Odds on whether the “hate” for classic Christmas songs is widespread, or just a deliberately contrarian hot take by Internet pop culture nerds.

Good. Now the final three episodes will have plenty of room left for all the hardcore dragon fucking that we’re expecting. I’m talking dragon-on-dragon, dragon-on-castle, dragon-doggie-style, dragon-hound-style, dragon-mountain-style, three-ways, seven-ways, ice dragons, fire dragons, sand dragons, lemon-cake dragons;…

I’m not upset at Ali, but this is pretty “heads-I-win-tails-you-lose” reporting given the number of times media outlets have gotten reamed out around here or on sister blogs for allegedly failing to raise racial issues in connection with reporting on POC public figures. (And that’s to say nothing of the number of…

Thank you, my brother.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Christmas ain’t woke enough for today’s AV Club

I only come to these SP reviews to see everyone ripping on how bad the writer is

I’m not one to criticise a journalist’s approach to, uh, journalism, but I find the AV Club’s South Park coverage to be just, like, so weird. The first-name basis with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the attempt to reverse-engineer a cogent ideological statement out of every episode, the way you discuss theme as though…

I’m so tired of seeing this pointlessly reductive description of the show’s ethos. It’s never actually been “people who care about things are dumb”, it’s more of “some people will pretend to care about fashionable causes purely for the sake of their image/ their own ego, rather than out of any genuine altruism”. Which…

He don’t owe you shit. Like, I have no interest in any of this man’s books but... he does not owe you even one thing because he got your ass to buy his wizard book

This feels like the type of thing that might get settled with a fastball up and in, if one of the remaining games gets out of hand. And that’s probably fine.

Sad day. For boxing fans like me...from Arguello v Pryor to Barerra v Morales HBO was the gold standard for free (non PPV) fights. Thank god for Showtime I guess.

When a white guy needs to learn about what’s really important in life, “Solsbury Hill” will always be there.

Oh fuck. Fuck this song and all its fucking children (all of whom seem to be invading the airwaves right now).

The Francises of the world just ain’t never gonna lighten up.

I, too, want a horse that tastes like a horse 

Can we, as a nation, go back to the time where the only time getting a tattoo was acceptable was if you were a truck driver, biker or in the military. The only thing that surprises me more then seeing the shit that people permanently get put on their bodies is finding out the hundreds of dollars they paid for someone…

If there’s one thing that reading Garth Ennis books has taught me over the years it’s that all super-heroes are inherently fascist.

It’s true.  For example, did you know that our time on Earth is finite?  

Oh man. I’ve heard it’s bad over there. I don’t think I could function in boxing media.
