Also, he wavered on Darth, too. Let’s not forget that he did have that exact same look on his face when he realized that he was about to murder his dad that he did when he realized he was about to murder his nephew. (Have I mentioned how damn much I love Mark Hamill’s acting choices in TLJ?)

Hulklahoma.

But do they not reach those levels because they’re “insufficiently motivated to succeed” by coaches who treat them like human beings, or because they don’t get the opportunities that the women who go with the well-connected and famous coaches do?

Has anyone tried...not yelling and screaming at these women? Like, maybe telling them that they’re proud of them and they believe in them and they know that they can do anything they put their minds to? I mean, I know there’s this deep-rooted institutional belief that the only way to make an athlete succeed is by…

She feels like a Doctor Who companion just waiting to happen.

There’s a lovely Netflix original series called “The Big Family Cooking Showdown” that stars (among others) Nadiya Hussain from GBBO Series Six. It’s got that same vibe of charming people making scrummy food and being terribly nice to each other, win or lose.

“The monuments, statues and icons are a historical fact.”

No, no, that was a memoir of his experiences working on The Flying Nun.

He said at a con I was at once that it wasn’t just a clause in his will--his wife Susan had promised to burn all his unfinished work before she did anything else. If she honored his wishes, it’s already gone.

I agree, but that’s really only a small step from Kennedy’s “well, technically speaking there’s still a single abortion clinic located somewhere in the middle of Texas that’s open two days a week to mothers who are less than 21 weeks pregnant and have been forced to name their fetus and sign a waiver stating that they…

I’m not trying to downplay it, but there are people in the comments literally saying this is the end of the United States of America and that democracy had a good run but it’s all over for us now. I’m just trying to keep it in perspective by saying that this makes things incrementally worse but that it is not the end…

To put it into perspective, the Republicans already had a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court. It is very very bad, yes, but it was also very bad yesterday. (Literally, if you look at the shitty decisions they handed down yesterday.)

“The elephant in the room is that while 999 trans kids having their lives destroyed by being denied hormones is unfortunate, only a single cis kid mistakenly attempting transition actually qualifies as a tragedy.”

Chris Cillizza is already drafting his article about the need for Heather to be civil to Fields, instead of damaging his car.

Yes, I’ve often heard about respectful rugby slogans like, “Give blood, then gently play rugby with respect for the other player.”

Bullshit. Pure, unmitigated horse crap. They didn’t vote for Trump because they thought he could help them, they voted for Trump because they thought (rightly) that he would punish the people they hated. They don’t want someone to throw them a life preserver, they’re just happy to see women and minorities tied to an…

Terry Crews isn’t the hero we deserve, but he’s the hero we need.

I mean “Ssh, you’re wrecking the joke.” :)

Although frankly, if you told me that movie Tony and movie Nat were both bi/pansexual, I would not bat an eyelash in surprise. Same with Thor, for that matter. And I would happily ship Cap and Bucky if you told me that the whole Sharon/Peggy Carter thing wasn’t him being “shy” and “courtly” and “old-fashioned”, it was…

Well, if you assume that his actual goal is to deny Thanos the Space stone while finding a way to weasel out of all the blame for it, he’s really doing a much better job than he first appears to. It’s something of a redemptive reading, but it’s entirely possible to construct a subtext that Loki is doing what he knows…
