If a spoiler ruins a movie/show for you, then it wasn’t a strong enough movie on its own. I still like to be surprised, but visual surprises are much more fun than narrative ones, and the truly great narrative ones require a set up that can’t be spoiled in a sentence.

A D&D run Star Wars for the people that hated The Last Jedi, to match their tastes

*Natalie Merchant angrily tweets Mazzy Star’s home addresses*

What about food deserts?

I’m pretty sure the consequences to natasha’s actions are because she posted the woman’s picture and tried to get her in trouble, to the point of following up with the MTA when they asked for specifics. She went after this worker publicly in an effort to shame her when there exist methods to snitch on the worker…

It’s surprising in that the narrative up until recently had been that she was tempering those tendencies so that she could have the viciousness of some of her family, but for the noble reasons of the other part of her family. 

It would take an act of God for the markets to tank in the past 2 years with the policies he was pushing. Not out of some grand genius plan, it’s just that it’s pretty easy to give the markets a sugar rush a la tax cuts and deregulation. But what it does is undercut real, sustainable growth. If Trump’s lucky the sugar…

“Step-Husband!”

It was “inevitable” if it was played as a straight tragedy. The entire series you have Dany with the baggage of her Father and Brothers’ madness. But you also have her going from living under the auspices of a Targ sycophant to child bride to wandering wanna-be, the book-based show played with Dany being different.…

Yikes, I hear ya, hearing that tariffs are bad from 4 disparate major schools of economic thought can be deafening.

I’m at the point where we need real life consequences to poor economic policies, all this brinksmanship before teaches nothing. I have friends living in the UK, but I want a hard Brexit for the same reason, so that the Leavers actually have to face immediate consequences and possibly learn.

I honestly wonder how the Wharton School hasn’t spoken up about Trump’s grades, because his economic illiteracy shines poorly on them. 

There’s no pressure to have American goods maintain a low price. So as costs on Imported goods go up, American-made goods will also go up in price to just below the cost of Imported goods because they know they can increase profit and still gain market with impunity because the Government is giving them a free pass.…

Low key want LaPierre to be a grifter playing the NRA. But he’s a human piece of shit outside of this, so not very likely.

I wouldn’t blame Martin on this one. It’s more clearly that he’s trying to do a nature vs nurture route, and in mirroring Arya and Jon’s narratives, about how it’s about what happens to you along the way not your parentage that takes effect. Viserys was horrible, Aerys was horrible, Book!Rhaegar hasn’t been really…

Naturally Jonah finds matrimonial bliss for at least 24 years with his half-sister.

Oh man, an old school Marxist and a gender essentialist! I thought you dinosaurs died out!

On the upside I guess The Expanse will never be cancelled?

Why should people have to work, though? Unless you’re going to go full stop at breaking the future loom, there’s going to be a point where people will be unable to support themselves with work because there will be no work to be had. If there is to be a state, then it should be the state’s duty to ensure that the…

Friedman supported UBI. This dude’s just a dick that doesn’t understand basic policy outcomes.
Non-hungry kids do better in school, leading to better education outcomes, leading to better skills learning, leading to better contribution to society, leading to less need on public services.

This whole “appeal to my wallet”…
