Yeah, people conflate the Afghanistan and Iraq wars but when the Taliban refused to give up al Qaeda leadership there was no way we weren’t retaliating.  Iraq was mostly Saddam playing chicken with the U.S. and betting wrong.

2000 was such a weird time. It really did feel like society was collectively moving into the future and that flying cars and spaceships were right around the corner. Then 9/11 came a year later and vibe checked and entire nation. 

My aunt was a programmer back in the 80s and wound up re-entering the workforce in the late 90s doing Y2K compliance. She said they all knew back in the 80s that two-digit years would cause the program to crash once the year turned over to 00, but memory was too tight to spare additional digits, and it seemed absurd…

Looking at that RATM protest now is infuriating. Fuck purists, so hard.

Actors have been playing bad people for as long as acting has existed. And it was no big deal when someone played Polanski in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

Of course, it’s the gangster planet.

Speaking as someone who plays and teaches drums for a living, I can attest to the awesomeness of this fill. Phil Collins has always been severely underrated as a drummer, because he’s such a poster child for sucky grampa rock, but dude could serve up a serious groove, and had chops to spare. 

I use a website called the Avclub. It used to be pretty good but then a thing called “Kinja” happened followed by another thing called “Spanfeller” happened and it kinda went downhill fast.

I dont know what youre talking about. Johansson would make a great Jet

If they ever make that Cowboy Bebop movie, I suggest they put up a sign at the auditions: “If you are Scarlett Johannson, please leave.”

Saldana’s words really show up how Scarlett “I should be allowed to play any tree or animal” Johansson was just being entitled as fuck.

This song cost them 1/8 the budget of the whole season.

Here, let’s add another point to the list of why people don’t like the left - the inability to understand that rightfully criticizing one side for being stupid doesn’t mean supporting the other side.  Believe it or not, it’s not that difficult to be anti-racist, sexist, etc. and also think that cancelling a screening…

After reading Meet Me in the Bathroom, I have so much admiration for the Killers. Post-90s notions of credibility did a number on their peers, who weren’t all that gracious toward these non-New Yorkers who just wanted to make melodic music and get paid. 

THIS JUST IN: Cops and Robbers, that childhood imagination game, has been reinvented as Peace Officers Collaborating with Marginalized BIPOC Communities to Ensure that Resources are Allocated Equitably.

THIS ALSO JUST IN: children no longer interested in playing; now spending time laying in bed, staring at ceiling.

Which is probably why this Lois Leveen lady shouldn’t have chosen this as the hill to die on and given them ammo.

Yes, Kindergarten Cop is only a movie. So are Birth Of A Nation...

I’m looking forward to Accounts Payable.
