Yes, because we’ve certainly got a system of government here in America where someone can’t take advantage of deference to tradition to co-opt the systems of authority and use them for his own twisted goals of power and profit. Clearly, Wakanda could learn a thing or two from us!

Except that the Avengers were trying to save everyone in Sokovia from Iron Man’s rogue AI that he created without checking with anyone because he believed that he knew better than the rest of the human race. That was Zemo’s point—it would be better if all the “superhumans” destroyed each other with a minimum of…

I got the impression that the “challenge” was entirely ceremonial in 99.9999% of cases; everything was decided beforehand politically and most successions were either “we choose not to challenge” or a perfunctory, tap in and yield situation to allow the best person to rule while still satisfying tradition. It was…

I think he made a split-second calculation and realized that saying, “Hey, this guy beat me at my own game, took my chosen kill away from me, then murdered him when I allowed him to be taken into custody by Americans just like I said I wouldn’t do” was not a winning line of argument at that particular moment. W’Kabi…

I was so impressed with both the way they turned a horrible racist dog-whistle into a deep, well-rounded character and with Winston Duke’s performance as M’Baku. One of the most amazing things about that movie was the way I wanted everyone to get their own spin-off.

Or, in this case, debunk claims that we kicked their asses when we really clearly didn’t. :)

The plural of anecdote is not data. Knowing a white guy who got turned down for a loan doesn’t mean that you’re more likely to get a loan if you’re white, just like knowing a guy who rolled snake eyes in craps doesn’t mean that a 2 isn’t one of the least likely sums to come up.

What part of “controlled for income and loan amount” did you miss? This isn’t about poor folks, this is about two people who make the same amount of money going into the same bank and asking for the same amount of money, and the white folks getting the loan and the black folks getting told, “Sorry, you didn’t…

Ahem. The semi-sentient blob of human fat cells community takes offense at your comparison of their proud members to the Rush Limbaugh wannabe Rush Limbaugh. We look forward to your written apology.

He wasn’t up for the part. There was a fan campaign to push him for the part, because he would have been awesome, but it turns out there’s some bullshit racist dickery in the contract between Sony and Marvel that says that Peter Parker always has to be a white dude. They could do a Miles Morales movie, and he can be…

Please. Please tell me more about how “nonbinary” means “wanting to sleep with more than one other person”. I genuinely cannot get enough of your entirely informed opinion on what that word means. Please go on at great length (do not consult any outside sources) and tell me as much as possible about your feelings on…

The thing I love about Scream 2 is that every victim does the things that would make them safe in a horror movie...but they don’t work. When they go to a public place with lots of people around, they’re murdered and everyone thinks it’s a publicity stunt. When they stand on the street in broad daylight, they’re…

Wow. I mean, it’s not every day that you see someone who has set the bar so high for ignorance and stupidity vault over it with a single paragraph, but I mean...man, that is dumbassery for the ages. I mean, managing to confuse “nonbinary” with “polyamorous” is the kind of idiocy that we will speak of in hushed…

Well, certainly your plan to go to random websites and demand that everyone stop believing nonbinary gender identities are real is nothing like shoving an ideology down people’s throats via social media! Congratulations, by shutting the fuck up and going away you’re providing everyone with a valuable model for how to…

“Commonly used” in the context of a kinky sex advice column.

...you really are just a babbling dipshit, aren’t you?

There is no such thing as a safe space for being an asshole. That is literally the entire point of safe spaces—they are asshole-free.

The whole day:

I think that it’s really all about knowing and caring about your partner. If they’re all, “You know what I want for Valentine’s Day? I want you to take a day off work, turn off the phone, shut down the computer, and spend the whole day doing kinky shit to me,” then you give it to them. But if that’s just Tuesday for…

“Well, what about Mark Twain?”
