Okay, you’re on. I’m seeing it this Thursday, and somehow this article is the only thing I’ve read about it. This better not be some “the real monster is man” bullshit.

Just don’t internet dive oglaf from work... really don’t.

Don’t listen to that guy and I suggest not to bother replying to that sort. Anyone who poops out “Social interaction is easy” is full of shit. A cursory view of, say, modern western culture puts the lie to that. It sounds to me like you are on the right track. It may take awhile, it may need to be gradual steps. Keep…

I read this to myself in Nathan Explosion’s voice and it was delightful. That is all.

At this point, I think LeBron is just so good, he can carry a bunch of okay teammates (who are, you know, still the elite of the elite if they’re in the NBA at all) and a green coach way, way past their skill and comfort level. When you bring a bunch of goofballs into the finals, you’re still playing with a bunch of…

Well, that’s all there is to say, then.

It’s like a roller coaster, except just the screaming and the stomach-dropping and the kid in front of you puking his guts out. 

Well, yeah, that’s pretty much a guaranteed Cabinet position.

I first read the headline as “Netflix cancels Arrested Development” and I actually felt a sense of relief.  I fucking loved that show when it first aired, but I don’t think I can even watch this new season. 2018: the year when everything, every tiny little thing that shouldn’t even matter, just went to total shit.

Sweet! An excuse to navel-gaze about nerdy pop culture. Here is my 46-yr-old hot take: I loved Star Wars (as in, ep 4) for the Flash Gordon fever dream it was. I thought Empire was very bloated and slow; I didn’t appreciate its operatic qualities until I grew up, but I still find it bloated and overstuffed. Everything…

Yes, this. What I’ve learned just over the past year is that there is always someone worse. Crazier ideas, more corrupt, more incompetent. It’s like they sense it’s finally their time, and they’re crawling out of the woodwork. 

I think the casting is pretty stellar throughout (ha!) but I do agree on Holden. I think Steven Strait has done a decent job, but I believe his character is supposed to *be* smug and emo. You know, that whole raised-in-a-commune main-of-principle thing. I think it would take serious, breakout-role chops to make that…

Giant artificial tongues have been taken by Trump’s “special projects” group in the basement of Mar-a-lago.  Instead, we’re teaching woodpeckers to play football, and we’re teaching football players to hunt for sap and insects in tree bark.  It’s actually going really well.

I’m amazed that this review (like a few others) focus on the lyrics, when I can barely hear them above the sound of a train full of band instruments derailing in a tunnel. (Unlike everyone else, I mean this in a good way.) My take is that Casablancas is flat-out bored with traditional song structure after 20 years…

I always assumed we were seeing the result of centuries of robots designing and improving themselves once their AI got good enough. That empathy (or at least curiosity) would survive that process is, to me, Senior Spielburgo at his most hopeful.

I lived for a time in Lafayette, Indiana, where, dadgummit, they did not observe DST until 2006. When I was there, they just stayed in EST all year ‘round. This meant in the summers, they were effectively on CDT. It was confusing as fuck, tv show times seem to dance all over the place (depending on if a local…

A star for the Children’s Palace ref. That was my sacred Nirvana; I had *dreams* of wandering the aisles of the local CP. KB Toys was the utility player, down in the mall for that quick GI Joe action figure fix. TRU was the crusty junk one, even back then.

We used to have them, but that 90% attrition rate on corporate-certified-safe colony worlds really did them in.

Trump got a hot tip and now he wants to head these guys off at the pass

I’m afraid there’s only so much I can do.
