Is the delineation for mutant that they were born with their powers? Because otherwise, what are Spider-man or the Hulks?

The first thing that I thought was that if a man was talking about his “special dressing”, you’d assume it probably had something pretty gross in it.

they resorted to using flash bang devices releasing powder irritants

Fans of popular guy bucking up whenever it’s pointed out that their guy did something shitty are always on time. *sigh* As Chris Rock said on a different subject... “That train’s never late!”

“Frumpy”? I mean, I guess. That’s not what I see, but ymmv.

Or the whole thing was a publicity stunt for two D list celebrities. He got mad because her play on this hand made no sense, which could give the whole game away. Why doesn’t she care about this money at all? Why isn’t she playing to win?

But perhaps the most heart-rendering social media eulogy came from Michelle Pfeiffer

I found the Taylor Rooks interview I was thinking of. And now I’m getting mad about how they did Shaq in this article. He is an interesting, introspective, thoughtful person. He’s wrong about plenty of stuff, but he’s right about a lot, too.

He talks about it a lot, actually.

I don’t think the joke is shitty (problematic), even if it is kinda shitty (dated and mediocre).

stone-age people

The thing that’s key to understanding this phenomenon is how the narrow ideal for feminine beauty is baked into the American standard for Masculinity™. Masculine Men are horny all the time, and when confronted with a Sexy Woman they can hardly control themselves, howling like coyotes at the full moon. Conveniently,…

Came here to say this. 100% Pump & Dump.

Cool. But it sounds like bad acting, so it takes me out of the show.

The accent is making the show hard to watch for me. It doesn’t sound Russian to me, it sounds like an actor fucking up a German accent.

Social media is eroding the fan base for the Oscars.

This is the problem with retrospective analysis; Cosby was fairly progressive for his time. Cosby was paternalistic and could be dismissive towards women? Dude was born in 1937, he is well within the norms of how mainstream culture treated women. Then, in the 80s, Claire Huxtable became an iconic female cultural role…
