You can not top the opening of the original.

I know.. but you can demonstrate to everyone the power of your convictions.

I enjoy Willow a ton as a character, and respect her growth arc...but she’s also in the girl-don’t-date-her hall of fame. Cheating, addiction, mind control. OTOH Buffy has terrible taste.

Her magic abuse? Just have her steadily get more and more lost until she basically becomes Willow-Heisenberg. Tara tries and fails to save her, and after Willow messes with everyone’s memories, Tara leaves to go get Giles. Her departure is the last thing that pushes Willow over the edge, without fridging Tara in the…

The clustering of these individuals is likely due to “specific environmental needs” and/or “increased reproductive opportunities,” according to the paper.

i have to be blunt: the hard limit of electoral politics has been put in stark contrast. it’s not the time to “go back to brunch”. now the work really starts. the national protest infrastructure must be kept alive and expanded. activists must be loud and visible everywhere to push back on corruption from the local…

Or like the Clinton Administration removing all the W’s from the computer keyboards when they left? 

What an opus! ‘xcuse me while I reshelve my thesaurus.

Then why do I feel like an Ewok that’s about get rained on by giant pieces of radioactive debris?

Hopefully a DoJ that actively and viciously prosecutes those involved in the corruption, collusion, and fraud of the last 4 years. Wether former president or sitting republican Congress critter. Lock them all up and don’t waiver just because the MAGAts scream about it being political. That didn’t stop them.  

That comic reminds me of something I actually did as a teenager. My mom had a comb and it said “unbreakable” on it. I didn’t even think twice about what it meant (it meant that it wouldn’t break while combing hair) and immediately tried to break it. It broke almost instantly. Fortunately, it didn’t cost much and I was…

Good grief, he’s still a fairly creepy-looking dude, but I’d forgotten how bug-fuck psycho he used to look.

The pathos of Jordy Verrill is what makes this King performance stand above all others. More relevant now than ever. The tragedy of stupid decisions. And we all make them. 

First off, I’ve been a ring judge for a few decades. There are no “3 point” strikes/kicks. In fact, successful strikes are awarded in half points (wazari) unless it’s an obvious successful attack (kill strike) then its a full point (ippon). No, we didn’t use pads in the 80s. The only illegal strike in black belt…

This is an open karate tournament in 1984. Different targets being worth different point values wasn’t a thing in such targets back then. Face attacks were legal for black belts only, and this is the black belt division. So Daniel’s kick is point number 3.

Some of the interned men volunteered to serve. That’s why Miyagi’s wife died in a camp during childbirth while he was fighting overseas. It’s a real bummer all around.

Today I got a good ol’ smack of reality when I saw a set of some set images for this and wondered aloud how they justified Heather Graham playing 50-something Rita Blakemoor.

Winden, Germany?

Ava: You had real parents? That is ...
Mick: And they weren’t in jail?
Sara: And you weren’t rich?
Constantine: Bloody weird, mate.

Hopefully they nail it, but shades of Mona concerns for sure.
