Man. At this point, the only thing that would undo my deep disappointment in Sanders is if he actually puts that following of his to good use. If he can’t bring himself to tell his followers to back Clinton, he needs to aim them at the local races in their home states. Put all that energy to work at the state level,…

You’re thinking of Emperor Norton.

Given that he then blackmailed Peter into being a child soldier (who he took across INTERNATIONAL BORDERS, wtf Tony) you were not wrong to find it worrying.

...I have to admit, I didn’t realize there were people who genuinely think you can’t get a sunburn if you’re dark-skinned. Like, yes, it takes longer, but that’s still how skin works???

The last movie I spite-watched was Mad Max: Fury Road, which I would never have seen in theaters if the internet manchild brigade hadn’t been crying about it so loud. So I’m optimistic about Ghostbusters!

That’s specifically the cancellation line tickets— there are a small number of house seats for VIPs and similar, and if unused they’re sold to the public right before the show. The theater seats 1300, they couldn’t fill the place with VIPs even if they wanted to.

Does anyone know what colors the costume was? It would be unspeakably cool to reproduce it.

I’ve been known to say that my parents did a really good job of parenting a kid they didn’t actually have. As the kid they did have, it’s hard sometimes to know how to feel— they really did try, and it could have been a hell of a lot worse, but there was, and still is, a fundamental inability to see the person in…

I’m pretty sure the average anti-choice politician would cheerfully take a dunk in one of those people-juice youth jacuzzis from Jupiter Ascending, and go right back to passing TRAP laws after.

The ghost of Alexander Hamilton is SO DISAPPOINTED AND ANGRY.

[quietly roots for this movie to succeed so someone can make a movie about Mary Bowser and Elizabeth van Lew. or Hannah and William Craft. Or just. like. literally any of the uncountable historical POC whose fascinating lives did not end in despair and death.]

Same. “Oh, the Internet’s battalion of asshole man-babies are calling this movie ‘feminist propaganda’? Cool. You just sold me a ticket, gentlemen.”

*a* heart. no one ever said it was HIS heart.

I think she’s my favorite right now, because no individual part of her name is notably outlandish; it’s adding them up that reveals the name’s full glory.

uuuuuugh that sounds tiresome and definitely code for some bullshit.

Sigh. I really want Hillary and Bernie to get their shit sorted out. Yeah, Bernie has a better sense of what needs to be done, but Hillary’s a thousand times better at actually *getting* shit done. Offer him the VP slot already, let him pull Hillary to the left when she needs it, and let the country start getting…

I read all my dad’s Stephen King and John Grisham books by the time I was 12, because they were books and they were in my house. My parents didn’t monitor my reading (although they did monitor my movie viewing somewhat— if I wanted to see an R movie as a teen, or PG-13 as a younger kid, they went to see it first), and…

I'm honestly not sure how this could sound more like an alien unconvincingly posing as a human, short of straight up quoting Kodos and Kang.

but definetly prefer a single color grandchild

Have you read this interview he did in 1975? It’s super long and hilarious throughout. Now, imagine all the scenes of his hardscrabble Brooklyn childhood, as played by Stephanie Beatriz. Skip ahead to his years as a Borscht Belt comedian, portrayed by Mindy Kaling. Then, for his whirlwind romance with Anne Bancroft,…
