Was about to post that link myself. It is a Very Good Site.

Thanks for trying to put words in my mouth (for a week-plus-old comment), but my comment was about being baffled at people’s apparent hatred for something fundamentally harmless, rather than saying anyone is a “brainless thought [zombie] parroting shit.” If you feel like responding to the comment I actually wrote…

As one of the commentariat’s resident lawyers, I feel obligated that the case is now routinely taught in law school as an example of why tort reform is a bad idea, and more importantly how the media narrative and popular conception of a case can be completely wrong and miss the point entirely. The woman was horribly…

I think because they weren’t sure a live-action Star Wars TV show would work. They figured they’d save Boba Fett, and meanwhile see how feasible it would be to not be wedded quite so closely to the Skywalker saga (or even the EU). It worked, for everyone’s benefit except Boba’s.

Um... did you not play KOTOR?

Speaking as a lawyer, I genuinely have no idea what your logic is. And maybe - just maybe - the chilling effect that kind of take has on people who already have a lot of trouble coming forward should be enough reason to shut the fuck up.

I feel like Oasis has become a band that everyone feels like they are required to shit on because that’s the popular take more than because of anything about their music itself. Yeah, the Gallagher brothers are jackasses, and some of their songs (“Wonderwall” especially) are overplayed, but they’re not, like, terrible.…

Eat your heart out, Proud Mary. 

Yup, I did know that. He explicitly admitted as much in several of his letters. I just think it’s amusing that despite their explicit Hebrew roots, everyone pictures (and portrays) Tolkien’s dwarves as basically Scottish (or British at a minimum), and that it would have been hilarious if they instead sounded like my…

Until they got to Vegas - that’s pretty distinctive.

I’ve lived in DC for close to a decade, and it’s pretty easy to fake. Most of the city just kinda looks like other cities - office buildings and rowhouses. The buildings are even pretty short (nothing in the city is allowed to be over a certain height, due to a local ordinance). The National Mall is distinctive, but…

With you 100%. I will defend the name Boaty McBoatface until the day I Die-y McDieface.

I’m always amused when I remember that them being scottish is an entirely post facto thing - Tolkien never described them that way, as best I can recall. For all I know, he pictured them having Yiddish accents.

Goodness, I shouldn’t have scrolled down to the comments section - I should have expected the death of nuance. In lieu of a whole dissertation on the subject:

1. Yes, ms rowling is a bigoted asshole whose TERFiness should be neither forgiven (barring a massive change of heart and genuine repentance that I do not think…

Yup, definitely no recency bias going on here....

Would give you a second star for the Mystery Men reference if I could.

I wouldn’t read all that much into Paul’s absence. Ringo played on the track, so he has a very different relationship to the song despite them both being Beatles.

Yup. This is an extremely loose definition of “news,” since pretty much everyone who knows much about either The Beatles or LotR has known this for decades.

Apparently “nostalgia” is when they turn a song you didn’t like in high school into a movie you won’t like in your mid-30s. Cool.

I’m completely here for this. That said... if it takes place in a post-TNG (i.e., Lower Decks-era) world, why is the music basically just the theme from Discovery?
