Yeah, it’s totally disingenuous to call someone who does stand up comedy a comedian. Where do these people get off?

For me the point is also that while yes, I believe that there is a spectrum, that spectrum does still bind all these behaviors together. And it’s the more “harmless” actions that really mess with our minds if we fall victim to them. They might not seem that bad, we feel like we shouldn’t get so upset and maybe the…

Man, the last time I went to a haunted house they had one section that was supposed to be from The Purge, and they had us standing in a room while some dude in a mask was railing about whatever and threatening to shoot us in the head. I found that to be the most genuinely upsetting part of the night, not scary in a…

I really think that once somebody has won an Emmy for a role, that should be it, they don’t get to win again for future seasons. Spread it around.

Yeah, I thought the whining over the Disqus transition was overboard, but man, this new system has really made me not want to engage much anymore with the AV Club, and that makes me sad.

Where does this idea that the hotter the guy, the less it’s harassment even come from. Icky is icky, and even a hot guy who just whipped it out and forced me to watch him jerk off would fast become not at all hot to me. It’s a really ridiculous and insulting assertion that it’s not harassment if the guy is attractive,…

I cannot wait until Sam has to have an awkwardly diplomatic chat with Jon about the latter’s new lady friend....

It was starting to feel awfully after school special though

Well, I think most people’s “not great to the opposite sex” phases are usually more along the lines of not returning a phone call or saying something mean, maybe even cheating or breaking someone’s heart. Not whipping it out and making someone else feel threatened and icky.

Glad I’m not the only one. Before I’d finished the first sentence that song already started running through my head as my eyes got a little misty.

I never got to see an actual Bozo taping, but I did get to see the studio once. My mom and a friend were going to a Donahue taping with some famous baby doctors and they took their babies (my sister) and me along. They were the only ones who brought kids and I was pretty bored out of my skull, but after the taping…

That kiss in Kelly's first scene is still the most beautiful kiss I've ever seen on film.

My favorite as a kid was Hot Shots. There's just a bunch of random shit mixed in with the credits, like recipes and lists of things you can do after the movie, but it had us in tears as kids. I caught the end of the movie not long ago and it still cracked me up.

Yeah, that was really obnoxious that the show seemed to be on Carrie's side for that behavior. I will admit that I have struggled all throughout my 30s with being waaaaaaaaay less financially stable than friends or family (buying a house is something I cannot ever fathom for myself), but I would never even think to…

Didn't they say something in the first episode how everything can be cured now? Maybe it's just really advanced medical technology, which could also explain why guests are in less danger even when roughed up in the park?

I'm so torn on this because I adore the show and the ensemble so very much, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to enjoy it as much, given our new reality. Maybe just retool it into a fantasy spinoff where Richard Splett and Ben take down Trump.

Thanks! I think those of us who work on battling food insecurity and supporting sustainable ag are really gonna need all the help we can get. All the progress that the USDA had made in supporting these goals is likely to be undone very soon.

There are plenty of aspects of this election to protest that don't involve protesting our system of government (though I have found the electoral college to be complete and total bullshit since I learned about it as a kid).

Yeah, this is why I think we just need to stop using racist in these types of discussions. Move away from describing it as a personality trait and focus on people's words and actions and how they may be hurtful or insulting or demeaning. Actions can be changed and forgiven rather than an internalized facet of one's…

Mais non, il y en a parmi nous qui ne sont pas si cons que ça!
