Wah. Wah. Don’t support it. Move on. It’s always something.

I won’t even say how long it’s been for me (years, plural), but my friend got genital herpes from some guy she met on tinder. He claimed he didnt know he had it (mhm). Stories like these affirm my decision to no longer engage in random sexual encounters. Not only is it never that good, but it also leads to these kinds …

“Why had none of the many dermatologists I’d visited ever bothered to tell me eczema herpeticum was a thing?”

No one’s “forcing her to take birth control”. Like ALL other athletes she has to hit the eligibility criteria for the group she wants to race in. How she meets that criteria is not their business. And as the article points out, she has a number of alternatives if she is unwilling or unable to meet the criteria. She…

I’m just going to say this, this is McCarthyism resurrected.

Have we lost the idea of any due process before a person’s livelihood is destroyed?

Women fought in WW II.

This is established historical fact.

The delicate fee-fees of the armchair historians who’ve never cared to engage with the reality of the war beyond saying “I watched Band of Brothers five times” (and no insult to Band of Brothers; I own the Blu-Ray and DVD editions, it was that good) are not a…

Do they though or is it just an assumption people make? Take Wong from Doctor Strange for instance...I don’t recall a scene that indicated he was hetero, bi, or gay.

Though it really ought not be.

One of the things that’s so fascinating to me is that the original term, involuntary celibacy, was coined by a queer woman. And there are lots of folks (queer folks, folks with disabilities, fat people, etc) who do struggle to find love and sexual partners because we live in an oppressive and disgusting society, but…

I’m also thrown by the comparison to RLM and their Plinkett character. Those guys are crass ignoramuses who could trick kiddies and grown-ups stuck at that mental level into thinking they know stuff about movies by throwing in some technical terms.

The “studio-mandated” Part 3 of 2 gets into the details of not only what went wrong with the movies, but what went even more wrong with New Zealand politics and labor rights in the making of them. It’s unsurprising and yet still genuinely heartbreaking to hear, at some length, how poorly the New Zealander cast and…

Yes, I really appreciated the amount of research she did into this series. Her video essays have been really, really good, but this was on a whole new level, and I appreciate how much work she put into not just positing a theory, but backing it up. She has very few nice things to say about the Hobbit trilogy, but she…

Especially America. Barf.

Other than their inclusion of a character named “Black Panther” comics and movies are apples and oranges. Heck, they’re apples and cheese.

Wait, so why do people keep saying the opportunity to replicate the story from World of Wakanda was right there in the film if one of the two characters involved is missing? And why were people expecting Okoye to take over the role of a completly different character?

The books were not good. Sales reflected that. They deserved to be cancelled.

Listen, I’m all for LGBTQ+ representation in media, 100%, but it needs to be done organically. I cannot count the number of films and shows I’ve watched where a character is a.) gay with that being their only defining character trait, or b.) gay because we thought we should add a gay character to be more inclusive.…

They cancelled the book before its third issue, nobody was buying it. So of course it wins an award, haha.
