Starship Troopers is an amazing movie, David Roth is an incredible writer and Great Hills Partners are among the biggest group of fart-huffing, self-satisfied morons in a fetid sea of private equity vultures.

I’ve been trying to find out why TERFism seems to be so much more common in the UK, and the answer I keep getting is that British feminism never faced these sorts of intersectional challenges to the default “woman’s” experience like American feminism did in the 70s and 80s, and as result the movement is still

In the way where she loudly and repeatedly says she’s a feminist, and presumably wants you to forget the scene in one book where a female villain was implied to have been pack-raped by a bunch of centaurs as punishment for being a bad person.

“After much consideration, I am dropping out of the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ franchise. It’s a stain on my professional career and I feel profound regret about my part in it.”

Well, the original TERFs (the ones who were truly “radical feminists”) seemed to be really caught up in this academic point about whether or not the experience of growing up being treated as female was intrinsic to female identity.

It’s odd that if Shake Shack HAD poisoned the police, the PBA’s recommended course of action wouldn’t be for the employee to take paid administrative leave, while an investigation was conducted by other Shake Shack employees. Hmmm...

The dinosaurs in this looks so cartoony in comparison to their surroundings, the props they interact with, and the occasional non-dinosaur animals (the aurochs) that it almost sort of works as a stealth prequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, explaining how toons evolved along a separate track that flesh and blood

The day is mine! I’ll take Famous Titties for $400.

“Hey, we don’t serve gay fairies here!”

Aww, I fucking love it. Not because it’s good, but because of how entertainingly batshit and nonsensical it is. Bill Paxton is a goddamn tornado whisperer. There are the plucky, underdog tornado-chasers and the evil corporate tornado-chasers who we know are evil because they drive fancy late-model black mini-vans. The

In JK Rowling’s defense, mismatched genitals to toilets is a serious problem. Why, after a trip to Chipotle this one time, I used the wife’s toilet and ruined it!
