I don't know how unusual that is — I still call him Kenneth whenever he pops up in a show or movie I'm watching. Jack McBrayer doesn't really roll of the tongue, you know.
And calling him Jack on the set of 30 Rock probably just led to confusion.

That last sentence is an amazing turn of phrase. Will spread around.

I think there's a meme that needs to happen, a la Santorum. Let his name forever be associated with insolvency/bad deals/bankruptcy.
He's got a head start, unlike Santorum. There's a ton of internet presence to be overcome. But we just need to start with the little things, like created pages that describe how to…

SPOILER — unless you've read the comics.
Isn't Lenny just going to be one of the persons/personalities David absorbs? I'm looking forward to it because seeing them visualize David's headscape will be fun, but I feel like in this one instance, there really isn't any mystery for me/other long time comics readers. I…

Ireland is pretty much a temperate rain forest. Their are plants growing on plants, impenetrable brush, and lots of unstable ground in the center. (The edges are pretty rocky.) It could work, providing they managed to film during the four sunny days Ireland gets per year.
Or color correct the sky later.

Though Damon is probably unnecessary in this story, I would also contend that a movie about the Great Wall without ravaging hordes of CGI monsters would also have been much better. I was rather excited for a more period piece, with realistic battles of armies, Mongols or other barbarians vs. Chinese warriors, set at…

That was certainly a political statement. Benign as it might seem, they weren't assigned to report on attendance, or numbers, or any value-laden commentary. It was not part of their work to retweet that. We don't get to be advocates on the clock, and certainly not it as public a forum as Twitter. They were dumb…

Not by employees who have to appear neutral. It is one of the best parts of governing - not favoring anyone. Giving everyone an equal shot. It isn't our job to choose winners or losers, and we will be here well after to clean up messes, too.
Let them leak the info to a journalist if it's damning/true. We don't…

I came in to echo your second paragraph: most all federal, city, and state employees know that they may not use any government resources to express political opinions. (City librarian who uses other people's resources to do that. Less messy.)

I love your succinct phrasing. Will appropriate for the future — it speaks to my life as a librarian, anyway, and one who never really liked specializing in one discipline, to boot.

Your wording reminds me of the end of the Sandman series, where — paraphrasing (from Gaiman?) — the Lord of Dreams is given the choice to change or die, and he makes his choice. Fits the wheel pretty well, too.

I read the advance notice about this topics yesterday, but I am even happier to read it. Horseradish in potatoes? I already loved SO'N but I am still excited to see this great combo. Brussels sprouts fried, with fish sauce? To my 2nd Kevin Y- great thanks. To all others sharing recipes - especially those who…

I came to look for the meme and support it. Seeing that it was already supported was even better.

Good to know re: diplomatic & cultural in Civ VI— I have been holding off diving into Civ VI so far, based on a lot of the discussions here on AVC. (And the bad memories of Civ V when it first arrived.) This is another good point for waiting.
I get that sometimes, one is forced into a domination victory, but in the…

I love naval warfare in Civ V — but yeah, you're right — the AI sucked at it. It's so much fun being a halfway decent naval empire and just bombing the hell out of cities from afar. If you start early, your navies get better than artillery.

Civ III and Civ II memories are a little hazy — I do recall needing to pretty much wipe out all other Civs, which, depending on my style of play, wasn't too hard. (Though sometimes the clock would run out before I finished.) Civ IV allowed for total conquest (wipe out all others) or Domination (by sheer volume of…

Two ideas about where we are heading:
Whiterose has been trying to create/will into existence or just plain visit the world where she is fully a woman. (Or vice versa.) She sees in Angela a kindred spirit — one who desperately tries to engineer the outcomes she wants (vengeance for what happened to her mom and…

Co-signed. Her voice is powerful, full of range, and fierce. She can do old-time music, Celtic material, and R&B covers, and owns every version that she makes because her voice is chills-down the spine amazing.

I really liked Power Pack back in the day. The mixture of kid-friendly adventures and sci-fi exploration (like a kid's Fantastic Four) was really fun. I enjoyed them popping in and out of FF during the Hickman era, too, but I was secretly hoping that they would get revamped post Secret Wars. Don't know how they…

My first thoughts as well, and probably more how I feel about the article. I learned that a lot of people were paid a lot of money to create catch-phrases for their candidates, to be seen in a forum (Twitter, and most other social media) that means nothing to me. Still can't fathom cataloging speech with hashtags,…
