Backlash to the backlash to...

“Great” might be a stretch. As per usual around these parts, this is more an advocacy piece trumpeting an artist ticking off identity and political positions that dovetail with this site’s carefully manicured posture. 

So yeah, complicated.

I think characterizing her statement as “finally...” was a bit leaning.

Jesus fucking Christ I’m so done with the AV Club’s bullshit. Your exhausting screeds about everyone’s misdeeds go nowhere, offer no insight and contribute nothing but clicks for your Amazon affiliate links. Your endless tsk tsk-ing and pearl clutching do nothing to make any material change for anyone on earth. You…

But what if they meant “fount of accuracy” instead of “font of accuracy...”?

I think if Grime’s husband characterized input as “feedback” instead of error, we’d all be hunky dory with it.

These “What I’m reading now...” lists are typically bullshit. The books are always recent and oh-so-precious titles that are being pushed by P.R. machines. Nobody wants to brag that they’re reading a six year old James Paterson paperback they got for a quarter at the library book sale.

I think invoking your stance against “anime gatekeeping” more than once is just as annoying as “anime gatekeeping.”

From a transcript of the “Raiders” story conference, here’s what George Lucas proposed: “He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven...”

Yeah, I got suckered into that video. But I’ve watched some JCS videos previously, so I didn’t think much when it showed up. It might be like when reruns of “Perry Mason” were recommended to almost everyone on Netflix. They were just in the “sweet spot”. While the JCS videos are interesting, you don’t have to be a…

Same here. I am a Dyson evangelist after picking one up on newegg for $179. It’s sex-toy purple and proudly hanging in my kitchen. I use it every day and it’s the best appliance I’ve ever had.

Saying people are dumb is a bit cynical for my tastes. But I will posit that the average person possesses average intelligence.

Correct, but it’s really a political advocacy piece in the guise of a Joe Rogan take-down. I may agree with most of it but it’s as biased as a FOX News talk show preaching to the converted. It’s also condescending and doesn’t really offer much insight. It’s basically trolling Joe Rogan supporters for clicks. 

Early on, Limbaugh had a certain mean-spirited supervillain glee rooted in a knee-jerk contrarianism that could be funny at times. He quickly drank a bit too much of his own Kool Aid and became drearily repetitive and rote. New York “conservative” Bob Grant was a pioneer of right-wing talk shtick but it was pretty…

Democrats are Republicans who don’t like guns or restricted access to abortion. Fuck Joe Rogan but fuck the two party “system” also.

Across several different devices HBOMax is the crashiest streaming app I have ever used.

I second this. I can parse the stuff about Korean’s not being hired as writers and that’s obviously a problem. But as recounted above, this is an indecipherable mess of a story.

Firs they came for Hulk Hogan and I sad nothing. Next they came for Kimmie Schmidt...

Psychiatry is not really benefiting from these cheesy click-bait diagnostics that people use to condemn others that irk them (and authors use to sell books.) The recent gaslighting & narcissism epidemics come to mind. These armchair Psych 101 hashtags seem to sprout like wildfire and dissolve just as quickly when a…
