I thought Captain Marvel was also fairly middle-of-the-road as far as Marvel movies go (some pretty dogshit sets / action at the top, but started clicking much more once Larson and Jackson got to interact, and then Mendelsohn was just a wonderful little surprise). But then I asked A-Town what she thought of it and she…

I would have never believed it a couple years ago, but here it is in black and white. Baseball’s just gotten too far from what made it great and fun to watch, but no, these million dollar athletes have to do what they do, and then you see something that no one wants to see in an article: “in the ninth inning of a…

There's always levels to this, but Rhame should absolutely have been thrown out for throwing two pitches up by Hoskins' head. If you want to plunk a guy on the thigh or butt that's dumb but at least not potentially breaking a bone in the face or giving a guy a concussion. Honestly a lot of credit to Hoskins for not…

Hot take here: She’s allowed to continue to write these pieces, where we all know she’s wrong, because all of you click and comment to voice your dissent.

More of a comment of something I think people are missing in looking at the episode, especially Dany’s reaction to Jon’s news: Her conversation with Sansa is supposed to inform how we hear her reaction to Jon. She talks about how she is the one doing things for Jon, fighting his battle instead of fighting Cercei. Then…

I always get accused of being a monster who grades way too harshly, so I’d like to thank you for this charge of inflation, Hal. 

Fun fact, Grey Worm is two days from retirement.

I’m gonna play some more Earth Defence Force 4.1. I’m used to playing the Japanese version of these games and honestly the English versions just change the menus and not much else. It helps that I can actually read the menus now though... Anyway, EDF 4.1 is a huge leap over the original EDF 4. The framerate is mostly…

Greetings, Fellowship of the WAYPTW thread, a truncated gaming week thanks to a combination of NHL playoffs, Passover, and project shit hitting the fan at work meant I only really got one game in

Here is the problem. It’s not the business. The family named their foundation after the business. They are two separate entities.

I was hoping it would have been “Dormammu, I’ve come to bargain...” since it’s a rare finale that shows the hero using his wits and ingenuity to defeat an opponent, rather than their power/strength/skill.

Vviolent game dont have the same reputation as sexualizing girls that look like 15 years old?

No one died or was injured in the Louisiana churches that burned down, I would still consider those fires a tragedy.

I appreciate pointing out the hypocrisy at play here, but this is a flavor of hot take I’m really fucking tired of. Can a tragedy just be a tragedy? Do we always have to justify our emotional responses to stuff like this by comparing it to other tragedies or excuse it by giving some explicit personal or familial…

Mets Matz Missed Mitts

I knew a guy once. He lost his Lord of the Family status in a best-of-three NBA Jam TE series.

Now his son writes him in as a dependent on his taxes. Boomshakalaka.

So sorry to hear about your sister Mike. Like you haven’t had enough already. Sometimes it’s best to indulge in a bit of fantasy to take a time out from the real world.

The Last Man on Earth was the king of these.

About 15 years ago, my mother-in-law suffered a big stroke. They gave her the Catholic last rites twice. They had to remove a piece of her skull because her brain was swelling. That piece was out, in a refrigerator, for 2 months. To make a long story short, about 9 months after her stroke, she recovered up to around 95…

I appreciate this take, but scripture is paradoxical in that its universality is found in its specificity. Christ also praised Mary Magdalene for her gesture of using expensive oil to anoint his feet. That is, it’s not a waste of money or an example of hoarding treasure to honor the eternal.
