I’ve been enjoying this as well. I’m surprised at how quickly it’s caught on: 108K followers in only 10 days.

I finished watching Orphan Black today and I was surprised to discover that these two shows share another cast member aside from Kristian Bruun: Amanda Brugel plays Rita here, and on Orphan Black she was Marci Coates, the political opponent of fellow commenter Alison Hendryx. They’re such strikingly different…

I just finished watching Orphan Black today. Hooray for Delphine and Cosima!

It’s so weird that Sepinwall works for Rolling Stone now.

“The Louis CK model” is not the best name to call something.

The idea that “Indian” is offensive to Native Americans is a myth. The reason to avoid calling them Indians is to avoid confusion with the other people called Indians.

Yeah, I’ve laughed plenty... although I haven’t seen her recent standup so I guess she could be different now.

If American Crime Story taught me anything, it’s that it was very plausible that the LAPD would conspire against a black man. Just because it wasn’t true in OJ’s case doesn’t mean it wasn’t likely.

Wow, so much negativity here. Let me balance that out by saying: I think Cameron Esposito is pretty cool!

Now the really strong people know they can use bats next time.

Life would be a lot different if we could easily separate the good guys from the bad guys. Actually, a lot of racists think it already is that easy. That’s one reason “Make America great again” was so popular.

A lot of people have decided that since making the world a better place is boring and hard, they’d much rather just lash out at their enemies and tell themselves that doing so makes the world a better place. It’s a whole lot easier and more satisfying.

Sorry to bring Trump into this, but whenever I see the word “Billions” now I think of this:

Bugs Bunny was totally a cokehead.

I remember seeing ads for this when I was a kid. I was excited to watch something with all these cartoon characters in it together. Then my older sister told me it was about drugs, which made it seem less interesting, but I still watched it. Its message drove home how important it was to never do drugs, but I already…

This reminds me of an attitude I come across often: “Why should I be good to someone if they’re not good to me?” If people expect to be rewarded for being a decent person, they’ve kind of missed the point.

Today on Tell Us About Your Weekend, a giant bee is saved and a tiny mouse is killed.

My gradual rewatch of Deadwood has finally reached season 3. I assumed I wouldn’t get this far, because this old Newswire article informed me in no uncertain terms that HBO would have removed its shows from Amazon Prime by now. Well, Amazon Prime is still full of HBO shows. It’s good that they’re there but I’m kind of…

I hadn’t seen much of his work, but I watched Treme. He didn’t appear on the show but he was responsible for writing a lot of the restaurant scenes, and was the reason a lot of the other celebrity chefs showed up on the show, according to this piece by David Simon’s wife. When I think of Bourdain, I think of Treme;…

I can understand this feeling. I had a friend whose life was spiraling down until he jumped in front of a car and died. I know he was in a lot of pain but I can’t help but be pissed off at him for all the pain this caused me and others. (It doesn’t help that he was also a selfish asshole when he was alive.)
