Urban Decay’s Perversion is my current favorite.

I really wish there was a way for courts to not just strike down these laws, but figuratively spray the responsible lawmakers with a squirt bottle and say, “No! Bad!”

Is “I’m not racist, I just dress western” the new “I can’t be racist because I have a black friend”?

There were several movies that I’d been planning to see, but when it got closer to the release date they ended up having terrible reviews so I just didn’t bother. Like, say, Valerian, or The Dark Tower, or The Mummy, or King Arthur...

Theoretically a remake, but...it’s kind of awful. I bought it during a Steam sale because I remembered loving it years ago, and the graphics are so terrible it’s pretty much unplayable, because I can’t really see what’s going on.

Sounds familiar...

We read Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH in my third grade class and my mother thought it would be a great idea to rent the movie after. I was both disappointed in the differences and utterly terrified by them. That freaking owl especially haunted my nightmares.

Honestly, I thought the ferris wheel scene at the end was where the movie just went full ridiculous and I lost what interest had built up to that point. It was just...too much. Way too much, with the overdramatics and the song and Nat Wolff being the most boring piece of Wonder Bread ever.

Was coming here to say this. There’s just too much misogynistic baggage tied in with “James Bond” for me to ever want to see it rebooted as “Jane Bond” or whatever. I’d rather they just let the franchise die and give us a badass female action hero instead.

So, uh...who was asking for this to be made, exactly...?

....I could hardly tell that picture was Kristen Stewart at first. That haircut makes her look kind of like a hedgehog.

Hey, I have a better idea. How about, instead of covering the statues in black fabric, you actually take them down?

I could really use some good news right now, so I’m just going to take this as a yay. If (when) it turns out that it was just appeasement, I’ll be disappointed then, but present-me can enjoy a good gloat.

That philosophy would have worked better when we didn’t have a reality-tv “celebrity” sitting in the White House.

When I worked for 911 our call recording system was still recording while the caller was on hold, so we could go in and play back and hear everything the caller said while they were waiting. There were some interesting conversations in there.

(Note: actual 911 calls were rarely placed on hold, of course, but every

Charlottesville, Kjellberg implied, made him realize that white supremacy is not just an edgy internet joke, but an actual thing that people have to deal with.

History has shown us that regions of disenfranchised, intelligent and motivated young men are very very good at resisting tyranny.

Nope. Real.
