Romcoms definitely fucked me up on this one. They also give the entirely inaccurate impression that once you find someone you love, you should stay with them no matter what, because Love Conquers All. So even if you do have a discussion/argument/screaming match, you might just grin and bear it because you love each…

I have been proposed to twice. The first time, the proposer proposed at his favorite ride at Walt Disney World. It basically ticked all the boxes you hit in this article—was worried I’d say no, wanted to show off, was all about him. He was all about pressure—because apparently pressuring your partner into everything…

Yeah, I’m an under-30 and my only reference for Roma Downy is jokes some 30-somethings make on a podcast I listen to.

Total scuttlebutt but: Considering his first “snack” takes an hour and a half, I’m thinkin’ that’s code for “my daily jerk-off.”

Defunctland is must-see TV in my household. Perjurer’s got a great storytelling style.

I knowwwwwwwwwwwww.

Short answer: no.

I read this book as well and enjoyed it immensely, with the caveat that the parts where he’s in Liberia read like they’re a totally different book, and I ended up skimming most of that.

My husband and I were looking at houses this week and we came across a closet with one of these! Had no idea they were so expensive. Now I wish the house had been nicer so I could have one for free :(

Yeah, I looked up some Youtube clips after learning about this show from Joel McHale and it’s...unspeakable. Every time they think they’re going to get something emotionally meaningful, but they usually end up with something incredibly awful. And you can see how the friend thinks the shitty tattoo they designed is…

My feeling with problematic creators is that, if they don’t make up a majority of the creative force behind the project, then I’m allowed to enjoy the thing. After all, it’s not like Tom Cruise is responsible for every part of the project being as good as it is—he didn’t sound design or choreograph or costume design…

Saw someone on Twitter point out that some of the “controversial” tweets Cernovich is pinning on celebrities are tweets where they mention...going to pizza restaurants. Which seems funny until you remember that he likes spreading the theory that the Democratic elite have child sex trafficking rings based out of pizza…

As a massive Die Hard fan, I went into this honestly without much expectation. The worst possible Die Hard film has already happened, so honestly the Rock, who seems to work hard to ensure his films are at least good actiony fun, had nowhere to go but up.

I can see your point, but it actually sounds like Seltzer believes that this case establishes some form of legal precedent, which is a real thing. If this case is seen as precedent, then it can be used in future, similar cases to help establish how those cases go forward. So if another author has a similar lawsuit,…

FYI--looks like most if not all cases of the word “unusual” have been replaced with the word “usual” in the article. Made me do a few double-takes :P

Yup yup yup, me too. Off the top of my head these are the only times I’ve returned things in the past 4 years:

A very genuine thank you, for discussing something that’s not some variation of “but who’s to blame?”

I agree with your assessment. I’ve definitely had the feeling of “wait, so who can I trust?” in the wake of all the recent allegations, and that plus the demand on our nerd creators to be perfect and on point about all…

Really enjoying the *range* of 80s fashion in this screencap. Most films that look back on the 80s stick to one type of 80s fashion—probably because so many films of that era focused on particular social groups. I like that we’re seeing punk-rock, still-rocking-the-70s-shit-I-have-in-my-closet, and and…

Would love a name for that T-Rex cafe—I live in Gainesville and had no idea we had anything like that around here. Unless Boca Fiesta has seriously upped their dinosaur theme.

I’m inclined to go with your well-founded gut feeling! And I know this is an overused type of comment, but I would read your memoir. I feel like you’ve gotta know a lot about grace under pressure.
