Man, that “very first” in the tweet is ominous when you think about it. Not even merely the first time he made someone disappear, but the very first.

It’s an accessibility thing for me, for sure. I can take my contacts out and watch a show before falling asleep, and glasses are annoying in anything but the prone position. I really don’t see much difference between a TV across the room and a phone I’m holding 8 inches from my face in terms of the intended…

It sounds like it would still be pretty priceless to an adult because of the recording, but that quote about not thinking she would come back seems pretty odd for an adult, unless “she” refers to the recorded voice of her mother, I guess.

I love the fact that you included the transcript. It was timed perfectly for me, watching the first part but scrolling down to find a transcript of what was being said just as I might’ve otherwise clicked away.

Slightly different, but I’m also sick of people starting every post with “I’m not sure who needs to read this but.”

You missed a half-dozen utterances of the phrase “hockey man,” as if that were a blistering insult.  Mostly incoherence follows.

Who is the she you guys are referencing?  Did something get edited?

Not getting a Simpsons reference?  That’s a paddling.

I guess I am sort of referring to a few different things. I’ve been watching Mrs. America recently, and it seems like Phyllis Schlafly as depicted is clearly in charge of her life, but she just as obviously acquiesces when her husband desires sex, regardless of her desire. This seems gross to me, a woman divided…

I agree with the fact that it’s awkward construction, but they didn’t even really include that bit in the article. I’d have just gone on assuming she said she was simply “not a feminist,” if not for your comment.  I get where she’s coming from, even if I see the issues with it. Some people are going to accept the…

I appreciate the nuance here, but I’m not sure you landed on the right note.  They’re also apparently being relatively transparent about all the different angles that comprise their decision to do this, which is pretty refreshing.  We all do things, even good things, to achieve a desired result that benefits us.

To be fair, you’re thinking of it from our perspective.  Elon Musk would be a technocrat in a technocracy.  Of course he likes the idea.

I’m not paying for anything that advertises, however infrequently.

Living with you? Uh-uh.

“Sudden senescence” is pretty funny.

The scene they cut with Beverly D’Angelo is so good. I remember it from the book, how it was both frustrating and admirable.

Well, I’ll let them defend themselves if they choose, but I’d like individual obits and a page linking to them. The site redesign has helped, but I still miss a lot more articles than I did in the past.  

It really didn’t read to me like they were complaining about individual obits, only that a list of them would also illustrate the gravity of the situation.

That seems like it would still fit the standard “born in ‘82 or before” definition, though. I’m in my mid-30s, born at the very end of 1983, and I don’t really remember a time before the internet outside of vague early childhood memories (and even then, it existed outside of my awareness). My dad was an early adopter,…

I think Woody Allen’s grooming of his stepdaughter is enough reason to not want to support him, and I still think Stephen King has a point.
