I think we’ve hit upon a winning strategy for winning over the independents/libertarians in 2018 here. Forget voting or donating—we need to start lining up women to call the local news stations and talk about the time their resident liberal legislative candidate groped and/or kissed them without permission! It’s…

I have yet to see a tornado do damage in the billions (with a “B” Billions).

Shame on Disney for thinking that tagline was an appropriate strategy for promoting Freeman’s performance!

Catholicism/abortion

So feigning excitement about Hollywood’s half-hearted shrugs in the direction of female empowerment is a prerequisite for being a card-carrying feminist these days? The comments are absurd dreck being published by absolutely garbage people, but somehow I find the insinuation I have to be “in” to every remake of a…

Starred for the GNR-style stutter

It consists entirely of the AV Stylebook, of which the Star Wars-specific style guide makes up approximately 50%. The rest consists entirely of advice regarding the proper formatting of language related to Game of Thrones, Rick and Morty-based McDonalds promotions, and all things Mike Judge.

What a time to be alive.

Way to go, Brickstarter. That’ll win people over to the cause for sure!

Exactly. “Pedophile, sexual harasser, frequently ignore[s] the law, sexist, racist” is like the Thanksgiving family seating chart. Lose the “pedophile,” and it doubles as a checklist of the necessary qualifications to run for local office.

Thanks for this—looking forward to sending that video to every redneck relative who mentions Obama and “war on Christmas” in the sentence this holiday season.

I assumed that someone was going to save the dog from being put down from the get-go since its euthanizing it would distract some viewers from the more humorous treatment of the elderly tenant’s death and its fallout. (Don’t get me wrong—Shameless loves to mix drama and comedy, but it’s usually fairly consistent in…

I kept thinking, “If you only have 39 hours and can’t buy it yourself in Missouri, why are you wasting time trying to get a stranger to buy it as opposed to G’ingTFO?”

If random acts of violence are the only thing that makes your music experience fun and exciting, you’re listening to the wrong artists. I’d be happy to make some recommendations.

That was my impression when I was watching the video on my phone, but when viewed at full size it looks pretty targeted—especially when compared to the shuffle-type kicks he’s doing shortly before. You can also see the photographer’s head snap back and her camera go flying.

Hmm. Definitely don’t remember it being *that* explicit and I recently re-watched the whole series, too.

Distancing language for sure, but not even close to the passive voice, which involves some form of the verb “to be” plus the past participle and situates the direct object (the thing being thought about, in this case) as the subject. The passive voice would be “It was thought about.”

I’m trying to remember—is this old news? How much of this argument is text rather than subtext at this point?
