In brighter news, Donald Rumsfeld died.

Next up: how Pepper Pott’s so-called strawberry allergy proves she’s racist because she refuses to eat anything that was sold by a Mexican. 

As soon as he made the offhand comment, I was sure AVClub would be assigning someone to write 500 words about it.

I totally get it, and sorry for your loss. I lost my father to COVID early in the pandemic (April of last year), and I still feel awful whenever someone I liked or respected shows that they’re not taking this stuff seriously (or worse, that they go down these conspiracy BS rabbit holes). 

Completely fair feelings, mate. 

“What’s the difference between a baby and a bag of cocaine? Eric Clapton would never let a bag of cocaine fall out a window.”

So the guy who spent however many years injecting drugs is now very worried about his injections?

That photo reminds me of a Neil Hamburger joke:

For the time he played, he was. It lasted about five minutes because that Hendrix guy was on the way, but in context of lead guitar playing the guy for his time was just ahead of the curve.

This sucks. And hurts. My father loved Clapton. Worshiped at his alter of guitar playing to the point of handcrafting his own amp to duplicate the amp Clapton used on the legendary John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers album. Owned multiple Strats, of course. Could play pretty much any Clapton solo note for note.

Conspiracy theories make dumb people feel smart and let people shop for what they want to hear instead of the truth. It’s a pervasive problem that is getting worse; Clapton is just one of the higher profile dummies.

Its so weird when I hear that some guys dont eat out. Like...thats my best fucking move when im with a girl.

There’s also the joke from the first Guardians movie that implied Star Lord had jizzed everywhere in his ship.

Plus his hookup in the beginning of the movie that A) he forgot was still on the ship and B) forgot her name.

Wonder Woman: “Don’t you ever wish you were down there?”

Can you think of literally any other time? Certainly not since the Disney merger. 

It’s truly shocking what Pepper Pots was willing to put up with.

That was before Disney bought Marvel studios, or at least while Paramount was still obligated to distribute.

It won’t be Marvel, because people in the MCU barely hold hands
