I wish I could upvote this more than once.

A comment which led me to the discovery that you can sing "tits and dragons" to the tune of "Love and Marriage."

Can you really trust a Death Eater with command of a starship?

I was just about to write the same thing

You can't really say something is just a distraction, when it's all substantively bad things with real world effects that are distracting from other bad things with real world effects.

If anyone is casting a Dracula film, he has Renfield written all over him

"Exceptional" is one of those funny words that's usually complimentary, but isn't necessarily so.

Well when Stephen Miller was first rolled out to the chat shows (on a dolly, like Hannibal Lecter, I imagine) a strong percentage of the commentary I saw was pointing out that he looked like a skin-eating homunculus.

SJW neoliberal?

Yes, the very first thing he did as Iron Man was kill 6 terrorists with simultaneous precision headshots, yet in Iron Man 2 he has serious trouble with a dude who is half-naked but has electric whips

But for the shittiest of white people Willow Rosenberg doesn't count as white people, does she?

That is a good way to put it. I've noticed the same thing in other "real life" appearances, that he seems like he's often playing a character of himself.

Hadn't thought of this in a while, but (for me at least) there was some degree of grinding in the first Legend of Zelda. I found the hidden shop that sold The Blue Ring fairly early, and then ran around killing things approximately forever until I had enough money to buy it.

You don't need to have a plan to defeat ISIS. According to that Flash Gordon villain who's apparently the new terrorism guy, all you have to do is repeat the magic phrase "radical islamic terrorism" and ISIS vanishes like a boggart back into a wardrobe.

But merely because something is ill-conceived and clearly disastrous is no reason to think Republicans won't do it anyway. That's basically the whole cabinet at this point.

Maybe? It refers to freshmen and sophomores - juniors and seniors being "upperclassmen." And these terms usually apply to the standard four years of university as well (i.e. you're a senior in high school, then graduate and if you go on, you become a freshman at your university.)

I just had to look up who that was.

I don't remember the ritual content with any degree of specificity, but I brought it up because Gaiman co-wrote it.

Though, come to think of it, the cult from the first vol of Sandman was revisited in the Sandman Midnight Theater one shot which (according to the internet) was published in 1995.
