Yeah, rural PA born and raised here and this:

I grewup in rural northern lower Michigan and knew many people living these types of circumstances. Now, perhaps my ‘privilege’ was being born to MA degreed librarians descended from industrious German and Polish stock in the economic and cultural center for the approx. 100 mile square micro-region and that’s why I…

“Ram” and “Chaos and Creation in the Backyard” are two of Paul’s most underrated, fantastic albums.

This is the first I’m hearing of this remarkable theory!

I’ll try to explain. Of course you’re free to disagree as well. Two generations ago power structures were, at least post American Victorian Era (the 50s) unassailable. By the Nam era however, the door was open, so you said what no one said before (so you didn’t get dragged before the House Un-American Activities…

How about a big “fuck you” to everyone involved in yesterday’s Big Fucking Game? Thanks a lot. Why aren’t college games just relegated to a sports channel anyway? The presence of college (and sometimes fucking high school) games in major broadcast coverage has always mystified me, but then I’m Canadian. (Seriously, I…

“Times like these” had me crying like a baby while I made breakfast this morning. It’s been an emotional week and that song came out right before I graduated college, moved into my own apartment, started my career and met my wife and I associate it a lot with one of the biggest changing years of my life.

It’s kinda what comics do which is why so many of them come off like homophobic or transphobic trash lately. The second you say something’s off limit, a sacred cow, they, by instinct, have to go after it. They know that’s the comic gold, in some respects. Yes, punching down isn’t what many want, but when you’re on…

Yeah, one of the reasons they’re so hard to catch is because, outside of their ‘rituals’, there is little rhyme or reason to their killings. 

Dead on.  Silence of the Lambs and Criminal Minds has altered the perception of these people to be clever and smart.  The reality is while smart serial killers are absolutely a thing, most aren't.  The average IQ is 93, below average.  Many are disorganized, kill on an impulse, and are caught fairly quickly.  Hell…

Better summation than the article!

Did you try “She’s a serial killer”?

I’m surprised Dennis didn’t mention this because he always talks about the politics in the show but it was the first time I can remember where they openly took a partisan position in a presidential election. Yes you could sometimes tell which candidate the show leaned towards but they were very obvious and explicitly…

I think that that premise was really just to set up the segue into the sleepover bit rather than an actual political point, but it was still a dumb thing to say.

Yeah, he’s dead and his views died with him. You’re not going to change his mind, educate him, or find out if his opinions have evolved in the years since that interview was filmed. You aren’t going to enrich him by watching his work, you aren’t going to deprive him of anything either. His personal life, views and…

Maybe...maybe he’s just in a diabetic coma.

Dune - delayed until 2021

I didn’t quite feel the same about Dani and Jamie. I might actually be a dated representation though lol. The scene with her and her seamstress was deeply felt by me. So relatable, the scene in her car trying to explain she was waiting to feel what she was supposed to feel clicked as well. Even the idea of her making…

Do you...remember what it was like to be queer before the 2000s? Nowadays, even though people still live in the closet, the cultural opinion has changed rapidly. It was still scandalous in 1997 when Ellen Degeneres came out. In 1987? LGBTQ people were villainized and the US just started to do something about the AIDS…
