I'm so lonely . . .

The A.V. Club:

Trump's more a maker of deals and celebrity than of stuff and he's a guy who declares bankruptcy and walks away from his debts without a trace of guilt. I doubt Rand would think much of him.

Yeah, Rand's explicit atheism and pro-choice stance is what makes her fandom among today's conservatives — especially social conservatives — so bizarre. She would have hated these people as much as she hated liberals. It's hard to imagine how they reconcile this.

Look, she's famous for being shot. I like teenage girls who don't get shot. Ok?

Yeah, Howard is pretty compelling as someone who probably thinks of himself as a "nice guy" but has only refrained from cruelty because he didn't have the alpha personality and looks to get away with it. His insecurities run so deep that he'll easily toss ethics aside in exchange for getting to hang out with a cool…

Same. It also took a long, long time before I could watch Eckhart in any other role and not feel revulsion for him.

"You got to get in that ass, Larry."

Yup. I read that scene differently than Vago, though. Martin filling his glass wasn't so much about girding his loins for the shark hunt. He was drowning his sorrows after the absolutely brutal scene from earlier that same day when the dead kid's mother (correctly) blamed Martin for her son's death because Martin…

She made me WAATTTTCCHHHHHHH!

Fuck off, I'm done with your nuance.

The Gilmore Girls. I would ret-con this so they weren't biologically related. Stop judging me.

"These schmoes must be forty years old!"

In CJ's defense, she had just had woot canal.

I think the parallel is pretty compelling. Ramsey castrated Theon to sexually humiliate and completely dehumanize him to the point where his identity cracked and he became Reek. When Sansa asks Theon what Ramsey did to him, the question terrifies him because of what that loss represents in a patriarchal system where…

It's a cliche at this point to complain about this site morphing into salon.com, but this post is a perfect example.

I think I can help. Whenever I find myself kind of liking Jeb Bush — and I agree that on a policy level Jeb is better than his brother or any conceivable 2016 republican nominee — all I have to do is remember his role in the Terri Schiavo case. Specifically, that even after he had exhausted all legal remedies to…

The gay-porniest parts of MMA fights occur during the ground game, and specifically involve brazilian ju-jitsu. I'm a casual fan and not a practitioner, but from what I understand, BJJ is the most cerebral part of the game, in that you're planning your moves several steps in advance, and it's a correspondingly…

"or jobs they don't love but lots of money from those jobs"
The grass is always greener and all, but I'm in my 40s with one of those types of jobs, and your situation sounds pretty appealing to me.
Landing a "good" job in your 20s, before you've necessarily decided what you want to be when you grow up, can be a curse…

I love that line too, and especially how it freaks out the beatknik he's talking to. They style themselves as existentialists, but the guy in the suit is the real deal.
