Agreed. I’m willing to brush off some storylines by saying, “It’s just magic!” (and I do love shows about witches, warlocks, ghosts, etc.), but this one was just too expansive and too perfect to make sense even as sci-fi.

Disliking one thing doesn’t mean disliking “everything.”

There are lots of ways to keep the prices down. Maybe it’s lower quality of materials, or lower quality of production, but it could also just be that their workers are getting paid practically nothing, or they don’t bother with regulations. These companies probably dump a lot of toxic waste, for example, and that’s a…

Uh... are you promoting your own blog? This is such a random source. This isn’t how to source things.

“This American Life” recently had an episode about people who moved out of Florida, and also people who moved into Florida, because of new laws signed by Ron DeSantis. Both kinds of families exist. The pro-Florida people are bizarre. I was actually surprised by how much the show let them spout lies about biology…

“a bunch of whores who pimped themselves out”

She’s complaining about affirmative action:

Yeah, their arguments are wildly inconsistent. They say it’s murder, but then they say it’s sometimes okay. Murder at 12 weeks is bad, but murder at 11 weeks is good — why? It’s like they’re admitting that the youngest fetuses aren’t really a full “person” yet... which is what a majority of rational people already…

Place your bet based on the venue. The shark would die in freshwater, and the anaconda would die in saltwater. That’s a boring movie.

“the all-American love story of a college football star and a beauty pageant queen”

Every religion is a lie.  You couldn’t successfully separate Scientology from Catholicism or Judaism or Islam.  Everyone of them is fake.  But our constitution protects all religions, even though all of them are lying cults.

I tried to watch “Eternals” four times, on four different nights, and I wanted to peel my face off.  Never finished it, and don’t care.

Rooms actually should not be cleaned every day. The amount of water wasted on laundry alone is obscene. You live in a desert! They need to find a different way to make more money. 

Ben Shapiro had almost certainly never purchased a Barbie doll in his entire life... until he purchased several of them only to “protest” (?) the film. That could’ve been the first clue that the movie isn’t for him. He never played with them, he never cared about them, but now he’s mad that he didn’t enjoy the movie.…

“torture, defamation, surveillance, harassment, and intimidation”

The usage of that word hasn’t increased since the creation of South Park.

Assault! Outrage! Backlash! Offended! They used to be more powerful words, but now they all just mean that one random person expressed moderate dislike or ambivalence about something.

The “choose your own adventure” one with Bear Grylls is absolutely perfect for my 10-year old nephew. We try to reason through it together, but the show requires us to choose an option during a very brief countdown. 

I remember watching a TV interview with a Trump fan a few years ago.... She said that Donald Trump is literally Jesus. As in, the man who died 2,000 years ago and promised to return, and he is now returning as this man named Donald. If that’s true, you’d think he’d have a different message to share on his own birthday.

I’ve always been a little skeptical that we just so happen to be coexisting with the largest species ever to exist. That coincidence almost seems too good to be true. How sure are we that we’ve already discovered all of the largest dinosaurs, for example? Doesn’t it seem that, if we give paleontologists another…
