To be perfectly honest I’m barely paying attention in zoom court; our county currently has a backlog of over 13,000 cases (in spite of the fact that we dismissed over 2,000 minor violations that just decided we couldn’t be bothered with in this environment) and zoom court doesn’t do much to help that. We’ve just…

OMG video court is the WORST. We use zoom in my county, and I turn off my camera and mute myself while posting here and on Giz while we’re in session.

So I guess when they say “some people”, if one or more people have done it that’s “some”, and if that/those one or more people happened to be suffering from Alzheimer’s at the time, well, it still counts

I am so happy they went the miniseries route, and also chose a venue where you can have the freedom to do it justice. Really looking forward to this.

This entire episode pretty much confirms what I think about Christian Conservatives generally and the screechy of moralists specifically, although technically since he was in the room with his wife she wasn’t alone with another man... so there’s that.

Not everyone has a pool- but just about anyone could need a plumber...

I used to prefer physical to digital because physical meant you got a cool manual, or a map, or... SOMETHING. But these days you get jack other than the disc unless you buy a special edition, and seeing as the last special edition I purchased was “Anthem”... well you can insert the facepalm emoji right here. For…

Wow, just when I think I can’t be surprised by the evil...

I read your comment and initially thought I was crazy... the I went back, relistened (and more importantly googled) and nope, that was absolutely not Nina. No one can do Nina but Nina. They also don’t really sound all that similar, and the original is far more sparsely arranged.

Michael Jackson was a rapist and a pedophile; had he not managed to kill himself like a dumbass if the universe was a just place he should most definitely at this very moment should be alive and spending the rest of his life in prison doing hard time for the aforementioned pedophilia and cavalcade of rapes. Having…

I’ve loved Bela’s work for decades- thank you for this. The piece they play at 2:47 (Big Country) is one of my faves from BF&TFT’s Left of Cool, which is now a mind-boggling 22 years old.... What I find hilarious is that I had front row seats to see him & the Flecktones a few years back, and I totally recognize…

Yes but the absolute WRONG version- it’s Nina Simone or gtfo

+1 for the Sea Captain joke

Sooooo when I was eleven we got HBO and, unbeknownst to my parents, I would watch any movie that even remotely had the promise of boobs in it- I cannot BEGIN to tell you the number of R rated flicks that I sat through (A Passage to India! The Big Chill!) that ultimately a) bored the shit out of me and b) seriously did…

Amazingly gifted writer- horrible, horrible racists dick. As a black man I read his books mostly to spite him; he’d be rolling over in his grave at the thought of me sitting here among the second generation of my family to have graduate degrees and success in America. 

The opening battle scene appeared to be a conflict between humanity from across time and aliens and/or interdimensional beings (I guess those would be the same thing). The hats and trenches reminded me of WWI but I think it was supposed to capture the feel of the John Carter books, which, by the way, are bananas. 

My understanding is that the woman he was calling was in Korea (where he was fighting in the Korean War) and was an ex-lover maybe? Sounded sorta ominous, but then again why would you call spooky ex-girlfriend to catch up in an era where that call probably cost the equivalent of $78.... I immensely enjoyed the entire…

This looks amazeballs as usual, Allison. Graham cracker pancakes are the bomb- when we were on lockdown I took Cook’s Illustrated’s recipe for them, added chocolate chips and topped with freshly whipped cream flavored with toasted marshmallow syrup to make something approximating S’mores pancakes, and they were…

1) I’ve been a cooking enthusiast for literally decades and I DID NOT KNOW THIS. Thank you for teaching me something new! 2) Duck fat rocks

So many gray hairs. Sigh.
