I like how “RIP the iPod” automatically comes up along with the other obits as a recommended article. Good job, automatons that are making the editorial decisions for Zombie A.V. Club!

I guess they’re waiting for some celebrity to mention Robertson’s death in an interview somewhere. Then they can report on it. 

A.V. Club wasn’t part of Gawker then. 

“We?”

Good news for Rihanna!

Somehow I missed that. But really, the Republicans have been aggressively anti-union for their entire existence. Even when both parties have been anti-labor, the Republicans have usually been the more anti-labor of the two (although with certain caveats and variance by region and time period.) And Reagan being a union…

I have it on good authority that the 1960 actors’ strike was led by a conservative Republican!

Believe me, a lot of them absolutely are. 

Exactly. She’s absolutely not a MPDG. She’s basically a normal person, trying to help Carmy be normal too. Almost the opposite of an MPDG.

They could have had her discover after Big’s death that he’d badly mismanaged their finances and she didn’t really have all that much. This could have left her with enough to live comfortably without having to work, but not be uber rich. It would be an accurate representation of what often happens to older women who…

My small town is pretty good in that respect. It’s also a part of the San Francisco bay area, and is part of a county that went for Biden over Trump by a 51 point margin. 

And, at 135,000 people, couldn’t really be considered a small town.

And to those pointing out that sixteen is over the age of consent in many places, that still doesn’t invalidate my original point, which is that kids that young do stupid shit, and that’s why there’s at the very least, a lot of social disapproval of adults who take advantage of that, if not legal consequences. She was…

I didn’t get any of that confused. I realize Hill isn’t being accused of having sex with a minor, but “It’s illegal for adults to have sex with 16 year olds” was a lot more concise than, “It’s illegal for adults to make sexual advances to sixteen year olds.”

You do realize that the reason it’s illegal for adults to have sex with 16 year olds is because 16 year olds aren’t mature enough to make intelligent choices, right? You’re basically saying, “Why was she dumb enough to put herself in this situation where she was hammered and a potential victim of creepy older dudes’…

Too bad it’s a slideshow.

Yeah, about thirty state legislative majorities. 

I’ve been watching a bunch of Muppets stuff lately on Disney+ and I noticed that it’s kind of hard to navigate. I thought there’d be a list of Muppets titles in one of the first few categories shown to me, or links off to the side for Muppets, Pixar, Marvel, etc, but it’s not quite as easy as that. I mean, it isn’t…

Here’s an idea. In order to stream the service’s most popular titles you’ll be required to sign up for at least a year, with no refunds for early cancellations.

“Steve Spielberg?”
