A better option would probably be to just toss a few to everyone who logs in during the week.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony suddenly decided not to release games on PC anymore as a consequence. I’m not in the camp that think Sony is done, but it’s going to have to do something to drive people towards its systems.

Brands should probably just periodically tweet “It’s not NFTs”, unprompted, to be safe.

Streamers getting news coverage at all just shows you how fucking lame the world has gotten.

Fuck, that really is what this is.

I’m sorry that you have to write about this middle school shit.

G/O Media

Sounds like the same kind of fun banter or back-and-forth I’d have with my friends, without anyone being a jerk and everyone in on the joke. Whole lot of nothing being played for minimal chuckles and clicks.

thank you for reminding me of space pants

hopefully Omicron-free show of 2022

“Captains Log: Today the Enterprise rendezvoused with the USS Boaty McBoatface. A fine ship carrying on the long tradition of exploration and scientific ships with that name”

Time to get Shitty McShitfaced.

Because choosing to talk about bullshit but in a snarky, condescending tone drives both detractors and defenders to the comments. They know they wouldn’t be writing about the boat if its name wasn’t a silly internet meme.

I see you’re slowly seeing the current AVClub model for what it is: driving clicks by taking something seriously while questioning why it should be taken seriously at the same time, thus driving interest from detractors, defenders, and people wanting to know why the fuck anyone gives a shit.

Also, Andrew Paul is banned-for-life from ever giving Alanis Morissette any shit about the proper use of ‘ironic.’

I don’t understand why you feel the need to dunk on the name. Are you too mature for the name Boaty McBoatface, Andrew? That’s a shame. It’s not stupid - it’s silly. And there’s nothing wrong with silly. And if it is indeed stupid, it’s at least no more stupid than the names of most boats.

Stewart made it clear in a follow up clip, posted elsewhere in these comments, that he was joking and doesn’t think Rowling is antisemitic. Those quotes were taken out of context by Newsweek and repeated here bythe AV club uncritically. 

It was one of those things where I saw it on the screen and I was expecting the crowd to be like, ‘Holy shit, she did not, in a wizarding world, just throw Jews in there to run the fucking underground bank.’ And everybody was just like, ‘Wizards.’

I feel like the goblins have been a consistent sticking point with the series since the first movie, but has been overshadowed over the last decade by the aforementioned TERFing and the post-facto assigning of race and sexuality to characters before that.

Crypto wasn’t a thing yet so neither was cryptobigotry.
