Vegas is a terrible place for a GoT con. Sure, Dany and Missandei cosplay will work, but so many characters are in heavy coats lined with IKEA rugs. Seattle would be the ideal location, as you can pick a date when it's likely to be mild 60s temperatures out. Not too cold for the fashions of King's Landing, but…

Instead of fighting Manchin we should be granting statehood to DC and Puerto Rico and making Dems campaign hard there (although I don't know too much about politics in Puerto Rico I know DC leans left). Not just because we want to save issues we care about, but because they deserve representation. And I haven't heard…

There's one more option not brought up here and it might have more support than either one of those despite the fact that no one's talked about in a while: grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico. Both places would be very likely to elect Dem representatives, but also both places absolutely deserve representation in…

With this new witch-hunt style legislation in Texas I think women should be able to sue fertile sex partners for emotional distress if a condom breaks. There’s so much existential dread added on top of sex with this bill, I don’t think it matters whether or not the sex resulted in pregnancy.

It’s early September, still technically summer, and it’s hot out. Why must we still ban clothing that has exposed shoulders? I can conceive of a dress code that restricts things like hate symbols on clothing (I actually had a friend in high school forced to change for wearing an anti-swastica tee which felt like…

Funny how it’s a matter for the courts when someone knowingly exposes someone to herpes and lies about it, a non-fatal but sexually transmitted disease. But some people claim it’s their right to walk around in public without a mask and spewing Covid, which is fatal, germs into the air.

Man, what an elitist comment. There are so many filmmakers out there trying to put out a movie however they can, calling it “fake” is kinda shitting on their hardwork. As if just because a movie comes out on the big screen makes it good, well, pretty sure "G-Force" was on the big screen. A theatrical release is more…

It felt like Jake knew the sort of experience Judy was in for and how little he deserved it. Jake, of all people, knows that prison real bad.

I have been holding onto some stuff for a friend for the last 5 years (he moved a couple hundred miles south). Everyone has told me to just get rid of it. This friend is a bit touchy and weird about his belongings so I have just grumbled and kept it. That is, until today, dear reader. The man finally agreed on me…

*At least six.

Believe me, I feel ya. I'm a Punisher fan. Frank Castle would deliver swift justice to all those racist cops that beat up protesters while wearing his symbol, but he ain't real.

No, I’m referring to the subreddit The Red Pill, which was a major gateway to misogyny, hate, and pick-up artistry for a decade. It’s where the seeds to the modern incel movement began to truly bloom, and as a result some of horrific violence visited on women in recent years.

It must be weird to revisit a franchise that is such a symbol to a certain group of assholes. Obviously the Matrix is way bigger and has more broad appeal than those groups, but if it were my movie I would be tempted to pause halfway through the movie and have Neo turn to the camera to say “The red pill is not a…

I'm sure ballet flats are worse than some heels, but for my pain threshold I can wear them all day versus the heels I've owned I haven't been able to wear more than three hours unless they're less than 2" and probably a boot.

Yeah... if I'm going to screw up my feet and ankles I'll do it in ballet flats. I can run away in them, even on sewer grates and gravel, and they come off and on quickly. 

Um, Nicole Kidman grew up in Australia. Reference the 1983 masterpiece “BMX Bandits” for proof.

Sure, but of all of them, Burton actually had hosting experience with Reading Rainbow. I haven’t watched Jeopardy! in a long time, and I hear that he wasn’t the best host of all the guests (I will always root for Burton in everything, but I recognize that just because he’s great in some things doesn’t mean he’s great…

I get frustrated by social justice issue Instas when the only action involved is sharing the post. I only ever have my stories viewed by the same 40 people (max, they don’t all look at everything, which is fine), and most of them know each other because I only know people connected to the last two jobs I worked. I’m…

Even if you're buying booze and weed that money is still going straight back into the economy. Spending money on a 40oz is better than transferring it to the Cayman Islands. 

Much like you I live in fear of our eventual robot overlords. I'm about to move to a new city, with new roommates, and I'm wondering at what stage of getting to know someone can I speak to my concerns without coming off as crazy. Any ideas?
