Dick Cavett was making Chris Noth jokes during the great depression!

Jalopnik had the right idea in “promoting” — for lack of a better term — Mercedes from commenter to writer. I think the family of sites have done that before with other commenters, too?

You may recall Jay from this particular Sarah Silverman skit:

Dude, I was making a Mr Show reference. Nothing more...

“Because...if you look at the video...it does kind of look like...you were committing treason”
“WYCKED TRUMPER!”
“Gentlemen...I...am a seditionist...and this is what me and my seditionist friends do when we get together on the weekends...now I am going to take out this video of you masturbating on the confederate battle…

Family Guy was making Kevin Spacey jokes in 2005...

Because the new staff do not care about the commentators as I wrote in my post . It’s sad as it used to be a great site . 

In the greys but here goes. I’ve been around on SNS since 2015, last year Kinja stopped working for me so I could not comment .This year I got a new phone but could not remember my log in details for my old account where I was a verified account so created a new account and am in the greys now .

Same!

Often, the result of fucking around is finding out.

I suspect the character of Jimmy Pesto would be of a similar political bent.

Been loving the references to him on CBB this year.

Also that year, the teacher asked us to write down the top 5 people in the class we hate the most. During recess she tabulated the results and announced the “winner.”

Why is SNS being posted at 9 am PST now? God I hate Jezebel these days and yes, I know no one cares.

This article can be read as to have empathy for incels. Sure, why not? I think that it isn’t too hard to see how a man would be perpetually unable to get a date. If you look like the Grinch, you will have a hard time getting a date. That is true for a lot of actual men today.

“and Superman’s origins in war-time propaganda,”

Superman’s origins (pre-1940) have him being attacked by the National Guard while he does things like raze slums, forcing the government to build better housing for poor people.

“Superman’s origins in war-time propaganda”

I think calling Dick’s work “outsider art” is a stretch. That term is less meaningful when you’re talking about a field where, at least during Dick’s early career, there was a relatively tiny number of authors who were taken seriously as writers and the closest things to any kind of mass media making SF writing…

UBIK is crying out for an adaptation.  IMO, it’s PKD’s best story and would make a mind bending film.  Christopher Nolan would be excellent as well.

It’s genuinely a little weird that the most-adapted scifi writer of the late 20th and early 21st century by Hollywood ended up being Philip K. Dick: a talented and prolific but deeply troubled man with few friends, crippling mental health issues, a long-term methamphetamine abuse problem and an audience for his books…
