I don’t want to be too mean about it, but it does feel like the AV Club would benefit from having fresh eyes on SNL for their reviews. SNL can vary in quality pretty wildly episode-to-episode, and even within episodes, and it’s certainly fair to point out when a sketch doesn’t work or note systemic problems like how…

Oof.  Imagine all the babies that sprang from that notion.

For what it’s worth. People in the 50s believed that taking aspirin with soda before sex would prevent pregnancy. https://www.verywellhealth.com/myth-busters-aspirin-as-a-birth-control-method-906684

I had some tennis-loving adults in my family as a kid (and still do, it’s weird how popular it is in the South & Midwest, especially with older people, but nobody ever talks about it) and remember endless yellowing tennis-themed Peanuts strips clipped from newspapers and taped to various refrigerators. I have the…

Manson’s autobiography is also making news again for how he admitted his behavior way back when, so Reznor has to bring up that the story about him in it is a fabrication.

people make fun of the ‘grunge’ era, but it was so refreshing to see rock dudes sincerely giving a crap about women. i didn’t appreciate it too much then, but gosh, i really do now.

It is stupid that he needs to come forward and say it.  But when people talk about Marilyn Manson, Trent Reznor always comes up.  If he didn’t reaffirm now, the intertubes would be yelling about how Trent Reznor is enabling Manson by not saying anything and is guilty too.

Thank you kindly.

No disrespect intended - to you - but Novoselic can get to fuck forever for his widely publicised licking of Trump’s behind over the George Floyd protests.

“we’ve heard nothing montrous about Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Mick Jagger.”

Krist “let’s give Trump a chance” Novoselic?

I also had a roommate who liked things.

Never really got into M.M. Kind of always saw him as a guy just out to shock people. Now NIN was something I got into because I was into industrial at the time that the first album came out.  They are both my age (early 50's) and Trent looks fit and well and the last time I saw a pic of Manson was he was still doing…

I had pit seats on the Downward Spiral tour the first night in town, then was lucky enough to get invited to another night of the same tour at the same venue.

I knew Bryan in the early 90's when Marilyn was playing local venues in S. Fla where I grew up. Sunday and Thursday nights at Squeeze it wasn’t a big deal to run into Bryan and a member of the band putting flyers on your car or having a drink or three with them. They were hard-working and the music was defiant, raw…

I mean, it’s always kind of unclear with these goth/horror metal people how much they are genuinely creepy and how much is just performance art and kayfabe. Like, if you took Rob Zombie’s act literally you’d think he was a serial killer but he seems like a relatively chill guy in person.

who could have imagined that Marilyn Manson is a creep?

So, Punky fought Shelob?  Did she manage to get the ring back to Mordor?

I’m pretty sure someone messed up and released their April Fool’s joke on Groundhog Day by accident.

I’ll admit I’m not in the entertainment business and don’t know much about marketing, but is this supposed to look awful?
