Backlash to the Black president was part of what happened, but the other thing that happened was that almost the entire country, conservative and liberal alike, turned on Bush and his ilk. On the left, that was pretty easy because other than for a brief period of patriotic delusion after 9/11, the left always opposed…

Yes, actually. That’s not a good thing. How many copies of Marvel’s best-selling series sell each month?

It’s fine to not like the show. Not everyone who disliked the show did so for racist/sexist/gatekeeping reasons. I’m only talking about the dishonest, bad-faith actors.

Almost no one who gave it an honest chance had those problems. The well was poisoned before it premiered by bad-faith racist and sexist criticisms, as well as the worst kind of lore-purist gatekeeping. There certainly are aspects of the show deserving criticism (I don’t like the driving force of the series being myster…

“This time around, we keep hearing about the multiverse, incursions, and Kang, and it’s exactly the kind of shit no one wants to explain to their grandparents on the ride home.”

Wait, you think it was good? Holy shit what did the MCU do to people’s brains?

Major League and A League of Their Own belong in the top four. The Natural belongs in a trash can. I’ve never understood the appeal of that turd. It’s borderline unwatchable.

We need someone to come in and deliver basic sex ed instruction about reproductive anatomy and the process of development from embryo to infant. Just stand there, with big, colorful pictures, and give them the basic information that Republican lawmakers clearly don’t know and have been fighting to prevent anyone else…

Smaug and Bilbo’s dialogue is literally the most famous and most important scene in the entire book. He should be long-winded, it’s kind of his thing.

D&D is not the final arbiter of mythical creature taxonomy.

John Robinson is the lawyer for our side. He’s trying to legalize abortion, not ban it.

“Lawyer for the plaintiffs”.

Aw, aren’t you cute. Someday you’ll be able to distinguish between outright theft and fines for illegal behavior. Not today, but someday.

The presumption in a court of law is innocence. That doesn’t preclude intelligent people from forming opinions.

Exactly. You know how nobody has ever paid any price for the torture regime at Guantanamo? Yeah, that’s because half (probably more) of the country saw it as the right thing to do. In a country that believed in justice, everyone who ever worked there, DeSantis included, would be doing time (or swinging at the end of a…

Until Florida’s economy is crippled as a result of these idiotic virtu-signalling bills, nothing will change. As long as the dollars come in, Desantis and his lackeys can point to that and claim they’re doing the right thing. That means that decent Americans need to start boycotting companies based in or heavily…

If you are just a regular person who lives with their parents for financial reasons and isn’t a Nazi scumbag internet troll, you’re fine. It’s not ideal, as you say, but you’re not hurting anyone, and living at home is an understandable necessity in this economy.

Pence’s boundary is actively sexist and harmful to women - real, actual women have and will miss out on career advancement opportunities because Pence refuses to be alone with them and cannot treat them equally to their male peers.

The problem with that is that Tate is a legit fighter, and there’s a real good chance that he could beat the shit out of the other prisoners. No, a good painful castration would be appropriate (on top of the life in Romanian hellhole prison).

In a dirty basement, with dull rusty tools.
