Gen X is half kids of the Silent Generation and half Boomer kids, depending on where you fall in Gen X. (I, for example, am very young Gen X born to older Boomers. Older Gen X are more likely to be Silent Gen kids.)

Every generation has to live through its cringe fashion choices. Grunge really didn’t do us any favors either. You grow old enough to realize, “Oh, what the fuck were we thinking?”

I always found this show best when it focused on Elizabeth. I didn’t have a high opinion of S5 for exactly that reason. I wanted to like Staunton in her turn as the queen, but we didn’t get to see her finally shine until the back half of the final season (as compared to Foy and Coleman, who didn’t have to deal with…

It’s a reference to the age of the show, not the character or the actor.

It also really backs up a lot of the claims that were made about him by other people who talked about his toxic personality but without specific claims of physical abuse.

Yeah, that was the one for me, too. I was mostly non-tearfully sad until I saw that, and then I burst into tears.

Sign that Jez is no longer a Giz site: this isn’t a slideshow!

It is unclear how those laws would hold up to appeals, even with our scummy current Supreme Court line up. There are some strong arguments to make that Texas can’t prosecute a “murder” that happened in another state. Since she’s crossing state lines, that would make the absurd idea of “kidnapping” federal, not state.…

May I request that you bring back the tradition of assigning horrible and yet highly accurate and often hilarious epithets whenever you refer to Donald tRump? I lived for that shit in 2016, and I feel we as a society need it now more than ever. https://jezebel.com/every-description-jezebel-used-for-donald-trump-during-…

I will also admit that one of the reasons I believe I didn’t share that aspect of our relationship with friends was subconscious shame at realizing how unhealthy things really were and not wanting to have to confront that myself. If I told someone, they might say, “Hey, um, that’s kind of fucked up and not OK,” which…

It’s almost like the gig economy isn’t sustainable long term or as a way for people to make a real living.

I also acknowledge that I am very much an outlier in things like this. I live in a very walkable city where I can walk under a half mile and have a choice of over a dozen places to get food. Even on the occasions when I do order from restaurants, I am far more likely to order pickup than delivery, and for fast food,…

I only discovered this existed because I thought I’d found a franchise location of a BBQ place that had previously not been in my city. I was very excited, and a friend and I tried to go the location, only to discover that it was one of these ghost kitchens. Honestly, that whole thing just pissed me off and turned me…

After the text messages were read in court, the prosecution asked Jabbari why she initially said she didn’t know how she got her injuries. “I was scared of the consequences of it,” she told the court. “Still wanted to protect him I guess.”

There wasn’t really much idea of firm continuity/canon during Old Who. It was really only at the end of the 2nd Doctor’s time that they vaguely started developing the deeper mythos of the Doctor and Time Lords, and it wasn’t until the 4th Doctor that they really dove into all of that.

Before I was put on my current (highly effective) preventative medication, I used to have chronic migraines. While any alcohol consumption could trigger them, I did find that it took much less wine (both red and white, but red was worst) than it took beer or hard liquor to bring about the headaches. I never did figure…

It helps if you think of the Mad Max movies as folklore or myth. Continuity in such stories tends to be kinda fuzzy and often changing. What’s important are the character archetypes and narratives specific to each tale. All these movies kind of have a mythic vibe anyway.

I was in my late teens. It was... a lot. At the time, I found the mass hysteria entirely disgusting.

That was a physical affectation that the real Diana had, but the thing about Debicki doing it is that she has the HUGE eyes that make it seem so much more pronounced when she does it. 

But I get that. It’s about the crown. To do that story justice across so many years, you’d likely want to get into those who will inherit that same crown once they enter the picture. I think it makes sense for there to be a heavy focus on Charles (the future crown for the show and the current crown now) and William…
