Well, keep in mind that a century ago she would have been the one complaining about “drunken Irishmen” and “greasy Italians” (and she wouldn’t have used the terms “Irishmen” or “Italians” either). We’ve forgotten just how much prejudice there was against even other light-skinned immigrants at the time they came over…

“We had nearly 8 full seasons of seeing how devastating and inevitable the threat of the White Walkers was.”

“People should think more about her as a human being and support her refusal to think of this customer as a human being!”

I know it was a typo, but now I seriously want to see an entire final episode that’s nothing but Jon cleaning up the blood from the violent confrontation, occasionally muttering to himself, “I wasn’t even supposed to be here today!”

Cognitive dissonance. These dipshits started off by ginning up outrage against abortion to get evangelical Christians out to the polls to vote in Republicans, primarily because they were upset that the courts were ruling that religious schools had to follow the same laws regarding segregation that public schools did…

He really could have skipped the hugging and the talking like a moron.

I think that’s unfair. The two groups are rapidly merging into a single circle jerk of idiots grifting each other.

Yeah, their first clue that it was a scam should have been when Kris Kobach said, “I wish I’d thought of this!”

Mind stone. Hulk adjusted everyone’s brains so that this doesn’t seem like a big deal.

My private theory is that the Hulk used the Mind stone during the Resnap to adjust everyone’s brains so that all of this makes perfect sense to them and people aren’t affected by PTSD or survivor’s guilt or anything like that.

Speaking as a man who is the father of a trans son and has two trans metamours: FUCK TERFS.

The Avatar one will be Iron Man leaping onto and telepathically “bonding” with Toruk, using a USB cable.

I think it depends on how you define “competence”. I mean, that’s a charge that’s been leveled at pretty much every artist at some point who makes stylistic decisions too widely varied from the norm - van Gogh was accused of simply being unable to paint realistically, Truman Capote famously criticized Beat Generation…

No. There is not such a thing as “objectively bad”, because that implies that it could be determined regardless of individual taste. Think of it as the difference between “hot” and “at a high temperature”. Temperature is an objective measurement, every single properly designed and calibrated thermometer will give…

I really want to print this article out, laminate it, glue it to a baseball bat, and show it repeatedly and forcefully to all the guys in the kink community who say, “Well, if her consent was violated, she should just go to the police. It’s not our job to enforce that kind of stuff.” The justice system is not equipped…

This is, not to put too fine a point on it, because you’re being willfully stupid in order to not to have to confront any harsh truths about the show. Basically, we’ve moved from, “There’s no connection between the actual history of ex-Greycoats who drifted out to the frontier to escape the government they just lost a…

Let me introduce you to my good friend Occam. He’s got a razor, and it has an old saying about ‘If it walks like a duck and it floats like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck’ etched into the blade for some reason.

You’re really terrible at this, you know that? I never said the Browncoats were nothing like the Confederacy. I said the Browncoats were exactly like the Confederacy with all of the morally horrible parts swept under the rug. You keep saying, “But I can’t see any horrible parts here!” And I keep responding, “Yes,…

I haven’t addressed it except for the fact that it’s literally my point. The whole point I’m making is that taking the Confederacy and refusing to depict any of the horrible things they did to black people so that they can seem just while their opponents seem tyrannical is bad. Every time you say, “But the Browncoats…

Then let me ask you this: Can you come up with a meaningful and practical way to distinguish between a series where the Browncoats are Space Confederates because Joss Whedon wants to present a sympathetic allegory for the Confederacy, and a series where the Browncoats are Space Confederates because Joss Whedon simply…
