The high-school students all look old as hell

Here, Stanley updates the material by tapping into contemporary anxiety about environmental disasters, specifically tainted water.

I don’t like movie theaters and I usually wait for movies to show up on Netflix or wherever to watch them. But on New Year’s Day my parents, brother, and sister left for a week at our condo in Alabama, leaving just me and the dog and a blessedly quiet house. I spent the morning vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen, and…

Yeah, I know all that, which is why I categorized the show as “99% bullshit”. I think even people who enjoy the shows know this by now. It’s still annoying to watch when you know there’s an entire generation who can’t afford home ownership.

Ohhh, yeah, good point. Would also explain the obsession with double ovens, since they tend to have double digit amounts of children.

My elderly parents will watch hours and hours and HOURS of this channel, but I just want to guillotine everyone on it, especially on the various versions of House Hunters. You could make a drinking game out of that show, where you do a shot every time someone complains about an easily-changed element like paint or…

i guess it boils down to if you are a keeper of books or not. If you take pride in physical books and want to hang onto and lovingly display them, and possibly re-read them, this is a terrible idea. It looks ugly and the book will start to shed pages and fall apart pretty quickly.

My brother and I always thought that scene of Wilford Brimley going apeshit on the radio was funny, but that may be at least partially due to the fact that our father was regularly mistaken for Brimley by random passersby (around the same era). We still sometimes shout “I’ll keel you!”, using Brimley’s weird delivery…

I just discovered You’re Wrong About with the episode mentioned in this article. I did know that the DC sniper attacks weren’t terrorism but some weird combination of domestic abuse and a really hamfisted extortion attempt, but there were still a bunch of details I didn’t know. I’ve been listening to some of their…

I haven’t read the book. I was pretty baffled by the prison scenes, but confident they would start to make sense and content to wait for them to do so. And it was pretty satisfying when it came together at the end--I assume the prisoner that killed himself was in the same situation as Terry, and wasn’t lucky enough to…

My brother swears he once saw a Wheel of Fortune episode where someone guessed “clam [racial slur for African-Americans]” when the answer was actually “clam diggers”. 

“The truth is that I’ve looked back on my own life, every moment from that moment forward, and I do wish I had done more,”

Seeing as how many of the contestants in The Biggest Loser, which used to give Michaels a paycheck for screeching even worse vitriol than this in their faces, wound up with dehydration, kidney damage, heat stroke, and a myriad of other maladies, to say nothing of the emotional damage done to many of them, maybe no one…

I just finished the 2nd season. I think Waller-Bridge left as showrunner after the first season, though.

Sister Michael is me if I was an Irish nun. “I know exams are a stressful time, so if you’re felling overwhelmed or just need a bit of chat, please for the love of god, don’t come crying to me.”

I streamed a bunch of stuff I had been meaning to watch: Russian Doll, both seasons of Fleabag and Derry Girls, the last season of Preacher. Oh, and I also watched Don’t Fuck with Cats, I will watch pretty much whatever true crime content that Netflix puts out. Liked all of it, but the second season of Fleabag was…

You know he only shoehorned in that Hot Take™ to trick everyone into reading and reporting on his sex life. 

I see Phoebe Waller-Bridge cleaned up again. I just finished the second season of Fleabag on Friday and I was legit depressed for the next couple of days. I can’t remember the last time a series continued to affect my emotions even after I finished watching it. I’m pretty sure whatever Andrew Scott goes on to do, he…

The outside parts are actually pretty nice. The rest of it needs to be burned to the ground.

She didn’t invent anti-vaxxers, but she gave them a giant bullhorn through which to spew their stupid, deadly ignorance.
