No doubt, and a very good one.

Do you by chance have a self-published book and/or newsletter that I could subscribe to? I’m having a hard time relating to certain simpletons and I feel like this sort of writing would help.

Agreed. Disappointed to see him apparently die, but I’ll be even more disappointed if it’s all a misdirection and he survives.

Nah, I’m omnivorous when it comes to tech and I think the Big 3 all have a lot more positives than negatives. If I was ever a fanboy for any platform it was webOS (RIP). I still use my HP TouchPad, though nowadays it’s always booted to Android.

This is part and parcel of why Apple will always rule the high-end over Google. Apple fans enjoy having a curated experience, where everything feels like it’s been carefully considered and thought out (emphasis on “feels,” since they’ve got surprising blind spots).

Yeah, I think there’s a big difference between Scalia furiously masturbating at the thought of eliminating all gay rights, and Murphy shrugging and saying something to the effect of, “Since you asked, my pastor says gays are bad, so I guess gays are bad.”

Removing the flag is a necessary step. There are many more necessary steps still to come.

“Honestly officer, I saw the whole thing. Gitibizee was just standing there, fist extended, motionless, and somehow that little pissant managed to run directly into it.”

It’s as if it’s not just low-hanging, but it’s actually succumbed to gravity and is now falling to earth ...

There was a time, just a few years before this was released into theaters, that I consumed Star Wars in any form I could find it.

I’ll allow that if one can separate them from the established Star Trek ethos, then they’re probably enjoyable on many levels. Just not for me. Abrams is certainly an adequate and sometimes inspired craftsman of films, and the massive plot holes are more the fault of the screenwriters.

He did it because he hates you, and me, and probably several other people.

I gave his first Star Trek a provisional good grade, because it felt like an incomplete story, the first chapter of something bigger. I had concerns but was cautiously optimistic.

And then the entire squad does a choreographed routine of every TD/sack/INT/first down celebration that has drawn a fine in the past 15 years.

Wow, you gave a legit, serious answer. Nice work.

Whoa, a specific date! I know what that means! You want us to send piles of money. Who do I make the check out to?

However hardened she may appear to be, she’s still human. That’s what makes the show worth watching.

Starred for recognition of Melissa McBride. For all the love that Carol gets, what keeps her from being a cartoon is McBride’s performance. Her emotion after the killing ended was visceral and believable. She not a remorseless machine, she’s just been forced to behave like one.

Ah crap, I’ve heard the “Mets are cheap!” complaint so many times I responded reflexively. I can use the “It’s Monday morning” excuse, right?

The Mets are cheap, but that’s not what this is about.
