I have a vague memory of attending a talk by Dick Gregory and the only part of the vague memory that coalesces into anything near solid was that he was the first person I ever heard say that you should drink eight 8 oz. glasses of water a day. Part of some food/diet thing he was involved in?

I would bet most people in Helena didn't even know we had a Confederate Monument. The only downside I can see is that on hot days its a small pool of water midway between two other city fountains I can let my dog sit in during walks in town. Funny thing is, he never seemed to enthusiastic about that fountain - I guess…

Local city council and mayor here in Helena, Montana, voted to remove the only confederate monument in the northwest US. It's a water fountain dedicated to the memory of Confederate Soldiers in 1916 by the Daughters of the Confederacy. It's been talked about since 2015, but the decision to remove it blew up this week…

Oh lordy, he'd commission one of those Little Free Library boxes in gold and post it outside Trump Tower and the only book in it would be the Shart of the Deal.

And where do you get your standing that you think you can define the mission of this website? I don't see WoodSword on the About Us page linked at the footer here. This website doesn't even officially define itself as a 'pop culture' website. it actually uses the descriptor 'entertainment' and let me tell you, I find…

And since this was posted yesterday, I'm gonna act like it's okay to come on here now and say that I wouldn't have given the Man Show, beardless Kimmel the time of day, but this adult-ish, bearded guy making sincere pleas for maturity and level-headedness is kinda attractive. Woof.

And because he's doing such a crappy job at telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, there's even wiggle room to wonder just what he means by "…this egregious display of bigotry, hated, and violence.." Is he talking about the actual man who drove an actual car into an actual crowd of people or is…

You've connected this event with a pop culture trope! That should inoculate this comment thread from anyone asking how this article made it onto a pop culture website! Thanks for your work.

Would only vote for the version of this guy with a beard.

Celebrities, are by their nature, vacuous and insufficiently invested in the long term. Celebrities make for bad politicians. I would argue, though, that artists and performers serious about their chosen genre and not necessarily bent towards the 'celebrity' existence may provide useful insight and dedication to…

Who ARE you?

Oswegonian, here.

Eleven questions with Dan Savage resulted in a comment section discussion on the merits and calamities associated with Islam and religion in general. An informative, yet somewhat facetious article on John Oliver produces a discussion on the merits of single -payer healthcare in the Associated States of America. This…

And Wonderbra!

Hey, I have a good friend who was able to quit smoking because of Dum-Dums - I wont allow you to besmirch the not-so-good name of those handy, little stick-based confections.

I am closer to nothing in my life more than my 6th Generation Nano. Okay, I like my dog, too, but the music doesn't sound as good coming from him and he's not very good at remembering my playlists. Thanks for the Nano, Apple (but eff you on those stupid design flaws that you never owned up to).

Sounds like yer talkin' 'bout The Tick!

Oh, Sweetie, Darling, settle. Settle! Calm yourself! I may be wrong, and I don't think I am, but the gimmick of these comment reposters is to grab a comment from their chosen site that is appropriate (in some way) to the topic on this site. The person behind the reposting may not actually be the right-wing tartlet you…

Hemsworth, with all his charisma, charm and mighty fine looks, still doesn't cast an obliterating shadow over Hiddleston. This movie seems to have lots of room for the major characters. Well, the trailers do, anyway. Looking forward to this.

Yeah, just to be clear, I am not seriously saying Hunnam acted well in Pacific Rim. I will say I thought his 'portrayal' actually fit with the feeling of the movie overall as GDT's honest homage to the, uh, 'kaiju genre'(?). It was a cast of sometime entertaining stock characters there to support the giant monsters…
