Oh, they did Raul Julia dirty in this one.

This is a bit, right?

The motherfucking Beyonder. No question.

Is it me, or do the Japanese currently have a minor obsession with the word atelier? There’s a TV show about fashion by that name, and various cosplayers seem to be called Atelier-Whatever. Maybe it’s just me.

Bird City?

I get the feeling that the kind of people The Satanic Temple is fighting against wouldn’t actually accept criticism, even if it was based on sound theology. Like all the most hardcore branches of a given religion, Evangelicals and their ilk generally consider themselves the number one authority on Christianity and…

I’ve been wandering through Chomsky’s Propaganda and the Public Mind for some much-needed reassurance that the world is indeed as fucked up as I imagined, with occasional breaks to look through Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach for a little light relief.

I can’t wait to hear Twitter centrists explain that this is all the fault of Russia.

How have we gotten to the place where “Batman show that doesn’t actually feature Batman” is a fucking genre of television at this point?

Because frothing dickbags are rather well represented in the legislative branch, I think.

This is why all calls for bipartisanship are ultimately misguided. The Republicans don’t care about procedure or comity or The Discourse, they care about making sure they can do whatever they want for the forseeable future. The next Democrat in the White House, whoever that may be, is going to have to use every power…
