I didn’t even know there was a Valley Girl remake, but now having watched the trailer I can honestly say- if you’re going to put Logan Paul in your movie, then having him get punched in the trailer is a shrewd choice.

I think the flaw in this kind of thinking is that it’s no longer back in the day, and queer kids don’t really have to settle for crumbs anymore. And I think Ryan Murphy’s shtick of offering a narrow, cloyingly saccharine version of gay culture that’s all about positivity and acceptance by the culture at large, is…

There is. My mom worked at Barnes and Noble like a decade ago and some guy came in asking if they had anything like Austin or her contemporaries, and she pointed him to the neo-Romantics. He brought back his Pride and Prejudice sequel with a huff because it was ‘just pornography.’

It could always end the Jenny’s Wedding way, where the dad is a total asshole, Jenny gets rightfully mad at him, his friend talks him into at least showing up for his daughter’s wedding, and then she gives him the most grovelling apology for getting mad at him being shitty to her and her fiance.

30-40% of the population in the deep South; it would not take a lot of white or other POC with the same interest to tip that into a popular majority.

The entire South includes most of the black people in the country, and their tastes are also being represented.

In porn ebony is the...positive? term for black people, and black women in particular. The linguistics of pornography are strange and often gross.

Yeah, because intense shame about sexual desires is something totally unique to feminism. No one has ever gotten irrationally anxious about sex out of fear of sin, or similar self-flagellation.

The most environmentally friendly way is probably just simple burial. Don’t get embalmed, and don’t take anything inorganic with you. Also the shallower the grave the more efficiently bacteria, insects, and other things can start working on your decomposition.

Murder all men. Murder all women. Agender meat-units only.

Wow, men are more likely to die at work? If only there was some kind of activistism or organization that was just about protecting people at their workplaces, like some kind of labor movement...

Men kill themselves because they’re more likely to use more fatal means like guns. Woman contemplate suicide more often and are 2-3 times more likely to attempt suicide.

Foreign language, but you can get around that in a written exam by just making the translations long and grading by a combination of accuracy and completeness. Honestly that’s how you could handle open-book for a lot of thing. Just incentivize memorization and thorough knowledge of the resources at hand.

She’s a rich white lady who doesn’t want to let go of the idea of herself as progressive, but isn’t at all down with the hard left turn progressive activism is taking. So she’s latched onto one of the few wholly conservative positions to come out of a social justice movement, so she can tell herself that’s she…

You remember like 10-15 years ago when US feminism was getting dragged by black women for only giving a damn about white women? It set off a massive leftward shift in American feminism to be more inclusive and intersectional, and a lot of groups including trans people benefited. TERFs and SWERFs got almost completely…

The marketing in the US did, or at least focused a lot on Damien in a way that read like the usual white guy inexplicably at the center of an otherwise non-white story. I was a big misstep because if they’d actually marketed it as a collaboration between Hollywood and the Chinese film industry, that probably would…

Swap Mushu and Cricket for songs and this list is accurate.

He’ll be redeemed but at a lower level of grifting than he had before. He doesn’t have the charisma of an Oral Roberts, Jimmy Bakker, or even his dad to push through this scandal and come back out on top.

Be ready to feel super validated- Action Park was primarily a water park. And while even their were injuries associated with the other sections, the rides that outright killed people were all water park rides. There’s a Youtube channel called Defunctland that does short histories on amusement park stuff, and they do…

Some women have big dicks, but I have a feeling the executive bros of the world wouldn’t be impressed by them for some strange reason...
