin, the premier currency of our simulated reality 

A multi verse makes sense as it’s the only way to explain the prior absence of mutants. An easy cheat would be to have it so the widespread mutations are simply happening later in the universe the MCU exists in. Maybe a 50 year old Dr. X has been watching and quietly starting his school. And maybe Deadpool gets sucked…

Full disclosure he’s actually not a great writer but he has a way of sucking you in with bizarre plots and ideas. I read him a ton as a teen and when I reread some King more recently I wasn’t terribly impressed. But the first third of the Stand is the best depiction of society’s slow crawl into chaos during a disaster …

My sense from reading comments here and in the Facebook group is that not being familiar with the source material is basically a prerequisite to liking the show. I can see it being novel enough that one would be intrigued, but you’re blessed to never know how badly they’ve fucked it up.
