I remember buying the original “Some Girls” album at Licorice Pizza in San Diego. And then returning it for the new “updated” cover that removed all the copywrited images the Stones used without permission.

I’m a bit busy today, how are you for a flaming on Thursday, around 10a?

Great list! Well done. I’d probably swap 196 and 197 around.

“Who asked for this?”

It stands for “we fired all our editors”

What's up with 2021 and it deciding to form a Sparks Cinematic Universe?

I hope the movie has the time to explain why strange women lying in ponds and distributing sword is not the basis for a system of government.

I find it hilarious that Americans are mocking Brits - or anyone else - for not doing leftism correctly. Next they’ll be paying out Europeans for their poor health care or violence in schools.

until we ultimately got to meet the owner of the yellow umbrella, Tracy (Cristin Milioti)—only for her to be killed off and for Ted to reunite with Robin.

TFA is something I loved when I walked out of the theater, then grew to hate.

“Why not a floating forum or a floating agora?
A floating îlot or boulevard? A floating medina? A floating kampung?
A floating conservatory? A floating hermitage or monastery or marabout or university or madrasa or wat or cathedral or stupa or palace?”

Surely the ur-text here is the piano cover of Mad World in Donnie Darko?

I had the same thing happen. But it took a little longer with Ultron, Civil War and Infinity War being the point where I really just gave up on the universe and stopped caring about most of the characters. The last one I saw in theaters was Captain Marvel and all I wanted from that was a Captain Marvel sequel, not to…

As far as I’m concerned, the wise old Asian mystic is less a “stereotype” than it is a “trope”. It’s something you see all over Asian film, arts, and literature. Hell, I don’t remember it really being used in Hollywood before the Kung Fu TV series which Bruce Lee developed. After Kung Fu, sure, it would pop up but it…

I honestly don’t get the point of this game, but I’ve also been so far removed from gaming in general since...probably 2000. At the same time, rogue-like games were a staple of my formative years (hence the avatar and user name, duh), and the best was a very, very rogue-like version of D&D. I could dial into my dad’s…

I think that, while it’s undoubtable that all the roguelikes and roguelites before it added to the genre (hell, the conceit of Repentance is going up through the levels you previously went down through, which is pulled straight from Nethack itself), The Binding of Isaac brought a hugely important part of the genre as…

The phrase has been so abused by conservative politicians and news media that there’s basically no ability to have a productive conversation which uses that phrase. Things like internet/Twitter mobs, pile-ons, etc. are real, and they’re a problem. We also need to have a conversation about how we treat things that…

The desire to hold people accountable is good.

L. Ron Musk is the god-emperor of the neckbeards, and for a good reason. He’s everything that self-declared weird smart kid wishes to be.
