The tax stuff is bad but the real meat of this story is the half a billion he owes in debt. If you applied for like an entry-level military intelligence or CIA job and had to get a security clearance and they found that you owed that much to foreign banks they would not only immediately deny your security clearance…

I think Peacock is launching without support on Roku or Amazon devices, which accounts for around 70% of the home streaming market so I can’t imagine it will be a successful launch no matter what they do.

Same and I’m really raring to post.

Bucks were completely outcoached once again.  Stop sending Giannis down the center court only to be stopped short at the three point line.  Also officiating was definitely bad enough tonight that it deserves a second look, but the Raptors won and its not like they’ll reverse that call.  

Yo, the fuck about the Night King and the Others? What was up with them? Why was the North able to declare themselves an independent kingdom, but the Iron Islands and Dorne didn’t? Dorne still has a mostly intact military from staying out of the War of the Five Kings, as an historically indpendent kingdom why not…

This sort of rhetoric can be so easily folded into a fascist white nationalist agenda. I’d be interested to see how this is going over in conservative media during this transitional period between hardcore fiscal conservatism and white nationalism, but it’s very easy to go from “Let’s protect workers” to “Let’s…

I live down the street from Cov Cath and probably delivered pizzas to some of these kids a few years ago, and I have to say this isn’t surprising at all. It’s an all boys school of upper middle class white kids who have never faced any challenges or hardships in their lives who are constantly being told how much…

Fuck that and fuck you, most of the people affected by this likely didn’t vote at all.

If Louis C.K. is subject to market forces, shouldn’t he be allowed to come back and do a set at a comedy club and let the audience decide if it’s good or not?

Jack created the “first” version of the costume in the sense that he took a first pass and it was rejected, Kirby had almost nothing to do with Spider-Man beyond drawing an alternate cover for the first issue that wasn’t used.

Stan’s always been pretty good about giving Kirby and Ditko credit, he’s often characterized by media outlets as the “creator”of Spider-man etc. but when it’s his own words in interviews he’s always careful to say he created those characters with the illustrators. I don’t buy Kirby’s claim later in his life that he…

Not sure if anyone has said this, but this is basically a rip-off of the premise of the Naked Trucker and T-Bones (i know the show sucked listen to the song tho) song My Daddy Is an Astronaut.

Should just be a season long musical version of the Blind Guardian album Nightfall in Middle-earth.

The Tolkien Estate can’t control what people do with the movie/tv rights to Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, that’s pretty much entirely up to Warner Bros. and I’m surprised the estate even entertained the notion of being involved with this series by entering any kind of negotiations with Amazon. That said, I…

I’m not a frequent A.V. Club commenter but yes, a hundred times yes, a thousand times yes, a million times YES!

As a person who supported Bernie in the primaries and didn’t vote for Hillary in the campaign it’s demoralizing and frankly insulting to be lumped in with the freaks who were so pathologically anti-Hillary that they voted for Trump out of, I don’t know, spite I guess? Many of Hillary’s positions and her absolute…
