Not understanding a) the nature of a feature or b) that not all writing on a pop culture site is journalism is neither constructive nor criticism nor particularly effective commentary.

I think you’re going to be disappointed by the Newswire and Great Job Internet columns as well. 

“Invisible Man” - Ralph Ellison seminal work on being a black man in the United States.

The original trilogy has a number of things that indicate Leia’s latent force ability (and probably more natural talent than Luke). Episode 4 resistance to interrogation, and in Return of the Jedi her knowledge that Luke has survived the Death Star blowing up again and that his claim he is her brother is true, plus…

Not developing Force abilities and not doing Jedi training is also not the same as not having latent Jedi abilities as per the world illustrated by the film. The one thing episode 1 confirms, in conversation with Anakin, is that some skills like being able to slightly see things before they happen can be an ability…

Seriously! The delusional height thing is annoying.

I’ve 5'6.5 - if I’m on a yoga kick, 5'7", but more like 5'8/9" in shoes. I have happily dated guys who were 5'5", 5'6", 5'7", etc (though once was on a mid height run that resulted in some humorous confusion when I slept with a 6'3" guy because I forgotten how, um,…

The real problem is that all the men who are really 5'7" saying they are 5'9" leads women in online dating to 1) assume that most men under 6'1" are rounding up on height and 2) conclude that most men really don’t know what 9 inches is (or 7 for that matter). 

It’s Christmas Day - there is literally the bare minimum of cops working to avoid paying overtime.

But “Keeping the Faith” sadly still has topical humor ....

No commentary on the call out to everyone expecting a cameo showcase for the 100th episode?

In the words of Monty Python at Castle Anthrax:

Broadway shows are a standard ad set. Tonight had ads for Wicked, Hadestown, Moulin Rouge, Jagged Little Pill, Dear Evan Hanson and yes, Hamilton. Most of them are the first or last commercial in the break.

But....how does episode 42 NOT at least mention the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

Nancy was depicted as a blond originally, but because strawberry blond in the cover/pictures of the run that began in 1959 (the year before Kennedy’s inauguration), which is also the subsequent run that began describing her as titian-haired, the prevailing physical description from the 70's on.

Bess has been the…

Hopefully the pairing with Kate means we might get him to sing!

Polyamory is not a sexual orientation in that way (or at least as Dan normally talks about issues of rights and representation).... also, it is the coercive “you have to let me do this and can’t break up with me” framing that would be the issue.

Yeah, yeah, it’s all fun and games and a sense of community until they need to change platforms on you and make you merge accounts. That absolutely always ends well....

I thought we no longer spoke of 3?

All disputes are actually from another dimension.

And this is why I have to default to liking Eli better ... plus the whole beating Brady in the Super Bowl thing. 

I just heard a radio commercial for EVIL (which is also plastered on the front of every NYC bus I think), and it was hilariously bad.  I need to tune in to potentially hate watch .... or discover a season 1 Sleepy Hollow style gem.
