I finally got around to watching Get Out, which was as good as I’d been led to believe, of course. I actually had to pause it for a while at the midpoint to take a breather. That would have been a lot of fun to see in a crowded theater (which is something I never thought I’d say about any movie). Also keeping up with T…

I don’t get this. I teach at the college level in Michigan, and it has been drilled into our heads through our Title IX training that ALL faculty and staff are mandatory reporters. I can’t imagine how coaches are somehow exempt from this.

Read the last two sentences of my post. I have pretty much lost all expectations of decency from anyone.

The Astrologer does have a very The Room vibe.

I held my breath a bit after reading this headline, hoping that Curtis didn’t write something that would ruin my lifelong fandom for her. Glad to see that her response was thoughtful and appropriate (IMO), which is what I would expect of her. These days though, man, you just never know.

MeTV or one of the related channels have been showing ER practically non-stop on weekends for a while now. It’s been making my weekends much less productive!

I think that’s a pretty common “conservative” thing. Violence in films is fine, but sex, especially anything other than heterosexual P-in-V sex, is disgusting.

I’m from that neck of the woods, and Union Pier, like most of these southwest Michigan beach towns, is a mix of wealthy “summer people” and regular mid to low income folks who definitely don’t live in beachfront McMansions. I’m guessing people there in the winter lean towards the latter.

Why would you roll your eyes at that? I’m talking about rural areas where water basically just spurts out of a pipe coming out of the side of a hill next to the highway. Perhaps you don’t understand what the word “artesian” really means.

I rarely so strongly disagree with an AVClub review, but I thought this episode was a steaming pile of shit. I was so bored by the end that I didn’t even care about the big reveal. It was pretty much 40 minutes of exposition interrupted by a Ford Mustang ad. 

It’s not often I feel I can call myself an expert on a topic on AVC, but as a former health department sanitarian and current professor of biology and environmental science, as well as living pretty much my entire life relying on private water supplies (i.e., wells), I think I can throw my two cents in. If these…

I have to disagree. The two hours and forty-five minutes of 2018 I’ve experienced so far have been great. I’ve been drunk the whole time, and am now eating a bowl of cereal. Yeah 2018!

I thought this said “Obama’s coldest night” and I was really confused. I’m drunk. Happy New Year!

2:30 am New Year’s morning, just got home after a great party. Happy New Year to all my AVClub friends! I have spent far too many hours over the last several years on this site, and though you may not know it, some of you have become part of my daily life. Here’s to another year, you crazy assholes.

I teach Environmental Science, and...

Thanks for this @nothingspecial! I will be checking this one out!

I should say so! I got a very stern lecture from my CCD teacher when I tried to explain some aspect of Jesus’ life using JCS as my source material.

I’m feeling lucky. I already won a wad of cash in a fundraiser raffle this week, so I’ll give it a shot!

Lambskin, huh? So, could you use one for a condom in a pinch?

Tell me about it! Back when I was doing research on ants, bees, and wasps I started an online group called Hymenophilia. It did not attract the group of entomological professionals I had expected.
