Sure enough, he did answer the second after that clip ended. I’m sure the AVClub will be quick to update their “story” about this important moment in American political history.

Have these people seen what the average Eurovision performance looks like. I’d be surprised if any of them weren’t on drugs.

Is there a band called California?  Because that’s also an option.

Chicago was from Chicago. Nazareth was not from Nazareth though (they were from Scotland), but they picked the name because of an affinity to The Band’s song “The Weight.” Asia on the other hand cynically picked their name because place names were fashionable and they knew they would be prominently placed in…

That is the thing... New Yorkers seem to have VERY strong opinions about their politicians but have this bizarre obsession with going at them over the hokiest nonsense instead of actual matters of substance.

He paused for eight seconds, we don’t know what his final answer was...

Exactly. And it’s not like Jay-Z is an artist with some central obvious best song either. He has a very large catalog with several different songs give you very different things depending on what you’re looking for. Unless you just want him to give some cliché answer like “Empire State of Mind” or “Hard Knock Life”…

Oh my god, someone took longer than eight seconds to choose a favorite song by an artist.  The scandal!  This is plainly a gaffe that demands and entire article on a website!

There’s a reason very few movies are written in iambic pentameter...

Doctor Strange did, in fact, play in China. In fact it made $109 million dollars there.

Given that centuries old Spanish gramatical conventions suggest that “latino,” when used to describe a group, is not specifying a gender (kind of like saying “hey, you guys” to a group in English isn’t always gender specific). Using the word in that context is not gendering anyone one way or another, it’s just…

It shows that 5% of women rather than 1% of men use the term, yes that’s more, but either way it’s still only 5% of a population saying they want to be called something so I’m not sure why this is a hair you want to split.

Is “suspending disbelief” supposed to be a virtue?

Some people just cannot handle the idea of the unlikable protagonist or anti-hero.  You can very patiently try to explain that depiction doesn’t equate to endorsement to these people and it just doesn’t compute with them.  

Well, you clearly didn’t read it given that there was more than one question in the poll and you seem to have missed the large pie chart a little past the halfway point on the page which specifically shows that two thirds of Spanish speakers who HAD heard of the term did NOT think it should be used to describe the…

In general, it seems to me that we should be following the lead of actual POC communities as to what they want to be called, and when the documented majority of that community says they DON’T want to be called something it seems more than a little bit presumptuous to over-rule that and call them by that anyway, which…

And a lot of Latin Americans think “Latinx” isn’t inclusive because it’s a word popularized by English speakers who think its their place to police the grammatical structure of another language.  

Grease sucks, having something in common with Grease is not a good thing. Especially if you’re telling a story that’s supposed to be taken seriously.

And you’ll notice that the media hasn’t dived right in to following the lead of the feminists who say “womxn” like they have with the word “Latinx.” Why do you think that is?
