The best part of this was when Iris was in a hurry for the notes because they had to “go to press”. Like she’s got a giant newsprint machine hiding in her office somewhere to print out her blog. Also, they should learn about Google Docs or Wordpress or something, you can do collaboration without wasting all that paper…

It’s a website: It publishes articles based on articles on other websites, articles that consist of lists of Tweets and articles that talk about what people are Tweeting or posting on Instagram.

I, for one, enjoyed Allegra being promoted to “staff writer” at a two-person news operation. I can only imagine what Iris’s paper looks like. She doesn’t go out reporting, we never see her doing any kind of journalism (leg work, phone calls, internet research), so what does the website publish? I guess she’s as useful…

Make sure to describe your kid correctly. As a kid, I wandered off in a mall. As an adult, I learned that my dad had provided a perfect description to the security guards... a perfect description of my brother. :)

I think you’re never going to reconcile that if people didn’t do stupid things on shows like this there would be no plot or conflict. It’s so contrived from conception that it’s a necessary evil.

I think you’re never going to reconcile that if people didn’t do stupid things on shows like this there would be no plot or conflict. It’s so contrived from conception that it’s a necessary evil. Now, there’s relative stupid and over the top is fair play, but it they’re always going to be stupid. We’d be more angry if…

First time saying this: thank god I’m too old to give a shit.

Or to the lay person, “Why are those people dressed insane on a beach holding a large firearm.” They look dumb enough, maybe theyre dumb enough to bring a gun, maybe theyre dumb enough to not know safety.

If you are carrying a fake firearm around in public where people aren’t expecting to see fake firearms (as opposed to a cosplaying convention) then it has to be recognizably fake from a reasonably distance otherwise you’re just asking for trouble. I played a bit of airsoft as a kid and got tons of looks from…

Good thing she was not a black cosplayer, or this would have been a completely different post... on The Root.

Yeah, your advice is super cute for those of us who work outside and have to wear protective clothing.

And we’d all like to ask Jonathon Frakes if he’ll be doing a bit on Star Trek Picard. Either as Will Riker or Tom Riker. Personally i’d go for Tom, have him bust out of the Cardassian Penal Colony he was stuck in.

Agreed. Seems like Cersei's scheming should have been wrapped up first.

I cannot believe Arya had sex with the night king like what the heck!! I don't see how this advances the plot at all

Truly a godlike genius. RIP.

Greta Van Fleet are to Led Zeppelin what The Black Crowes were to The Rolling Stones.

There was nothing to take these bands’ place. Name a relevant rock band younger than 40. Rock died. It’s old people music. If you like rock, you are old.

They all had big singles so it’s not surprising that they have the staying power. Most people are stupid and crave comforting ephemera. 

Can’t this be done in a way that highlights the fight against white supremacy (ie focus on King and others), and not drawing attention to individual scumbags who haven’t done anything newsworthy this week?

How about we don’t spend Martin Luther King Day talking about websites by white supremacists?
