I don’t know, you might be right. Neither one of us was there, though, so the most likely possibility is we’re both wrong.

I agree with you that pedestrian and cyclists are far down the list of priorities at most American cities, but even here we have better bicycle lanes than this. A protected lane is ideal; failing that, there should at least be clear and visible indications of what’s the bike lane and what’s the sidewalk. Having it…

Passive-aggressive bullshit like this is everywhere. I try to tell myself that it comes from the other person’s insecurity, and to have compassion for it, but sometimes it’s just like, “If that’s the best thing you had to say, then maybe just shut the fuck up. The world does not need to hear every single thought that…

The way I read it was, “You deserved the nomination. Not the win - the nomination.” I assume that was the point of her repeating it - that it was a sort of Hollywood-style faint praise and she wanted to make sure he understood that her compliment only went so far. 

Personally, I live by the motto: Amabo te adiuvare, sed occupatus sum illo die (I’d love to help you, but I’m busy that day).

I’m guessing the official seal for the Capitol Police includes a Latin phrase that, translated, reads: “Too Little, Too Late.”

Dave Callaham, whose recent credits include Mortal Kombat and Wonder Woman 1984, has already done a pass on a script for the remake, although Disney is apparently currently looking for writers to offer up a different take on the material.

In so many cases, what the child welfare system actually does is exactly the opposite of what reason, empathy, or simple common sense would suggest that it do. 

I really hope that one of the core cast dies this season, because as long as the fatalities list is exclusively populated by secondary characters introduced so that they can later die (and sometimes be forgotten by the characters who live on), the stakes are just really low. These kids have been messing with evil and…

That movie had a wildly implausible third act, but she wasn’t writing her own dialogue - blame the director for the plot holes. Maybe you can say that she should have turned the project down on the basis of the script, but given how many scripts are rewritten during the act of shooting, even that would be iffy.

he’s been making inroads to the Marvel Cinematic Universe of late (courtesy of Eternals)

Why? Because Game of Thrones was the last big success to come out of HBO and they don’t have any better ideas.

Nolan worked with Abrams on Person of Interest.

This is show is what you get when the acting is excellent, the production values are impeccable, and the show runners have been trying to yada yada yada their way through it all. It’s no surprise that Jonathan Nolan has partnered with JJ Abrams, because I’m seeing a bit of Abrams’ signature combination of lush visuals…

“There couldn’t have been systematic harassment because there was no system supporting or enabling the harassment! The Harass-O-Matic was intended to be that system, and it was under development for several years, but the project never made it out of beta.”

“In today’s breaking news, a prominent Republican is a huge hypocrite! In other news, the sun rose in the east this morning, and water remains wet.”

Ted Cruz also watches porn on Twitter (no judgment there, get your jollies where you can) but is stupid enough to click “like” on the videos (all sorts of judgment on this one, what an idiot).

I would not be surprised if, in the next season:

If this doesn’t somehow figure into the next season of “Rick and Morty,” I’ll shoot myself in the head with a penis-shooting penis.

I don’t doubt this is well-intentioned, but does anyone seriously believe that this is going to make a difference? That very special episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” on the importance of common-sense gun legislation isn’t going to flip a single vote in Congress.
