The Snyder dorks are already frothing that the new regime isn’t hiring people with PASSION FOR THE LORE!!!1!

“It was a really tough choice, but ultimately I went with my gut and chose myself.”

Ordinary fuckin’ people.
I hate ‘em.

I imagine during the pandemic her agent and manager gagged her and locked her in a closet without her phone for a year. She been vocally anti-vax for years, not just because of the autism bullshit, and I don’t recall her saying anything about Covid disinformation.

Oh I so tire of the drubbing How Green Was My Valley gets, for having the temerity to receive the Academy’s recognition over Citizen Kane.  I can’t even compare the films, because they are so different, but Valley is a marvelous film in its own right, one of John Ford’s very best, and ought to be regarded on its own…

As someone from the city itself, I found Belfast absolutely nauseating. Twee, inauthentic nonsense with Van Morrison blaring over the whole film. It’s the Irish equivalent of Hillbilly Elegy.

It sounds like there’s a conspiracy to hush up this disaster that no longer has any vested parties.

I can assure you trusting the cops in the late Victorian age is a real throw of the dice.  The Ripper murders in particular are a mess.  A mix of police genuinely trying to solve the murder and plenty of individuals making assumptions.  The cops just assumed all the victims were prostitutes purely because they were…

Herman Webster Mudgett you are correct. Wow did I butcher that name goddamn. Still, that name sums him up, its an unappealing name that sounds sleazy, Henry Howard Holmes sounds like a prestigious name you could trust.

Basically you have two non-historians (in an academic sense) writing books about H.H. Holmes and disagreeing, because the records about him are poor and largely consist of newspaper reports in an era when newspapers were pretty sensationalistic. In any rate, I always preferred the part of Larson’s book about the White…

William Mudster Midgitt is quite a name.

Oh nice I quite adore point and click adventure games, Grim Fandango and the early Lucas Art titles like Sam and Max pre Telltale Games. I admit I can be terribly obnoxious and ranty with subjects close to my heart. What do you mean you don’t know about the false legend of Elizabeth Bathorys childhood. Your telling me…

Yeah I'm sadly aware of that.  It also got Part Time Explorer who did a decent Eastland video.  I've worked with the Eastland Disaster Historical Society and they expect mine will suffer a similar fate.  But hey you gotta try I suppose and this is kind of a important event to me beyond being a story I wish more people…

Can relate to your semi negative relationship with pop - I just hate the analysis of most pop culture artifacts by fans, and it makes it impossible to enter in any area, and ultra difficult to learn anything new. I like to dig in science fiction (an area brought down by a reliance on a canon that I think was dubious…

I’ll give a little bit of what Dash said about that as well, because it’s a really interesting bit of context on some of the issues facing people who write popular history.

I wasn’t able to play Elden Ring for more than a couple of hours before giving up — and even that game is supposed to be an “accessible” soulslike. Oh well. Still, this review got me psyched to load up an old Dynasty Warriors title. 

I’m not sure if you’ve met any know it alls, but they do not actually know it all. He plays (may not actually be acting) as a blow hard who insists he knows what’s best and routinely gets shown the error of his ways. When I watch TG or TGT, the impression I get is that this is a man who has gotten to play with…

Whoever they are they should improve their aim

Clarkson is denying that these words mean what they clearly mean, posting on Twitter that he has “not been sacked.” On top of that, a spokesperson for ITV told Sky News that “neither Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? nor Jeremy Clarkson have been canceled.”

He will truly be missed...by someone...probably.
