“You come at the king, you best not miss.” If you think that Mueller is taking this long because he’s got nothing, you’re going to be in for one hell of a shock. He’s taking his time and being methodical because he knows that anything less than meticulous and thoroughly-proved charges are going to be dismissed as…

We don’t give them options because options can turn into “options” very quickly. “Oh, we’d never tell you not to take your PTO, absolutely we wouldn’t, but gosh if we don’t have a round of layoffs coming up! So anyway, you can entirely voluntarily skip your PTO and get extra work done, or you can let us know that you…

I sent a text to my girlfriend on Sunday night: “Bad news. Your home team won.”

Art Briles needs to learn that sometimes the purpose of your life is to serve as a warning to others.

I assume you haven’t read ‘The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl’? Or else hate joy and laughter for some reason?

It’s really more like “Every Boomer wants you to think that they were one of the protesters. But the people beating up hippies were the same age as the hippies were.”

Puppy Bowl. I know it’s a shit ton of commercials and it’s goofy as fuck, but those dogs are so cute!

I’ll be honest, I did think that “whiteness” was baked into Batman—the whole thing is about a privileged old-money white boy finding out that you can be rich as hell and still suffer tragedy, and all the ways it fucks with his head--but Bouie makes a compelling argument here. If I was in charge of DC, I would be on…

I’m not entirely sure that “a vaguely hacky-feeling throwback to the 1990s” and “a faithful adaptation of the New 52 DCU” are at all mutually exclusive [rim shot] but I didn’t hate it either. It was just kind of “meh”. I watched it on a plane, it passed two hours of time pretty agreeably, and then I forgot about it…

Queen Heggra. Coincidentally...

I think its biggest problem is that it feels like it was made in 1995. It has that feel of, “We don’t really trust audiences to go along with the conceits of a comic-book universe, so we’re going to smooth over all the comicky weirdness into generic sci-fi action tropes until it feels like everything else out there on…

Also if you still have nightmares about a zombie toddler hiding under your bed and slicing your Achilles tendon with a scalpel when you aren’t looking... that’s Miko Hughes in your dreams.

Yeah, I’ve described it as “there are people who fantasize about this stuff, and then there are people who use those people for camouflage while they hunt down women they can abuse.”

2 Squad 2 Suicidal?

Yeah, I kind of feel like “Nobody should be murdered for their political opinion” is one of those statements that if you ever find yourself adding the word ‘but...’ to it, you seriously need to rethink your life.

“Can’t you just let his corpse collect royalties in peace?”

Dumb question, but... why? I mean, Buffy ended back in 2003, and it’s kind of faded significantly from the cultural relevance it held back when Joss Whedon was the hip young thing and not the creepy guy who gaslit his wife for a decade. Do we really need a rebooted Buffy? Like, ever?

I’d really love to hear this chucklenut explain how he plans to get his agenda enacted with exactly zero political allies in either house of Congress. I know he thinks he’s running for CEO of AmericaCorp, but in the real world, the only thing about Washington he would unite was a desire to humiliate him out of the…

Yeah, this is like men’s rights activists who scream and holler about feminists ignoring cases of sexual assault against men... until one actually happens, at which point they make fun of him for being a beta cuck who can’t defend himself.

Um... no. You’re wrong. You’re confusing “backstory” with “motivation”. I can write a story where a character walks into a bakery and instantly starts salivating the second he sees a donut. He presses his face up to the counter, drool smearing the glass as he gazes with naked avarice at the donut. He empties his…
