One down, three to go:

“They might be one of the good ones though!” validates that stereotype in trying to refute it, like the only reason not to distrust a person wearing certain clothing is that they may have some larger value to society despite what they’re wearing

That’s not true! Many of them are from less populated states than mine, so their votes for the US Senate and relative significance to the Electoral College are worth considerably more than me

Every court decision involving this administration seems to turn into “Rabbit Season/Duck Season” back and forth nonsense, but with consequences for real people so it’s hard to appreciate the farce

It’s a good thing we have a moderate former Senator with over four decades of political experience and strong ties to a previous administration, no way Trump could beat that winning combo!

This is how I felt about Yooka-Laylee, another Kickstarter that ended up being exactly what was promised and feeling slightly disappointing for it. Nostalgia cuts both ways, I guess

This article lays out a plausible case that this might all be political theater, and the question could still end up on the census, unfortunately: 

Reminds me a bit of Pokemon Conquest, except it isn’t a grid tactics game and they’re using characters from the series instead of giving signature pokemon to actual Japanese historical figures

I don’t know if it’s evil, but the people who seem successful at it always are

Outside of building Stark’s relationship with Peter so it could pay off in Infinity War and Endgame and establishing that Pepper was back, everything in Homecoming seemed influenced by the wider MCU but not vice versa. It wasn’t like Damage Control, the proliferation of Chitauri or Avengers Tower being decommissioned…

Lady in the Water is a movie written and directed by a man who also cast himself as the third or fourth lead, a character who’s writing was so amazing that it would inspire world peace but he’d be unappreciated in his time and die a martyr. The human antagonist, who is also the only character death (and a violent one),…

They’re afraid of alienating 750K users who, while themselves alienating to the point that they’re a liability, still click around the rest of the site. Those other subreddits weren’t big enough to merit that cost/benefit

When I was 13 it was Tom Green and the Jackass guys, but there will always be some asshole doing immature shit for an audience of 13 year olds who wish they could be doing the same thing and calling it a performance

The script is for a pretty decent action comedy, but half the actors and all the people lighting, shooting, or editing the movie seem convinced they’re making Blade

It is maybe the perfect adaptation of solo Venom comics from the 90s, right down to the corporate villains sending waves of mercenaries in major American cities with no consequences, bloodless violence, and the nature and personality of the symbiote and Eddie changing from scene to scene. I loved those dumb comics and…

both roommates were likewise booked for being under the influence of a controlled substance at the scene

It’s not mature to appease intransigent racists, it’s just cowardice and greed. Sometimes it takes cowardly and greedy people to get things done, but there’s no reason to claim moral superiority and insult people who correctly say that doing so makes you cowardly and shitty too

Transplants were the ones keeping Texas red in 2018. Beto might have had some cross-over appeal among conservatives, but it seems like most people willing to move to TX tend to vote Republican

I really dug the first two episodes. It’s weird that no one higher up saw the potential in this, it’s got a “Stranger Things in the swamp” vibe. It has some tone issues, but it’s the second episode. If they’d have put this on HBO and really gone for it, early season Tru Blood style, this show could have been an actual…

*Clears throat* The Lost World has its charms
