I wouldn’t call being accused of something you didn’t do comeuppance. Have Tom James be exposed for what he did, not what he didn’t do. His only punishment would be public opprobrium anyway, which isn’t a quantitative punishment like prison time or a fine. It’s qualitative punishment, meaning it matters what the…

I didn’t get the Annette Splett thing. Was it just the rhyme or was there more to the joke?

They needlessly foreshadowed Sue’s cameo by featuring her in the “previously on.” As if anyone watching Veep would have forgotten her.

4 simultaneous coin tosses landing on heads is not 50/50, but 50/50 to the 4th power. Same for 4 consecutive tosses, since the time interval between them is not a factor. And you’re free to misspell your own words, but I’ll take exception when you quote and then misspell mine.

Tomorrow’s weather forecast: Problematic with a chance of hot takes. (Same as today’s and same as next week’s.)

A coin toss landing on heads is 50/50. 4 consecutive coin tosses landing on heads is not 50/50. But if I had any appetite for explaining conditional probability to you, I’d have gone into teaching. If you have enough self-awareness to know what you don’t know and want the information, you can get it easily. Then…

Now, Pops, you said you wouldn’t respond if this reply was as craptacular as the ones before it.

The odds that Peter would be taken in The Snap were 50%. The odds that Peter and Ned would be taken were 25%. The odds that Peter and Ned and Flash would be taken were 12.5%. The odds that Peter and Ned and Flash and MJ would be taken were 6.15%. Not low enough to count as absurd but low enough to count as contrived.

Also, how are ethnic Japanese themselves - the Yamato, if you want to call them that - not an indigenous group?

Then you should’ve kept it at the level of a “simple disagreement” and not get all sarcastic about someone making their case better than you. What did you think was gonna happen after you did the online equivalent of picking up your toys and declaring you don’t wanna play any more? Did you expect me to apologize for…

Disagreeing with someone is not some sort of contest, you dope.

“[T]he Batman character as he has existed in popular culture” - popular culture being “a set of the practices, beliefs and objects that are dominant or ubiquitous in a society at a given point in time” - has mostly been defined by the post-’89 films and the Adam West TV show. Burton’s Batman is integral to that…

It’s a general trope, not a Disney thing. Cats may be portrayed either positively or negatively; dogs, almost always positively.

You’re right, I hate it.

In reality?

Let me start off by saying that I enjoyed Endgame much more than Infinity War. I especially loved that it pulled off the difficult trick of, on the one hand, taking its sweet time getting where it wanted to go, and on the other, sparing this particular viewer the slog that 181 minutes of running time would usually…

Concert for Bangladeath

Farrakhan is not the antithesis of the far right, he’s just someone else’s far right. Basically, Donald Trump is the Louis Farrakhan of White America.

I could never finish A Clockwork Orange. I got to a passage where the protagonist mentions raping a couple of prepubescent girls and just dropped it. I did finish American Psycho, but that required a few years - I took possibly the longest break when I finished a chapter and saw the next one was called “Killing Child…

When the fuck did this site hire Bill O’Reilly to do cultural commentary?
