I mean there’s a market opening up with the F&F series ending.

Given that the United States is a developed country, the Pfizer vaccine is likely to be quite effective due to us having infrastructure global-south countries do not. I could see if you were complaining about vaccine deployment in sub-Saharan Africa, but this is just cretinous contrarianism.

When I heard that he was going to get a re-do of being a musical guest, my guess was that maybe he was good enough to warrant it. No, no he wasn’t.

I reflexively say it that way whenever somebody mentions the phrase “Metal Gear”.

Plus MGS is fairly cinematically written. Just give me all the big set pieces in non-PS1 graphics and I’ll be happy.

Just a get a motel room and use a taxi to get there.

Third-Person Over-the-Shoulder (TPOTS) make inverting the x-axis intuitive. 

Nah, that fucking rocked in its awfulness.

Nah, I’m a real piece of work.

You guys really need to work on ad placement. The link is in a single line beneath an ad and above another bowling alley “subscribe to newsletter” that took me 3 scans of the article to fully realize that it wasn’t part of either.

I wondered to myself, can this Ernie Cline fellow Speak & Spell, which is also the name of the album on which the song in question is featured. I gave thought into how I’d rather be like the lead singer that died by auto-erotic asphyxiation than have to read this book. Then it occurred to me, no, that’s the INXS guy,…

There’s lots of reasons to attack Stein. But perceiving her to be a “spoiler” 1) when third partiers wouldn’t have voted if there wasn’t a candidate of their liking on the race and 2) there were coordinated attempts to suppress the black vote, it’s that kind of facile thinking that makes me believe she might go off…

What is man but a miserable pile of sea salt

Yeah, it’s really weird to see people making fun of him about his choice about how something makes him feel, something that doesn’t affect anyone else. Like, if he was spouting drug war fake talking points then I could see mocking him. But people having bad experiences with psychoactive drugs is totally a thing, and…

To be fair he’s got “I’m married to Frozen” money.

Actually, with the cost and time that it takes to “do it the right way”, you’re not going to have a lot of low-income first generation immigrants from Mexico and Central America. A lot of the pro-Trump beliefs in some Mexican-Americans is the same reason why the poor and working class vote for him: the belief that it…

That’s really far out, man

The election really handed the Biden administration a win in that they can blame (at best) a slim majority in the Senate for not doing anything about immigration. Basically any “shortcoming” they can blame on the GOP not wanting to play ball rather than their own fealty to neoliberalism. Crossing an imaginary line…

“Good news bad news. We booked someone from the Quaid family!”
“Oh wow! Dennis Quaid?!”
“Uhhh...”
“His rising star son Jack?!”
“Hmmm how to put this...”
“I mean I guess technically Meg Ryan...”
“Look, listen, he’s in my car and I probably shouldn’t leave him there...”
Sirens in the distance and the sound of tires squealing

I mean he had that before he got “famous”.
