The biggest problem with Jimmy Fallon constantly breaking was that the sketches weren’t actually funny. Tough to enjoy a sketch when the performers are the only ones laughing.

Yeah. I get that Taylor and Beyonce both have very sensitive, easily pissed off fanbases, but those comments are pretty anodyne. Probably not even the bitchiest things Courtney Love has said too or about someone this week.

Kind of. I would say the implication early on was that the topic being covered was something that most people were wrong about.

Of course. But not knowing certain facts about a subject while generally having the correct overall view of it isn’t generally considered being “wrong” about it.

Initially, the conceit of the pod was to go back into recent history and explain why the popular conception of an event is wrong by digging up the actual details that don’t get talked about. By the time they got to the OJ episode, that conceit had mostly become a thing of the past and the events they covered didn’t…

So because he did something racist as a teenager, something that he served time for and has sought restitution for, he can never be seen publicly with any Asian person as an adult? That’s incredibly dumb.

Yes. He’s talked about it publicly numerous times and sought out one of the victims to apologize in person in 2016. That victim said he forgives Wahlberg.

Make amends?

I’m the opposite. I strongly prefer the original series to the reboot movies. There’s not enough space for things to sink in and you lose some of the fun, silly stuff that makes the original series more than just action and metaphysical nonsense.

What? How is not bringing up something that Wahlberg did 30+ years ago constantly an example of an “amnesiac, post-Trump pop culture”? It was incredibly shitty behavior and if you want to continue to personally be mad at him, that’s cool. But he’s apologized for it repeatedly and attempted to make amends and it has…

Whether people should feel insecure about having a small penis isn’t the issue. The issue is that men pressure themselves and each other to live up to some ideal of manliness that doesn’t exist and wouldn’t be healthy if it did and driving giant, modded out trucks is symptom of that toxic mindset.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is probably the brightest of those as there is even a minor plot beat within the game which indicates the homosexuality is an issue in that world, but then the actual romances don’t reflect it all.

Also the fact that every video game romance seems to lead to “we’re madly in love” pretty much immediately without any room for just hooking up. I still remember romancing Jack in Mass Effect 2. I thought she would be cool with it just being a sex thing, but even the badass punk rock girl gets all depressed if you…

Yipes.

I don’t know that Ayo Edebiri is big enough to have a whole department, but yeah, wouldn’t surprise me if there were talks between representatives rather than or before a director conversation.

Regardless of whether the story is embellished or not, it’s a good move for J.Lo to let Ayo off the hook. We all know fans can be really vicious about stuff like this and I’m sure Lopez has plenty.

Starfield has that, essentially. I, being directionally challenged, use it a lot.

There were a good half dozen Temu ads.

I mean, I personally would use a question mark, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to pedant someone else’s pedantry.

Oh I know. I just thought it was fun to correct someone else’s correction. No offense intended.
