I’m not sure why this didn’t sit right with me, but I guess that’s the point. What Ryan did to Theo was wrong, and what Theo did to Ryan was also wrong. She hits back at the boys by using Ryan as her target, since she knows there will be zero doubt in her words since he’s black.

I can now picture her hovering around other people in the restroom like Moaning Myrtle and trying to determine if they belong there.

Ahh, I love this movie.

Valerie and particularly Melody were barely developed at all, and Josie wasn’t given much more do to. The Pussycats really were done wrong.

Hey, it’s not a slideshow. Good work!!

I mean, yes, but that cold piece of toast would have roughly triple the energy and political capital that Biden does.

Apologies for the delay between SketcHistory interviews; it took me that long to find my pen.

I read this without paying attention and by the time I got to the bottom was suspecting it was an old article.  Pleasantly surprised to learn it wasn’t.  Nowadays, “old school AV Club” is the highest praise you can give in the comments section.

I honestly laughed when they did that at the end, as if the whole series had been to benefit the cats instead of being 7 episodes of exploitative, sensationalist trash with five minutes of “help cats” tacked on.

I am liking the story well enough, but I did enjoy the Russian nesting doll plot lines in the first two seasons. That said good to shake up the storylines and how to approach them.

If your most prominent personality trait is “from New York,” you’re boring as hell.

I think people took to the movie because it was a modest, unassuming little film that hadn’t been run through the studio homogenizer. It didn’t have the wittiest script but it was sweet and sincere, two qualities that are very rare these days. It was also wisely cast with a lot of good character actors with…

What about investment groups coming in and destroying beloved websites?

I’m really surprised by your reading of Lyra here; this was the first episode where I really felt an “ah, yes, there she is. That’s the Lyra I know.” It totally came out of the blue and was entirely unearned based on the past 3 weeks, but she really /felt/ like Lyra to me this episode. She’s precocious! She’s…

I’d laugh myself to tears if Katy brought Tom Hiddleston as her date.

She has the wrong skin color for a harsher sentence.

Serious question: does the Black Lives Matter movement have a set position on whether they want white people at their protests or not? I’ve read several high profile articles both ways. I’ll admit to staying away, in part because I’ve read several impassioned pieces saying that I shouldn’t go.

My $0.02, FWIW.

I also don’t agree with the idea that my talking about my own uterus without adding an aside that uterus does not equal woman is an act of erasure. Talking about my own body doesn’t erase anyone, or mean I’m against trans rights. The kids on tumblr are EMPHATIC that women like me must always refer to themselves a…

I saw a meme complaining that all the signs about pussies and uteruses contributed to trans erasure. I read that piece of criticism as saying that cisgendered women shouldn’t stand up against sexual assault (highlighting Trump’s “pussy” comment) or reproductive rights (“uterus”) because trans women have it worse.…
