I do like the idea of the show doing a sort of How I Met Your Mother where the actual killing of Eve happens in the final moments.

I’ve long argued that imperial measurements are generally nonsensical and terrible and the metric system is far better. However, a particular hill that I am willing to die on is that Fahrenheit is a much better system for describing weather. The outside air temperature has next to nothing to do with the boiling point…

The distinction between the two is among the many things that the Simpsons taught me.

I watched the original It (which I guess was actually a TV miniseries or something) for the first time when I was in college and it is absolutely terrible. Like laughably bad. I love Tim Curry as much as the next guy but it is not the least bit scary and yet people my age who saw it as children always seemed…

I always thought it was interesting that, because it’s the title track of the best selling album of all time, no one really thinks of Thriller as a Halloween novelty song, which by basically any definition, it definitely is.

Isn’t that snail thing just the plot of It Follows, which came out in 2014?

It’s interesting to me that, when I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s, it seemed like pop culture was mostly using Southern California slang, from Valley Girl to the Ninja Turtles to Clueless. Whereas this is mostly NYC / Long Island slang. I don’t know that it means anything really, just observing.

Oh I don’t actually know if he considers that dead-naming or not - just meant to say that it must be SO much more complicated to come out as trans or non-binary after already being famous for many years and having a lot of work out there under your “old” identity. 

I think that’s exactly right, it will just take getting used to. I definitely went through (and am still going through) the same thing. And it’s extra weird when it’s a person that’s been in the public eye for a long time. Like I can’t imagine what it must be like for Elliot Page to be dead-named by millions of DVD…

Just using they/them as singular IS the movement. That’s how language changes. I think it only confuses our brains at first because we’ve been taught that languages have immutable “rules,” when in fact that couldn’t be less true. If we spoke early modern English, your comment could have been about how you couldn’t get…

John Walker was a dud

At first, I wanted to be shocked that the show casually hit someone with a bus like that but then I remembered the time they didn’t know how to wrap up the “Carl’s obsessive girlfriend” storyline so they just had her ostensibly murdered off screen and never spoke of it again.

Personally I always hoped for a Boy Meets World / The Wizard crossover, to fully embrace the Savageverse.

Hmm is this a good idea? I have no real idea but isn’t it increasingly likely that we’ll need to record booster vaccinations on it in the relatively near future?

I qualified for the vaccine because I’m technically obese so thank you, Krispy Kreme, for making sure I qualify for the next one as well.

As a person who pees standing up, there’s no way I can use a toilet without basically covering the rest of the bathroom in microscopic flecks of pee. So you’re welcome for peeing in the shower, anyone I share a bathroom with.

Fewer attempts to make progressive politics seem like an artifice for evil.

Hey folks, consider that not everyone can use a knife or spoon or traditional tools for physical or neurological reasons. These are accessibility tools.

... what year is it? Did the Lifehacker staff all quit too?

Now I’m in the elevator industry and about once a week I get “I bet that has its ups and downs.”
