Saying something completely trivial that everybody already knows can confuse people, because they think that surely you must have some other point you’re trying to make, or you wouldn’t bother to say it. (This is called conversational implicature.)

“Maybe there’s a reasonable explanation as to why Jackson hasn’t appeared on the show in 10 years.”

The vast majority of entertainers have also not appeared on Saturday Night Live during the past decade. Not being on Saturday Night live is the natural state of being. 

“accurately reported the context”

Mortensen was noting that no one uses the word anymore, unlike in the time The Green Book was set, and in process of making that point said the actual word instead of saying “the n-word.” He then apologized pretty strongly for it. Mahershala Ali, asked about the incident, was unequivocal that it was wrong, but also…

I think the most hilarious part of it all is that here in 2022, the FCC still thinks it’s pearl-clutch-worthy if someone says “fuck” on broadcast TV at 11:30 PM. Like, children can see people saying “fuck” (or actually fucking) on the Internet with basically no effort, and they’re not going to be staying up late just…

Gotta be careful around John Voight. He’s got a wicked set of chompers, and he’s not afraid to sink them into your arm if you get too close...

It’s most definitely better when you are with little kids (your own, your niece/nephew, cousins, join your friends when they take their kids). It’s only ok when you’re an adult.

I’m going to add Disney. I do not get the appeal. At. All. If I had kids, I might go once, or if I lived nearby, but I know people who go every year. They spend tons of money to travel there, stay in a hotel, and go to a place with crowds, kids, and lines. That’s my idea of Hell.

Yeah, but in his version Pennywise gets to join the underage ganbang.

yeah let’s pretend it’s just the entertainment industry and not literally every part of society for thousands of years

Bold of you to presume recog can read. 

This Will Fundamentally Change the Way You Look at Grooming

Wouldn’t a better AV Club headline be:

 All fandoms are in a race to the bottom at this point. 

Seriously enough with the Unannounced Actors already just give us a good film. I don’t care about Unannounced Actor ugh.

I'm sure he will be great in his 8 episodes and 2 specials over the next 3 years.

Why the random insulting of Hugh Grant? I’m very happy with this casting choice but Hugh Grant is a national treasure and would have been a great Doctor.

It’s just his typical way of fueling engagement in the comments section to get more clicks. It’s easier than praising Ncuti’s work or bothering to investigate it.

If you’re going to snark about pedantry, maybe you should have spelled Eccleston’s name correctly?

“Also, this means we thankfully dodged the bullet of the BBC stupidly hiring another white man for the role, with very stupid rumors insisting back in March that Davies wanted old white man Hugh Grant to be the new star. As for Gatwa’s Doctor, though, he’ll officially take over the TARDIS in 2023.”
