Wait, how is it bragging about something to say that you oppose the death penalty? In the vast majority of cases, despite my best efforts to articulate my point, it’s gone over terribly and made me look horrible to the people I was saying it to, mostly because I don’t argue with people who agree with me. Likewise,…

It really seems like people are being willfully obtuse about concerns about cancel culture. It seems very similar to death penalty arguments I’ve had. I’m ardently against the death penalty, and I’ve had many arguments with people who seem to think — and sometimes outright say — that the reason I’m against the death…

It was like right there the whole time. I guess it’s funnier because it’s Borat, though.

I ended up trying to watch more of The Devil All the Time, and I was asleep within 10.

Stricken by insomnia and Bly Manor releases in 20 minutes?  Uh oh.

I couldn’t tell if the typo was “on” instead of “in” or “hat” instead of “that” until I read it like four times.

He also used LOL and then explained it parenthetically, the monster.

Those fanatical free speech extremists are just the worst.

It’s funny how the word fan is so divorced from fanatic that people are only talking about the fact that it references stalking as evidence of it being pejorative. We generally regard fanaticism as an alarming trait.

I streamed all of Happy Endings within in a week or two a few years back, so it’s a little fuzzy to begin with, but watching this clip made me realize how forgettable the character who was going to marry Elisha Cuthbert’s character was. Is he the dude in the scarf, or is that a guest actor?
I also remember that as…

Despite being a huge fan of Obsidian typically, I didn’t make it very far in the base game. It felt either unfinished or just poorly designed from the very start, where I had to shoot explosive barrels in an enclosed cavern like an idiot when I should’ve been able to just move them. Same for landmines throughout, as…

It’s kind of interesting that musical genres are lauded over pop, whereas genre fiction is definitely less prestigious than fic/lit.

I see your point, but there’s something about working within limitations that can make art brilliant, as long as it isn’t just mimicry. I guess I’m thinking of things like sonnets and haikus as opposed to free verse (which can still be great, of course), but it seems like it could apply to anything.

Sorry, super late reply. It’s just an advice podcast with the caveat that she’s “unqualified” to be giving advice. I think I only listened to it because it came out pretty early in the podcast boom, and I never listened to the advice portion of it. Most reality TV and audience interaction stuff really triggers a…

The headline doesn’t really accurately describe what they discuss, which is whether their characters’ romance is still viable in season two after all the lying. Kind of weird. 

The fact that there was a call from her mother to Larry King Live that was contemporaneous seemed pretty damning to me.

I listened to her podcast pretty regularly for a while, yet I’ve never seen an episode of this show.  Seems like she’s covered all her bases.  

It seems to me that having a dampened or muted emotional experience is an emotional experience of its own.  Emotions are so central to our experience that I’m inclined to believe that Doyle became a better writer after he’d already achieved some popularity for being good at making deductive reasoning compelling on the…

I’m really confused by the headline.  It seems like the article is reporting a show that’s been canceled, but “scrapped for parts” implies a retool or something.

It’s Britney, bitch. (Please don’t take this seriously. I couldn’t resist.  I like your spelling better, for the record.). I totally agree. The whole thing is grossly patriarchal, and freaking out over a woman shaving her head seems like hand-wringing from people who can’t imagine a healthy young woman doing such a…
