It seemed like they were going pretty consistently for the stereotypical misogynist lines, what with all the "You should smile more."

Shush lost was great. Mostly.

I don't see it mentioned, but they also started another "7 Up" series back in 1999, the participants, one of whom is a friend of mine, last being interviewed at 21.

They did say it has a bad case of sequelitis which is pretty similar. Also, if you watch the finding dory video they basically hammer out that same opinion.

I've always thought that, in order to understand Parks and Rec and Ron Swanson, you need to realize that it's very connected to the political context in which it was first written. That brief post-Obama election honeymoon period when there seemed to be genuine enthusiasm for public life, at least in liberal circles.…

Back in preschool, my mother would record Bill Nye for me so that I could watch them multiple times. Bill Nye the Science Guy sparked my initial interest in the scientific process, and now I'm just beginning my career in a scientific field. I'll always be grateful to him and his show.

This is surprising. Ignatiy combed his hair! Though one Mr. Dowd still looks like he'd be sticky if touched.

You can't separate the movie from the theater experience. Visually, it was such a break from the usual blockbuster than it's understandable why he wanted to play it safe story-wise.

Was Minna's Mandarin accurate? I was watching the episode wondering if the actress actually spoke it since she seemed quite comfortable. I can imagine how hard it would be to focus on getting the tones right.

Who is in turn a less talented Jake Gyllenhaal.

Friday Night Lights!

I don't know if y'all did this in the 80s, but pledging allegiance to Texas after we said the US pledge struck me as very weird even as a high schooler.

Which means white, apparently.

It's definitely mostly isolated online, where political soap boxing is a sort of cultural capital. I go to one of the most liberal universities in the US, and even here you don't generally see this craziness.

I feel like if I were a Trump supporter and wanted to convince people that he's right that "PC culture" is out of control, I would show them this.

Life of Pi!

It's hard to find a consensus since the wage gap is such a political issue, but, from what I've read, about half of it "can't be explained" (basically, workplace discrimination) by things such as different working hours, different career choices, maternity leave, etc, which is not to say that we shouldn't ignore the…

The Suburbs and Brill Bruisers are such good albums.
