Everyone is horny for buff Jared Kushner.

The theory I’ve seen to explain this is having to fulfill a contractually-obligated amount of screen time for non-Freddie characters. But I don’t know if any theory could explain what’s in that clip.

Question: is your room entirely covered in Heath Ledger Joker posters, or are there a few Tyler Durden ones mixed in?

Becoming a fully atomized subject of capital is self-care. All human relationships are transactional, so don’t perform the emotional labor of being even minimally civil unless they Venmo you first. Don’t look up Hochschild’s original definition of “emotional labor,” use the internet’s definition (any action that makes…

I just need to know if anyone says “smell my belly button,” my favorite Finnish insult (the only one I know).

Springsteen ripoffs, Dylan ripoffs, Replacements ripoffs...it’s a shame such a prolific ripoff artist turned out to be a scumbag.

It reminds me of the time the pastor of an evangelical church wrote a letter to the editor condemning my parents’ United Methodist church for selling pumpkins at Halloween. This weirdo decided that trick-or-treating was Satan worship, and how dare anyone not share his outlandish interpretation of the text.

Well, I didn’t like Enterprise when it came out. So I moved on with my life like a normal person. I didn’t hate-watch it and then go onto Trek BBS or whatever was around then and whine about it. I didn’t post lamentations that it didn’t live up to some vague standard based on my platonic ideal of Star Trek.

It’s funny how a review that criticizes the episode for not going into some arbitrary level of “depth” is so glib and vague with its complaints (I’m not calling them “critiques” given how surface-level they are). Take this part:

Another for the “bizarrely angry Discovery review” pile. This one is better at seeming like it’s not a “waaaaah this doesn’t make me feel like TNG made me feel when I was 9" screed than the ones on Reddit, but that’s all this is.

My first thought when hearing that her character was named Jet Reno was “that’s a Star Wars-ass name,” but then I remembered that her real name is also extremely Star Wars, so fair’s fair.

Pinkerton! We got a Pinkerton here!

About time this masterpiece got the respect it’s due. I’ve been doing my part.

Maybe people like Philip Marlowe, the Shadow, the Lone Ranger. If they’re extremely ambitious they might try to make a non-racist Fu Manchu. Moore did make a few teams for this time with pulp characters, as did Warren Ellis did in Planetary. It would be a shame to just repeat these, so I would be on board for the…

Please say a prayer for the poor souls who will be compelled to spend ungodly amounts of time creating canon justifications for every gag. This will be very hard on their families.

Cremate my top half and cram the ashes up my bottom half, right in front of fucking Brian from the HOA.

Absolutely not. The US’s standard conception is that Democrats are the left, and Republicans are the right. This is, of course, insane, ahistorical, Cold War nonsense. And political differences aren’t “tribal signifiers,” they’re differences in material interests, differences in core values, different opinions about…

One of my favorite moments was in the finale, when they’re walking down the corridor, and Tilly butts in between Ash and Michael, and gives Michael an “I’m here for you” look. Tilly is ride or die. She and Michael already have the best Trek friendship since Geordi and Data.

I’ve never heard of that New Berlin, I’m only familiar with the one on the moon. I believe it’s near Lake Armstrong.

It’s win-win: Liberals get to pretend they’re activists for refraining from using slurs, conservatives get to pretend they’re under attack by squads of Maoist guerillas whenever anyone objects to using slurs.
