I know that words from internet strangers aren't as good as a hug in real life, especially in a time as shitty as the one you're having right now, but there are lots of people here who care about you and will do their best to be with you while you deal with this. Me included. I'm really, really sorry that Physics…

Touche!

I'm not sure I've ever seen a show squander its critical goodwill and devoted fanbase as badly or as quickly as Sherlock did.

I have that book, but I don't think I ever made it around to that story. Thanks for the reminder!

There is also a short story called "Black Dog" in Neil Gaiman's most recent collection, Trigger Warning, that follows Shadow when he goes abroad. I liked it a lot, but it doesn't feature any of the other characters from the book except Bastet and (kind of sort of, by proxy) Wednesday.

This adaptation of Preacher got me interested in Ennis' comics, but I've hated every single one I've tried. It seems like the kind of thing I would have really loved when I was an angry 14-year-old who thought Chuck Palahniuk books were gospel, but past that point it's just kind of embarrassing and nasty.

A sex partner's death is only romantic when they leave you a lot of money in their will.

I mean, he's a meathead who's beheaded in a car accident while receiving a blowjob from the main character's wife. (This happens literally in the first chapter, so it's not a spoiler.) It's not as though they're casting him as a romantic lead.

The Trump campaign makes Selina Meyer's campaign look downright functional.

The FOX News mothership tweeted "French TV: 30 dead after truck hits crowd. #Nice" earlier tonight.

True!

Thank God it's not just me.

Absolutely to all of this.

Making Fig blow him and then saying, "sucks to be you. I already handed the evidence over" is kinda rape-adjacent, no matter how terrible Fig is.

"Annoying radical Soso" is a really ungenerous description of that character. Those are traits she has, but I think we've moved beyond that by now.

Dad-a-chum?

I disagree with this article, but I really don't want to throw my lot in with the other people disagreeing with this article because they don't believe Black Lives Matter has a point or that police brutality isn't a problem. Yikes.

Yikes.

Is this the guy who gave a copy of Undertale to the Pope?

Clowns just aren't scary. I'm hoping that this adaptation will show off some of Pennywise's other forms that they couldn't afford in the older one, since that shapeshifting element is one of the spookiest things about It.
