“There is a certain circular beauty to the concept of Urgent Care, the latest addition to the Earwolf lineup. Hosted by comedians Mitra Jouhari and Joel Kim Booster, the program functions as an advice show for people who should, quite frankly, know better than to seek the input of hosts who clearly aren’t equipped or…

So we just ignore the fact that this song is not about date rape and in fact both parties in the song are exploring consent, they just don't want the neighbors to think anything is up because norms were different then? I hate this song, but it's ridiculous to say it's an ode to date rape. Christmas makes people crazy…

I get that some folks are so uptight about the merest suggestion of seduction involving any degree of persuasion beyond “two people spontaneously having exactly the same degree of hots and enthusiastic consent for each other at the same time” that they simply cannot candle “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” I don’t…

It’s already here. The good news is that it can’t fool basic computer analysis, so for now, truth is is still truth and reality is still reality. The bad news is that people are going to use it to make soooooo much porn. It will become so prevalent that people will demand that internet anonymity go away so that people…

I honestly think you’re on the right track. It’s a fine line between “I’m so racist I think even the Dutch are suspect” and “I’m flat out paranoid about everyone, and everything”. The latter is a pretty legitimate horror trope.

“Dear God, what are these monstrous protuberances growing from my hands?”

Cyclopean is an archaeologic term of art: Wikipedia: Cyclopean masonry.  And yeah, the original implication was big rocks fitted together without mortar, so only Cyclopses could have built it. But your point still stands, squamous and rugose though it may be. I shudder at the thought of even pitching the concept. …

She was not his adopted daughter. Not legally as he never adopted her nor married Mia Farrow (nor even lived with her). Soon Yi Previn has always claimed that Andre Previn is her father, Woody Allen is not, and he never did anything non-consensual towards her.  So, as per usual with this website, believe all women…

I’m with you on “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” but that’s thing: Not a lot of smoke here, as far as being a child molester. You find the Soon-Yi thing creepy? Fine, but there’s a difference, and that’s not the reason people are running for the hills.

She was never “basically his daughter,” as they never lived together and spent very little time together before she was an adult. I don’t believe Dylan is lying, as false memories are much, much more common than repressed ones, but it’s reasonable to doubt that a world-wide celebrity would, after spending years in the…

Even if her own non-brainwashed brother has exposed what a vindictive horror show Farrow was as a mother? What Dylan believes happened would be a tragedy, but there’s nowhere outside the diseased minds of Mia and Ronan Farrow that it happened.

‘faced accusations for decades that he molested his daughter Dylan Farrow when she was a child, with the accusations’

“also, when you… make Type 02 grenades, Sam sits behind a privacy screen emblazoned with an ad for his AMC show Ride With Norman Reedus.”

is just another dumb way of trying to shut down debate by casting your opponent as old and out of touch without offering any substantive rebuttal.

“It’s not my job to show you that you’re an idiot, it’s your job to not be. We don’t have time to explain to you why you are every single time you act like it, because…

Also seafood and his own genetic makeup.
He had a lot of anxieties, that guy.

LOL, 5ft women are generally the worst for wanting 6ft plus men, what is Dan talking about.

Not that this article does this, but the initial coverage of the whole country’s brain breaking over Epstein’s very obvious murder referring to it as a “conspiracy theory” is one of the things that convinced me. Like, I know it’s a conspiracy theory by definition, but the lack of incredulity from mainstream sources…

Alright, well, I was talking about enjoyment, but I’m glad you found it especially grounded.

I appreciate what it was trying to do, and I suppose what it did, but I found the mirror splitting and repetitive sounds to be *incredibly* grating here. Similarly, the wordplay, while demonstrative of deteriorating mental state over the arc of the episode, just seemed a little too much on a moment to moment basis.…

Wow, I felt Princess Carolyn’s stress the whole episode. I think I’ll need to be very, very relaxed to watch this particular episode again.
