I do agree that no comment is great. I also firmly think when you are going through something like this - get yourself locked out of social media ASAP even if you’re not famous. You will post something that causes you more pain long-term.

His name is actually Marcus, but he's often called Needles. And sometimes Needles and Marcus drive two different cars in the same tournament, because who gives a shit?

Thank you! I hastily tried to Google the number but I realized I was probably wasting my time.

The minimum wage is so high because the actors working for SAG minimum don’t work very many days a year. One of the biggest talking points is that actors have to make a certain amount a year to be eligible for health insurance. That amount is $26,470 a year, and many (no-name, working) actors are reportedly having a…

I wasn’t trying to tell what you already know. You seemed to be arguing that the key problem is the studios having non-movie people in senior positions. I don’t disagree that it’s a problem. It might even be worse than ever. But I think the main driver here is the destruction of worker rights and the threat of…

I think this is a misunderstanding of how the Trek thing works. It’s not that even films are all good and odd all suck. It’s that any given odd film will be lesser than the even films adjacent to it and vice versa. So... 3 is good but less than 2 or 4. 10 is weak but better than 9. Etc.

To this day, I can't believe they put that gag in the trailers. 

Unfortunately, your comment runs out of gas way before its end.

It’s not ridiculous in this specific example, because a lot of gamers were acting like Embracer were good guys, so were, however dimwittedly, buying into the cheap kayfabe that Embracer were “helping gaming” and a Face. And thus for them - a fairly numerous group - this is absolutely a Heel turn.

I’m with you, it was definitely cringey at the time. I always thought part of the point of the movie was that the relationship was all kinds of unhealthy for both of them?

“There is no feud - we have no relationship” is the most perfect things I’ve read this week. 

I had the priviledge of working for Debbie Reynolds at her Las Vegas hotel.

“Adam Warlock, Marvel’s best comic book character.”

The Mario movie is a nonstop conga line of references to video games that came out decades ago. It brings back the “Mario is from Brooklyn” origin which hasn’t been canon since 1995 but which is popular among anyone who grew up watching the 1989 Mario cartoon series. At one point they do the DK Rap for no reason.

Had a student recently who had just discovered AD and wanted to write an essay about some aspect of the series, but wasn’t sure what direction to take and asked for suggestions. I offered up, “How is Michael as bad or even worse a person than the other Bluths?” The student looked puzzled for a second, then a wave of…

I guess tacobell failed in Mexico because of anticompetitive monopolistic behavior from the small taco restaurants and street vendors there.

But accountability isn’t something measured in weeks, months, or even years. Decades, maybe. This topic is one of the most pressing issues America and the rest of the First World needs to address, and it should have happened yesterday.

My 13 yr old son and I both made the Ghostbusters’ stair joke when they mentioned the tunnel.

Years ago, I read an article about Columbine that suggested that maybe the threat of school shooting would stop bullying. I don’t know why I just thought of that.
