This was a really tense episode, but I had two huge issues with it. First, the this show seems determined to make Alicent sympathetic ... which makes her come off as come off as wishy-washy and dumb. Watching her flip-flop from taking the hardest lines possible against Rhaenrya to all of a sudden, wanting to usurp the…

Regarding “The Blob” (1958): I contend that the 1988 remake(?) is kitschier, and, somehow, better. It certainly leans into the scenery-chewing, with zero impact on the scares.

On “Blair Witch”: the film is 100% enhanced by watching the accompanying “documentary”, “Curse of the Blair Witch”.

He’s not really a dime a dozen. He’s a special kind of scoundrel. He carries on the spirit of Aaron Burr. He’s The Babadook. We can’t get rid of him in American politics, and what felt like the last chance was getting him convicted of a crime finally, only to have him be pardoned by the most criminal president we’ve…

I mean.... he worked on the campaigns of Nixon, Reagan, George W, Bob Dole, and Trump. Are you just completely oblivious to news and politics, or...? The dude is awful, but let’s maybe not downplay just how far his terrible influence has spread throughout the right wing over the decades.

Just saw an article yesterday about how these groups were storing weapons at a nearby hotel so they were ready to go. Had a guy on standby to bring weapons into the capitol area. 

Oh, look, the Russian bot posts again!

STFU

I know it doesn’t matter to these sociopaths, but the pardon was not designed to allow people to do all kinds of criminal things in order to get their guy elected and then get all those offenses pardoned.

I wonder if Roger has ever been in an actual fight or if he just has a big mouth and hides behind racist goons of below average intelligence?

I believe this is referred to as the snake eating its tail

Oof, who could have predicted Donald Trump might be a disloyal ally?

The “abortionist bitch” bit likely refers to the fact that Ivanka Trump reportedly urged her dad to praise Planned Parenthood on the debate stage and was expected by many to be a moderating force in the White House on Trump’s anti-abortion agenda.

That is true. I was speaking too broadly. It does seem to be an issue almost exclusively confined to a specific gender, sexuality, and color.

You probably don’t even have to move out of mom’s basement (so long as you have a modicum of privacy, the basement has all the amenities you’d expect, etc.).  I would bet plenty of potential romantic partners would be willing to forgive that, especially in the economy as it is, for people who just stopped acting like…

This I think really more than anything underscores that horror and fear are such personal and idiosyncratic experiences. There’s gonna be tons of comments saying something like “sure _____ was scary. But _____ being on this list? That wasn’t scary at all!” And honestly, that’s because we’ve all got our own fears and…

Three comments (sorry):

I cannot wait for the GOP to remind her , “YOU’RE NOT WHITE !!!”

“elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness”
