Stealing JPEGs of monkeys from celebrities and holding them ransom is a brilliant way to make money I now realize.

I thought Hawkeye did a decent job of diving deeper into that character.

why are the parents filing a protective order on behalf of an 18 year old?  isn’t that the age of majority?  Why didn’t they do it a few years ago?

The part of the “cultural conversation” argument that bothers me is it feeds into the problem of every episode having to leave you with some big question or cliffhanger or easter egg for people to Google. I love that the binge model lets episodes actually just be self-contained and rewatchable, not having to chase…

I’m trying to figure out the whole copyright angle. It was a non-fiction article about a US Navy training unit. I can see where filmmakers would’ve needed to license Tom Wolfe’s book “The Right Stuff” for their 1983 movie. It was about real people and events, but borrowed its narrative structure from Wolfe’s book.…

Every dad ever:

You know how there’s like, good music, and bad music? She makes the good stuff.

She’s written consistently haunting and beautiful music for nearly fifty years. Stunning voice, talented musician, composer, and dancer.

I don’t know. It’s weird now. He always had pervy comedy, but he presented himself as a helpless, hapless underdog while he was doing it. Now we know he was a very powerful and well-respected comedian whose disapproval could ruin careers, so that pierces that veil and his creepy jokes just become ... creepy.

You’re asking the wrong question.

He's done nothing to indicate that his attitude, views, or behavior have changed. An apology without genuine repentance isn't worth the paper it's printed on. 

It’s funny to describe a major blockbuster like Tron: Legacy as the weird art kid of the Disney family, but compared to golden children Marvel and Star Wars, it’s not far off.

I didn’t watch this, but it seems like video posts are getting more frequent. Did Facebook “pivot to video” again?

Yeah, even if this were a more straightforward good-versus-bad situation, auditing people’s Twitter likes feels really weird to me

Imagine your job or your hobby is compiling a list of people that liked a tweet. And no, this case does not set a precedent and does nothing for further cases like it. It’s actually a reminder that people will watch paint dry and flies fuck if said paint/flies are celebrities.

Salespeople add zero value to the experience. I know more about the cars I’m interested n then they do. They don’t even know the simple things like what they actually have in inventory. Everything they do they look up on the computer, and they are the one thing between me and a good price on a car. If I can actually…

I guarantee you he cares what other people think of him.  Dude is so thin skinned he’s almost transparent.

He can’t. Because, much like Trump, his entire image is predicated around the idea that he’s this Big Brained Alpha who runs circles around the establishment. The problem is, that just like Trump, he’s a fucking man child who reveals that he isn’t what he claims he is the more he opens his mouth.

And the more he opens…

“these two people being out of each other’s lives has got to be a private, and, for some damn reason, a public, good.”

This seems like an odd take Candace...
