Alia Shawkat is fantastic. If the show had been focused on Maebe rather than Michael from the beginning it would have probably been twice as good (and I thought it was great).

Hey, upside is I can continue to enjoy Shawkat’s work guilt free. Season 3 of search party remains unsullied.

Bad and lazy take. Listen to the audio. Jessica Walter explains through tears that Tambor verbally harassed her to an extent no one else had in 60 YEARS on the job, and Bateman and the other guys talk over her about how it actually is understandable because acting is “such a weird job,” the creative process, etc.

the anti-Musk wave hit quick and everyone’s jumping on. I honestly don’t know where it came from.

Did you watch the “Muslim neighbors” episode, which was pretty much straight up racism for its 23 minute running time?

Maybe you haven’t been paying attention, but the people in charge of the country are utterly loathsome. It seems like a good time to loath.

Pretty bummed Sick Sad World didn’t make the cut, though Bizarre magazine was basically the same thing.

Blasto! The hanar Spectre “with a lover in every port and a gun in every tentacle” who is the lead in a series of movies in the Mass Effect universe. The films (or the clips we hear from posters) parody the Dirty Harry and Lethal Weapon films: in Mass Effect 3 there’s a poster for Blasto 6: Partners In Crime, in which…

Great. Another idiot who doesn’t understand what “tolerant” means. Here’s a hint: It means tolerating people for who they are innately, not tolerating their repugnant views. Especially when those views are actively harming other people. For example, I’m not gay or trans, but I try my best to treat gay and trans people…

He says he’s doing it for parents and their kids. The fans he’s angered worry that he’s selling out. …

It’s things like this that make me embarrassed to be a dude that plays video games.

Hot Shots Part Deux is a treasure. There are so many amazing gags. There are plenty of terrible ones too, but here are my “gets me everytime” list:

“Who are they?”

“Topper, I can kill again! You’ve given me a reason to live!”

These men have taken a supreme vow of celibacy, like their fathers, and their fathers before them.

But if you think you can hurt me again, you’re wrong. I left my heart in my other pants.

I mostly agree with the piece, but I detect the author slightly turning his nose up at the “anything-for-a-laugh” movies that came after Airplane. Some of my absolute favourite spoof movies are from that era, and I don’t think there’s anything necessarily wrong with prioritising the yuks over “character” or “theme”.…

Are you real? How can you say the hyper-sensitive shit you do on the regular and then turn around and complain about not being able to assign the word “hysteria” to a group predominantly composed of women? I’m not saying not to use it in general, just to be conscious of the context. Please stop.

Today when Prince Ruprecht flipped his lucky quarter, it landed on the “be dismissive of those who think words can hurt” side. Who knows which side he’ll be on tomorrow?!

Like a lot of things these days, there’s a straightforward meaning that’s pretty understandable (albeit mostly relevant to fan fiction communities) and another meaning that dumb people on the internet repeat to each other.
