Eh. Authenticity is over-rated. Very few musicians are truly “authentic” and the few who are or ever were part of whatever socio-economic class is “supposed” to make music like that will quickly stop being part of that class as soon as the become successful. Unless you’re main music consumption comes from listening to…

He’s not Pietro from Wanda’s universe, but he could still be pulled from the Multiverse. It doesn’t even have to be the X-Men one, just that he looks like Peter from that one.

Killing a dog doesn’t make her evil. Michael kicked a dog into the sun on The Good Place and he’s the architect of Eleanor and Chidi’s heaven. That reminds me, I really need to finish watching season one.

Monica is clearly moved when Jimmy mentions Captain Marvel.

Same reason Forrest Gump, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, I Am Sam, etc etc etc were nominated. Hollywood LOVES faked disability. Because “look how talented these abled actors are by pretending to have a condition they have never personally experienced and we have no idea if it’s even accurate because we have no personal…

Man, what do mostly Black anti-racism protesters have to do to be met with police officers who are slow to use unnecessary force?

The luxury Marvel has is they don’t have to worry about confusing audiences because audiences are so into their content, they’ll do research and figure out what references mean and what Easter Eggs they missed.

I mean, what about 3) people piling onto some idiot who said something shitty *and then doubles down and refuses to admit they said something shitty*?*

I know it’s old hat to complain about it at this point, but remember back when the AV Club covered music that wasn’t mostly the same crap that all the regular blah sources reviewed? I remember when the end of year album lists would be full of stuff to discover and albums that went beyond what you could just hear being…

I think I said this over at I09 last week, but I’ll repeat this here:

Both Luke and Leia die of force exhaustion in their early 50s

their mom died from being sad. In her late twenties.

I mean you have to be SUPER fucking rich, like 1% rich, to reap those rewards. Too many middle class people delude themselves into thinking they’re rich enough to benefit from GOP fiscal parties, which of course the GOP loves. If you’re earning below seven figures (and that’s being generous) and voting GOP thinking…

More powerful per projectile, sure, but so is a trebuchet. They’re artillery, so we’re talking either fixed emplacements or something that requires a whole team to move and operate. In terms of weapons a militia man would personally carry. . . it would’ve been a musket. They wouldn’t own or carry into battle weird…

Can we please stop acting like all white people are Trump supporters and racists?

“The phrase I posted does not reflect my personal views at all,”

There is a theory that most of the anti-disco backlash was about how that culture was very much centered on the likes of women and gay men instead of the... uhh... “She’s old enough” ethos of rock & roll at the time.

I was thinking more hip-hop music, but we know where much of it came from...so.... Millie Jackson, Sylvia, Minnie Riperton, and Donna Summer while we’re at it.

You failed to get it straight - here, let me help:

Protecting your personal property is one thing.

You answered your own question with ‘migrants’. Folks coming into Canada aren’t seeking a better life, they’re tourists, they’re here to look at mountains or visit their cottage, possibly bringing the virus with them. The people still looking to immigrate here still can, but they will have to quarantine when they…
