I feel better. I’m losing weight. I’m cooking with more creativity and enthusiasm than I have in years. I feel more energetic. I’m eating healthy whole foods. I’m not craving desserts or extra snacks because the break from sugar and excess fat fills me up for hours. I no longer fear becoming diabetic. When I take…

Jesus Christ. If the internet had been around for the first Star Wars they never would have made a second one.

Is this true? Doesn’t he say he’s about to go on a mission with Rey? He doesn’t go with her at the end of TFA.

You’re reading your own views into my words, I am not saying both sides are wrong. I am saying the terms of the debate are cloudy.

Who. In the world. Would Fuck Palpatine?

I still don’t understand why force ghost Anakin didn’t just tell his grandson to stop being a dipshit in his name.

Umm...is this basically for the io9 staff to talk about it? Has it even been released anywhere yet?

Like that phrase I coined: What a Country!

Strange philosophy. Someone else worked on a product and built it yet some else wants to give that person’s product away for free or sell it themselves. I’d say that’s not their choice to make.

“multi-billion-dollar giants like Netflix and Disney” I’ll never support piracy. It’s utterly devastating to small content creators. We need to change this attitude of “$5.99 it too much, stick it to the man and get everything for free.” Good riddance to this scum. Hope they go bankrupt and serve the maximum penalty…

I’m sure it’s better in the original German.

ok boomer

Well, we’re just a bunch of resentful little shits, aren’t we? Pretending the show was never good for the sake of outrage is the epitome of cutting off the nose to spite the face. Things you love don’t disappear because of context.

Circular firing squad, commence fire.

I think I’d feel more comfortable if Felice León picked up this story. I know Gina Rodriguez got famous playing Mexicans and just an “in general” Latina on TV but she’s actually an Afro-Latina of Puerto Rican origin. Should she be reminding people of her roots more often? Did she get too good at playing a…

Not trying to troll here, but nobody seems to be answering this question and I am genuinely curious as to the nuances of this conversation. In the first article about this, it was noted that he father is Afro-Latino, making her Afro-Latina. Why is she not allowed to use the word?

It just floors me that The Root chooses to elevate knucklehead nonsense like this. 

I think it’s bullshit to have to go above and beyond to apologize for singing a song lyric in the context of a song which is 100% not racist....I don’t care what the lyric is....that’s how it was written, that’s how it’s sung. 

Black people still trippin b/c non-black people have the audacity to sing a song as it’s written? Jesus, this is dumb.

The headline could be better. My first thought after reading it was that this transgender person was made fun of in Chappelle’s special and later killed themselves- not that her and Chappelle were friends...
