I think some of the problem here is an over-insistence on film (or television, in this case) as a simulation, as a portrayal of something as if it were actually happening, instead of embracing the fact that film is artifice.

When Shakespeare is adapted to film or television, it’s pretty common to cast actors of color…

I was contemplating going through all the shows in the U.S. and the U.K. and breaking them down by the lead’s gender and demonstrating to you why having two leading females battle for attention is vastly different than having male leads compete but eh, this is Kinja. And that’s way too much effort just for you.

As someone who grew up in the dawn of the internet, when dead-baby jokes were a thing in middle school, I’m going to go out on limb here and say the tweets - while certainly disgusting - shouldn’t have been job-terminating.

You've got to know where your towel is. 

Dude, seriously? Thank goodness Twitch showed some fucking decency and took it down, even though your click-bait link is still live.

I agree that magic tends to overwhelm games, but I’m always more appreciative of it when it has consequences. I liked Dragon Age: Origin’s approach to magic: it was feared by many, it actually was extremely dangerous to use, you had to be born to use it, and mages, while powerful, still couldn’t do too much on their…

If anything, Dragon Age Origins even more than The Witcher shows that magic is dangerous. Playing as a mage just solidifies that opinion as the most powerful spells cast by you can just as easily wipe your party out. And do not even get me started on the whole Fade and blood magic thing. Gritty

I’ve mentioned this before, but their handling of the situation is clearly a big red “fuck employees” sign for any potential new hires now. 

No. I pity the foal — Mr. Ed

If your fight is with the libraries there is a good chance you’re sitting on the wrong side of history.

I think a better analogy is to say that the fire department purchased infinite length fire hoses. They pulled them out to 500 yards very quickly, and the hoses worked fine. But when they needed to pull them out further, they found that the hoses unrolled slower. They called the hose company who told them that sorry the…

It’s called reporting and it takes a little time. They couldn’t just print whatever you sent to them and hope it was accurate.

This is something Mr. Burns would do.

That’s a shame. I was really looking forward to the next Avengers and seeing where things went post-Infinity War.

I do believe I’ve had enough time to let my thoughts on this simmer and come together as something coherent and thoughtful now:

Maybe you dreamed it.

Airing only two episodes of a show and managing to air those out of order is a truly impressive accomplishment in the field of network meddling.

You realize that the Paradox of Tolerance is actually incorrect, right?

The person who tweeted this awesome footage just got fired by Disney.
