I am currently contagious and would really need a facemask but can’t get any because they are all sold out.

People also don’t understand that the standard facemask does NOT protect them from infection. They are made to _keep you_ from infecting _others_. There are masks that offer some protection but those are usually…

As a Chicagoan, who would have thought the most memorable thing about the 2007 Super Bowl would be Prince.

Why are we, like Jake, unable to forget Chinatown?

(while the screenwriter insisted on subverting noir norms with a happy ending)

I assume this comment is in jest but I legitimately am not sure. 

Only halftime show that matters.

The whole point of Chinatown is that it’s non-Chinese police officers (or in Gittes’ case, detectives) who are trying to navigate through places like Chinatown, which even in America are strange and foreign locations. Hence the mantra of what Gittes did as a cop in Chinatown: “As little as possible.” This story wouldn’…

About midway through Prince’s show, our friend just said, “I’ll be my dad is so confused right now.” 

Goddamn his show was so good. And you can tell, just watching him, that he’s thinking this is an average-at-best night for him.

Lol. As a Latino man, the number of times that non Latin white people have tried to correct me on that is insane.

This has been my favorite show since the moment it appeared. I’m heartbroken to see it end.

“Series Grade: A”

That would have been the most predictable ending and I can’t imagine it doing anything else than feeling cheap and obligatory. I think this ending was considerably more heartfelt and meaningful and, in many ways, just as heartbreaking as ending with his suicide. Death is a cheap way out; living is something much more…

Yeah, plus it would’ve been a terrible message to the audience (ie, damaged people are just fundamentally broken, cannot be helped, and will eventually destroy themselves). Nah, man. That would have been horribly cynical and hopeless. I loved this ending. I can definitely see why it’s going to irk some, but it worked…

They did. This entire season was his rock bottom, and this time he faced the consequences. Not just emotionally either. He really did lose everything this time-his reputation, almost all of his relationships, his house, and his freedom. Nor did he do something shocking (TM) in the penultimate.

Cass embodies everything I like about Damian Wayne with none of the stuff I hate about Damian Wayne. Pumped to see her getting some attention after they for some reason made Barbara into Batgirl again.

Genitals are biological, gender is social. Hope that helps.

Soooo...Post-secret: Steam edition?

Been “playing” this for about a month. Feels good to respond to the people who sound like they’re going through similar struggles to what I went through in high school and my 20s and can offer some advice/uplifting words, but sometimes I go through the first 10 requests and I’m just like, “All of these people are in a…
