as a six-year-old who (didn’t know he) was on the spectrum, I found immense comfort in his portrayal of someone who’s exuberantly, unashamedly nerdy.

I know a lot of black guys loved it when The Cat in Red Dwarf (sought of) turned out to be a massive nerd in one ep, because they felt seen. 

As annoying as I personally found Urkel, and yes, the character did subvert a semi-realistic “blue collar Cosby Show” to use the phrase in the skit, about ten years ago I had a Black colleague who found in the character of Urkel that it was okay to be both Black and a nerd and credited the character for his choice of…

Yeah, I always thought this movie was a real impenetrable mess until I realized I was just mixing up Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure again.

I thought the image above was one of those weird thumbnail pics people use on Youtube where they exaggerate someone’s features for attention.  Turns out that lady just looks that way.  I mean obviously not naturally, but I am sure there is a church funded plastic surgeon who has a wing of his house named after her

And, for the new documentary, you just use incriminating and embarrassing footage that was edited out of the reality version. Cost savings!!

It is, quite literally, the Right’s one and only “joke”.

You know, there is an interesting documentary that could be made from this that explores the effectiveness of MeToo, the myth of cancel culture, and how the makeup of CK’s audience shifted more to the right when he returned. But this sounds like they’re going for an inspirational comeback story that’s borderline…

It’s no fun unless you have an audience 

I wouldn’t say he’s come back “like nothing happened”. He’s come back as an anti-woke grumpy old guy tailoring his comedy to right wing dopes who still laugh at “I identify as X” jokes.

Sounds like a total wankfest.

Cops cannot stand being told no, even when they are violating your rights. Violating someone’s rights and then making up some bullshit charge to cover it up should be grounds for permanent dismissal as a law enforcement officer. I hope this pastor wins big.  ACSD.

When the golfer Arnold Palmer died, I watched an instant documentary about him and one thing I learned was that when he first became famous, he practiced signing autographs. He was annoyed by celebrities whose autograph was an unreadable scrawl and thought it was respectful to the fans to give them a readable…

I remember the extras he did for the Spawn movie VHS release. He claimed Spawn was better than Spiderman, Batman, and God

Most food waste doesn’t happen at the consumer level. The vast majority of it happens at the farm/producer or retailer level.

Pedantic correction to your correction: Marvelman is the original UK name

I can’t wait to see how Reeves remodels a house. 

Elmo better learn how to renovate a three-story walkup on Sesame Street if he wants to live in a Warner Bros. Discovery world.

Physical media is the only tried and true way to make sure you always have access to something... well that and stealing it.

You’re right, I was careless in my language. I exclusively meant executives when I said “creators”, not the people actually doing the work every day. Every single person I’ve met working on a production cared very deeply about doing the best damn job they could, and they loved their work.
