Well there goes my business plan for opening a secondhand sex toy emporium. I was going to call it Sloppy Seconds. And everything. 

In my adulthood I have tried to keep fresh toothbrushes around the house in case of unexpected overnight visitors -- just a nice thing to offer. Now I’m thinking I haven’t been going far enough.

“save the packaging so you can pass it off as new with your next girlfriend” seems like horrific advice. Rephrasing it to “lie to your next girlfriend about what you’re putting in her body and where it’s been” would be equally bad, but at least more honest. Dude, if your new girlfriend isn’t worth buying a new…

agree, i think Dan kinda missed the point. The letter-writer was worried if she brought up the kink first, it would seem to her partner that she was the one into it, and then Dan went and made that very assumption.

I think Wanna Be’s problem isn’t that she’s secretly into Age Play, it’s that it’s a hard subject to broach without potentially a) sounding like kinkshaming prude if your partner is into it, or b) sounding like this is your secret kink you’re trying to backdoor your partner into agreeing to, if it’s not her thing.…

It is killing me that nobody is talking about fiction podcasts. They are a thing. They are wonderful. Why are they never mentioned? Also Actual Plays are pretty big in the podcast world, as well. We really need to diversify podcast coverage to be more than non-fiction.

It’s bizarre to me that there’s not a single audio drama on the list. This year saw the end of ars PARADOXICA, the musical episode of The Bright Sessions, probably the strongest field ever for the Parsec Awards Audio Drama Long Form category (Uncanny County and Exoplanetary are both superlative), and of course…

Just finished season 2 of Limetown and not only was it well worth the wait (though I wish it were a bit longer this time), it’s still my favorite serialized podcast by a longshot. For anyone who felt let down by The Black Tapes, definitely give Limetown a shot!

No Threedom, no Chapo, no Off-Book, no Citations Needed, no You Must Remember This

Man, that “Star Spangled Man” really is the greatest movie song ever. EVER. Come at me, Singin’ in the Rain!

He was always the best part of the FF movies, though.

It really is an amazing performance. I frankly thought it would be impossible to make a Captain America movie that didn’t portray him as either Adam West hokey or Mark Millar assholey. But Evans somehow managed to thread the needle. The combination of aw-shucks decency and world-weary idealism he brings to the…

I really wanted an entire movie dedicated to Magneto: Nazi Hunter.

I still think hiring Johnson was genius, and was the main force behind making the exceptional cast gel into the type of story he was going for.

I think it’ll work better in this movie, but agreed. Ultimate Peter was pretty young, and his death in the comics felt jarring and unfufilling to me.

Like the one from the daily comic strip? I’m afraid he doesn’t. But this movie is sure to please J. Jonah Jameson as it is chockablock with PICTURES OF SPIDER-MAN.

Yes. Your kid will FLIP for this movie.

If only it had Lord and Miller doing the sequel too. They made one of the rare comedy sequels that didn’t suuuuck (22 Jump Street). I will watch anything they do; they’ve earned my ovation and fame forever.

“Bit by the same radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his abilities, but hid for ten years” is almost as lame an origin story as “bit by a radioactive spider”.

Time makes fools of us all.
