I loathe the redeeming a "bad" female character by rape trope.

Last night, mr rottenkitty and I celebrated twenty-seven years of marriage. And this punk can go fuck a goat.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. He's secretly the King of All Douches. Or maybe not so secretly. How he has a career baffles me.

American Gothic is wonderful. It had a real southern gothic sensibility which you almost never see on TV. And Gary Cole is terrifying as Sheriff Buck. In a sweater vest!

Michael Bishop. BRITTLE INNINGS is amazing.

I knew him and he was really wonderful and incredibly smart. And what a writer.

Bester isn't obscure to anyone at all familiar with the genre. He's great but pretty much seminal.

The Scalehunter's Beautiful Daughter is a magnificent novella.

I just said this on FB to the nasty bit of business who made a snotty remark that PP doesn't deserve funds. There's a special hell for some people...

Thank Mike Stackpole. He was on the front line of dealing with this crap back in the day. He was and remains a total badass.

This is making me so sad. I had this argument with Mr. rottenkitty1958 about Evans being cast as Captain America after playing The Human Torch. I pointed out that he was, you know, an actor. And I think he's been wonderful.

Oh, I completely agree. Mr. rottenkitty thought everyone should go to college, until he started teaching college — and this was as a TA back in the day when going to a state college cost so little I won't even say the amount.

My mistake. I misread your comment. My apologies.

Couldn't agree more. We're losing an entire generation of people able to do well-paying jobs that don't require a traditional college degree. Carpenters, plumbers, and electricians to name a few. And just because someone prefers to go into these professions hardly makes them unable to perform the course requirements…

Hattie McDaniel was the first African-American actress to win an Oscar — in 1940 for her supporting role in Gone With the Wind. She played Mammy.

Sadly, there's no moratorium of people tackling Some Over the Rainbow. And it really doesn't need any extra notes. It has a melody.

My problem, why not just use the original Garland version from the movie over the montage/ Jesus fuck, it was her signature song and I doubt anyone will ever do it as well again.

Nope, I owe you no favors at this point.

After slogging through your reply.
