The last time the A.V. Club posted about this film, I noticed a shocking amount of people don’t realize that Renfield pre-dates Guillermo. Just out here to remind people that this character has been around for awhile. In fact, Guillermo is a play on Renfield. Not the other way around.

I know this because I haven’t been…

Actually, the disabled community has A LOT of beefs with Family Guy, and his character is a big one. Regardless of your feelings one way or another, I guarantee you that he’s been criticized and asked to apologize about the show quite a bit.

...did Rowling personally develop this game single-handedly or has she already cashed her check and is set for multiple lifetimes?...unlike the people that made this game who only worked on it to make a living whose lives can be ruined by its unfair judgement and failure. It isn’t a war crime, it’s just a video game…

CPAC is coming up next month.

Do you think they have meetings? Is there a newsletter?

So far as I can tell... she has been presented to the world as the “most famous leader of the trans hate movement” by a vocal minority of pro-trans extremists (shored up by a lot of regular people that can’t seem to be bothered to actually look in to the details…

I think they are referencing this tweet:

When did she do that? It seems like every time I investigate a claim about Rowling I come up with very little to show for it.

> Rowling herself claims that buying her junk equals agreement with her views. She refuses to separate the art from the artist, so why should I?

> CEASE YOUR INDEPENDENT THOUGHT

How are you thinking independently here?

> the artist herself has made it quite clear that supporting the art means supporting the artist. So that’s not a choice I actually get to make.

What makes what she says objectively true?

Why not simply separate them anyway?

Lots of people seem to enjoy the game. Maybe you don’t, but others do. 

Rowling can claim whatever the fuck she wants, doesn’t make it so though.

Rowling herself claims that buying her junk equals agreement with her views.

It’s an amazingly deep and fun game. My 9 year old and 15 year old daughters are having a blast exploring. Even my 43 year old wife, who doesn’t play games at all, loves going around and collecting things, opening up the map, etc. The long and short is, it’s probably one of the best, biggest, most fun, and most…

I’ve only lived as high as the 14th floor (the highest the building went) and I absolutely LOVED it compared to “ground dwelling,” as the author puts it. You got the views, the sunrise, insects were nonexistent, etc. Our building also had a lot of the services you mentioned- gated access, undergeound parking so you…

Have a friend in DC and one in Toronto who both have the penthouse in their respective buildings, and as someone who lives in a 2 story house, I don’t know which I enjoyed more; the twinkling of the city lights at night from one of the rooms, or the sun as it rose from the rooftop. And especially the Toronto one,…

Lived for a few years on the 43rd floor of one of the tallest residential buildings in the southern hemisphere. We had spectacular views of the sun setting over the mountains (60km away) most evenings. As a young professional who spent most of my time between work, bars and restaurants it was perfection - everything…

Fully agree with your views on high rises for social/public housing (bad) but the above piece is referring to luxury high rises, which is rather different.

I’m going to rang here. I worked in social work when I left University and I saw the impact of high-rise living amongst the population of my city. People think super-talls and high rise apartments are the way to go. It depends on where you’re living. In my city - Glasgow - we built dozens of high-rise apartment…

Walker: Independence is much better than Walker. I can take or leave The Winchesters. They fucked around too much with the original storyline.

I find it baffling The Winchesters was given a full season order when the network refused to pick up Wayward Sisters which was the superior spin off idea.
