I haven’t gotten to this series yet, but it’s on my Netflix queue. You’re certainly making it sound like it’s one to...

There should be a special term for the peculiar contempt you have for people who aren’t just sleazy crooks, but incompetent sleazy crooks. Like, “God, it was bad enough that you even tried this, but to try it and to shit the bed that badly at it is just fucking embarrassing. Couldn’t you at least have applied some rigo…

As I said, I completely understand and am very glad this is only a hypothetical choice on an imaginary Internet poll. (I’m still a little shook by having to consider which is worse, a world without our major pollinators or a world without any fish in the ocean.)

It’s so nuts—I live in Minneapolis, one of the cities that Fucker Carlson talks about on a regular basis in his “OMG the MUSLIMS” rants, and you know what?

Pets have a lot of therapeutic uses too, though. I’m not saying that they should replace antidepressants in practical terms, and I’m glad this is just a silly hypothetical internet poll, but I think a lot of people who have pets see them as just as crucial to their mental health as you see your antidepressants.

“They tend to go further than what I feel comfortable with.”

And I think that jumping to “sex work is inherently exploitative” from “I only ever talk to people being arrested for it” is just as ridiculous.

“Mister Cobblepot was simply making a joke. It’s a shame that so many humorless liberals are taking him literally but not seriously when they hear him say things like, ‘I played this stinking city like a harp from hell’, instead of paying real attention to his plan to build a wall around Gotham to keep the Canadians…

How many sex workers have you spoken to? Because I do know some, and they would be spitting mad that you’ve decided that they couldn’t possibly know what they really want, the poor dears, and you’re just sure they’re being exploited in some way they’re just too darn womany to understand!

Apparently they don’t automatically die after stinging—the stinger is barbed, and it can get embedded so deeply that they tear it off trying to pull it back out (which is a fatal injury). But a lot of beekeepers have learned the knack of helping the bee get the stinger out, letting them live on to do the important…

So the odds that Dowd found out that Trump was lying about something that Dowd had already represented to the grand jury and wouldn’t allow him to correct the misrepresentation are pretty much 1:1, right?

I’m charmed by your belief that she’s literate.

This is too good a cast and title to be wasted on that plot synopsis. Why not have it be about a woman who’s a spy getting over her breakup by flinging herself into her work, and she and her spy friends (all women) are basically treating saving the world like a cathartic post-breakup pub crawl?

I give James Gunn all the credit for that.

Yep! They’re also the ones who claim that all the Marvel movies are cookie-cutter identical, like “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Captain America: The First Avenger”.

Honestly, I think that opens up an interesting discussion on what it means to “cheat on a test”. Once you leave the school environment, it’s very rare that you’re expected to perform individually on anything—businesses work years to try to get people to operate as a team after schools work decades trying to get them…

Prediction: We will see all of those characters, two hours of backstory, and a written dissertation from Thanos explaining his motivations and citing the great moral philosophers of our time, and Thanos’s motivations will still be remarked upon by many critics as a point of weakness for the movie.

Some days the “great job” is sarcastic.

As Stormy Daniels said.

A statement from the White House says, “This latest arrangement of the deck chairs should forestall any further sinking for the time being, but we remain open to new positioning in future.”
