Yeah, and since scientists and mathematicians like Al-Biruni had figured out what had to be the approximate circumference of the Earth centuries before using what’s essentially basic trigonometry, Columbus’s contemporaries were absolutely right to think his underselling was ridiculous.

Also the Chinese in 1421, according to British author Gavin Mezies.

We need to stop talking like mass shootings are some sort of naturally occurring phenomena. People are talking about them like they are Dragon attacks. Oh boy, we have not been praying enough, dragons are attacking again.

Like the rest of us, Foreman just wants to grill Seagal.

If you have never seen George Foreman fight in his prime look it up on youtube. I would not want to be punched by George no matter how old he is.

HE’S NOT AS GOOD AS HE ONCE WAS, BUT HE’S AS GOOD ONCE AS HE EVER WAS.

First part looked more like the Stargate origin story. Humans rebelling against the Goa’uld.

But do you think that Jason Ritter show will be good

Just a few weeks ago, a man walked into a house in Plano, Texas and shot and killed 8 people before getting killed by police. As Kimmel noted, events like that are literally a blip on the national radar. 8 dead in a single shooting, and we’ve become so inured that we literally treat it as just a thing that happens.

I thought Apocalypse reeked of studio interference.

ALSO I have strong feelings about the last two X-movies to come out.

Apocalypse was somehow worse than X3. Coming off Days of Future Past, which was a surprisingly elegant movie with a million moving parts, Apocalypse was a total slog with terrible performances and a general whiff of “are we just doing this for the…

Is this the first time an AV Club Staffer has addressed the fact they are bleeding commenters?

Yeah, it definitely sounds like Loren Bouchard still had an Adult Swim mindset when he first pitched the show.

On a related note, the vice president of Adult Swim didn’t like Morty’s original characterization (he was originally just a spineless idiot who never stood up to Rick), so Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon made him more assertive in the actual show, and it worked like a charm.

It’s the end of the season. Like with Game of Thrones a few weeks ago, there tends to be a lot of stuff to report on.

I don’t know, I think it’s important to have clear eyes and properly discern what the attack was. An “act of terrorism” requires that the act was caused by political and religious reasons. It’s important to note because the government needs to investigate possible links to other conspirators and because we, as people,…

It’s literally in the headline, as the AV Club continues, and fails, to cover politics.

Exactly. Though it’s true he’d likely be called it if he weren’t white, I don’t think we have a reason to think that he was trying to affect political change via creating terror in his shooting. He was just a mass murderer who wanted to kill people, until we know more we shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

“The words “domestic terrorist” were not invoked.”

If God has to have an ex-wife, well, Tricia Helfer’s the right person for the job.
