It was grand jury testimony.

I loved this back in the day but it also gets increasingly relevant as both it and I age.  

Meanwhile, after I was assaulted by a complete stranger I discovered that once an assaulter is convicted, it’s SOP for the state to take out a restraining order against them on behalf of their victim — who is named on the order, which the assaulter has to sign. So they get to see the name of the otherwise anonymous vic…

Yeah I watched it at home thinking that would ensure I didn’t miss anything if I needed a break, but I wound up sitting through the whole thing because there was never a point where it felt like pausing wouldn’t interrupt the flow.

Ade Edmunds on had a sweet tribute on Twitter about how he was the only Python to go on the Young Ones and how much it meant to them.

Ironically and aptly this is the first time I’ve seen spam in the AV Club comments. Thanks for the beautiful tribute, Digital Marketing Course. 

Every single night scene of Midsomer Murders is weirdly full of fox cries and I’m waiting for the episode where they’re the actual murderers.

My grandfather was in the IRA and I hate the UK tabloids for making me sympathize with the royals, but my leftist ass went so far as thinking that even if they’re born into privilege it still comes with a million more strings than the average rich kid has to deal with.

I don’t watch Supernatural, so Jared is forever lodged in my mind as the guy who tweeted a horrible take on Philip Seymour Hoffman’s drug overdose and I don’t think I can ever enjoy him in anything.

I rewatched that recently with my normal trepidation about comedies I loved as a kid and it really holds up. Charles Grodin and Dyan Cannon are one of the funniest movie couples of all time.

I added this to Pocket without opening the link and there’s just a blank where they usually have the estimated reading time. Excellent piece.

Rubicon sounds so exactly my taste that I’m afraid to watch it because I’ll just wind up sad that it was cut short.

I’m just watching this for the first time and I came here specifically to see if anyone commented on this because it’s so annoying. I have a bunch of cousins who are former marines and I can assure you that doesn’t make them lifelong ninjas. It diminishes the degree to which Carrie & Hood’s fighting skills are a…

It also raises the question of why do you need to go back 150 years to find something good that your party did for black people?

The New Yorker published this great piece last year that makes a similar point about how everyone adoring Mrs. Maisel misses the point of the social & personal friction that lent Joan Rivers’s comedy such a spark.

“Weirdly 80s” was my exact thought about the caricaturish hypocrisy of the beatniks. It reminded me of an episode of Murphy Brown where she totally owns a bunch of pretentious artists who even at the time came across as a very square suburban adolescent’s idea of what a pretentious artist might sound like. Which is a…

But that sliced bread comes in an actual LOAF, so it’s practically a diagram with dotted lines.

I couldn’t remember what you were talking about but then

This made me look up one of my favorite Norm sketches and holy cow I forgot it included a singing, dancing Robert Downey Jr. Oh wait and also Colin Quinn... and shit that’s Mark McKinney. I keep forgetting about that weird brief period where SNL tried hiring people who already had careers.
