I guess it’s true, Stranger Things implies that there’s a baseline, less strange thing. So the experimental chemicals 11 are subject to are stranger than lead, but they’re mirrors of each other because they both cause behavioral changes.

I fucking hate the trend of a cover song being slowed down but that’s most definitely Dave Gahan singing in the background, not some shithead wannabe pop star singing slow and breathless in a vain attempt to be edgy.

My understanding is that B&W refused and it was their choice to make.

Tanslations: “I’m willing to look past all his terrible thoughts and ideas for no good reason because maybe, just maybe, Elon will be my friend.”

You don’t find COVID denialism at all suspect, or is your statute of limitations on “lately” just extraordinarily short?

David Straithairn was so goddamn good as Ashford. You could tell he had a lot of fun playing the character. (The show did a great job with Ashford considering he’s such a boring, 2-dimensional, single-minded character in the book.)

It could just be that one artist does it, and a bunch of other artists of similar vintage see that and go “well shit, that much money? we could do that too.” And so every few years, we see a little wave of artists selling their catalogs for a bundle.

The Captain America franchise always gets saddled with franchise setup. The Thor & Iron Man trilogies got to focus on their own narratives more than Cap. He only got two movies, before he was canniballized by the bigger picture, like he was just a vessel to the MCU in the end. Now, Sam’s story is getting ruined by the…

Yeah the more characters and interconnectedness they establish the more unwieldy it gets. I think more casual fans are already having trouble keeping track of all the parts, but Marvel stuff is usually fun enough that you can enjoy it even without fully remembering who everyone is or all the past events. I wonder how…

Wasn’t that the basic intention? More content for the fans, more depth in the characters and the universe, but anyone who just watched the movies would be able to keep up without them.

What a fragile childhood. 

Especially since reggae is built off of ska and not the other way around.

Ska doesn’t need to be rehabbed, it’s never stopped being awesome.

“and blocked me.”

This is the fantasy. ‘Spider-Man 3' presents the reality:

Why is this so mean?

The “PITA” (fascinating acronym) of moving a physical library is a price I’m willing to pay. Ebooks may be wonderful for a lot of reasons but “physical durability”, “access outside of Internet-covered areas” and “no batteries required” are not among them.

Oh, for heaven’s sake. By color?! Um, no.
