People drove taxis as a job. Stop blaming the poor and start blaming corporations.

Side gigs still pay employees minimum wage.... So while I don’t fully understand your point, I just want to clarify that these people do indeed have a job, they drive for Uber. They would just like this job to be treated like almost every other job. Only an idiot wouldn’t get that.

If people didn’t do this full-time, the platform would die, full stop. Rides would cost far more and service would be slower (or nonexistent) pretty much everywhere.

Pikachu looks good

This movie feels like a weird time displaced artifact of 1995, complete with a manic Jim Carrey, the completely out of place use of Gangsta’s Paradise, and the “THE VIDEO GAME GETS REAL” vibe of the whole thing.

It’s like from an alternate reality where the Super Mario Bros. movie was a mega hit and Sega, desperate to…

He doesn’t seem to fully get the real problem here.

I mean, the amount of episodes really is determined by the story. I’ve seen 8 episode TV shows that were masterpieces and 100+ episode shows that suck. 

We sure as hell talked about it! Just we couldn’t get traction in the conversation because - being not-male and, therefore, not “real fans” - our opinions were disdained as irrelevant.

Being a “fan” of a mass murdering space nazi is a sad delusion.

As a professional creator, authorial intent is absolutely a thing.

Was just speaking to my friends about this supposed outrage, and man, how far have we fallen to take offense in having a black character going back in time to prevent slavery. It's not only outrageous, it's sad . . .

Yup they would get in the elevator and say nothing to you and just wait for you to push the a button close to their floor. Cheaters!

I think you just did.

Life must be very hard for you.

What? Seriously, what the hell are you actually talking about?

Having discussed the film with the director, I’m fairly confident in my understanding of it. Thanks for reading, though.

You might think that this is nitpicking at a story that offends me because I am a journalist and predisposed to finding this kind of story offensive. The problem, however, isn’t just with “The Journalist” but the way its ending brings the central worldview of all of its stories into sharper focus.

False and hateful news is a problem. But there is a lot of very excellent news out there, hiding in plain sight. When people complain about how awful the media is, there’s truth to that, but it’s also a dangerous overstatement, and it makes me want to shake those people and say, well stop flipping watching cable news…

I always liked PvZs parodies of them,

An official KonMario kit!
