It’s not as bad as the Dems that donated to rebuild a republican campaign office. But it’s still a stupid waste of donations.

Agents of Shield, Luke Cage.

I think you’re ascribing to it the power of agency, like sarcasm and met-snark are shaping society, and I see it more as a reaction by those of us who are (or feel) relatively powerless to change those circumstances.

This is admittedly an overreaction, but thinking about the creativity, intensity and energy that gets invested into these kind of ironic thought-neighbourhoods kind of scares me. I was a sardonic Gen-Xer who thought sarcasm was a great replacement for a personality and wit. I used to think post-modernism was great for…

I come from a big christian music town, and for all the people over, say, 40 who do that, U2 hit them like a ton of bricks. U2 WAS a christian act as far as they were concerned — expressly religious, singing about moral issues, etc. Evangelicals ate it up. I couldn’t possibly care less about this ridiculous band or…

“Sure we fucked you over, and we’ll definitely do it again.... But the Republicans will fuck you over even worse.”

I know this isn’t Bloomberg but I would’ve thought that you would’ve read the comments on the last post about this before writing things like:

This is all Mitt Romney’s fault.

You’d prefer they found a person of color with a penchant for waterboarding and destroying evidence, instead?

I honestly think this is a great idea that will be strangled in its crib.

‘“Non-violent offenders who made poor choices in tough environments as young men,” Bice, a basketball official since 1991, said of the inmates he’s taught.’

But how will you even know to google something if you don’t know it exists?

I think it’s been clear for a while now that Netflix is just trying to be HBO on a bigger scale. HBO has original programming and a few hundred movies revolving each month and that works well for them (at least Netflix uses the right AR). The studios created the problem of there never being one giant dream home for…

3 things I learned from this article -

1) Steve McQueen is British? His American accent is flawless.

2) Steve McQueen is black!? He does a great job at ‘passing’...

3) There are two famous Steve McQueens. That makes more sense.

That’s my patented system I call “TapFinity.” Patent-pending.

I’ve heard of these things called glasses, or tumblers, that one can put under something else called a tap. Apparently, this was used by primitive people to get water.

So it turns out this isn’t Paul Feig the director. Never mind.

Something like this will be announced at a big Disney event and not some random interview.

Because Feige is the overall executive head/President of Marvel Studios.

The MCU is pretty family friendly across the board. A film about a Russian spy/assassin, who’s notably more willing to bend morality than the other heroes, is understandably a tough fit.
