Which part of Live Free or Die Hard should I be deriving public policy from?  The part where John McClane ramped a car into a helicopter?

Has nothing to do with baseball.  The House is currently controlled by the GOP. The majority of right wing and religious talk radio, especially that the 60+ crowd still listens to and gets their information and opinions from, lives on the AM dial.  Hence, this bill.

I can’t imagine ever wanting to live in a neighborhood with a HOA.  Have never in my life heard a story that makes them sound like anything other than an absolute nightmare.  And they’re seemingly almost always in those neighborhoods made up of horrible prefab homes that all look exactly the same.

Can always get the Honest Trailers guy to do it.

Would definitely at least agree with the sentiment that these shows are almost universally bad at sticking the landing. Like I actually enjoyed F&WS right up until those last couple episodes, which for me were so bad they kind of tainted the rest of the show, at least in terms of ever wanting to revisit it.

I should be clear, there’s a fair amount of it that would be better than “that wasn’t terrible”; I was just trying to say that, with the exception of Secret Invasion, the MCU tv output even at its absolute worst has been (imo) at least watchable.

I can’t honestly say I’ve ever seen anyone defend Secret Invasion, no. It was a come together in hatred moment for any divisions in the fandom similar to Rise of Skywalker for Star Wars fans, lol.

I know that, as you say, Marvel’s stock is not at its highest point right now. But to be honest, the only MCU show they’ve put out that I outright disliked was Secret Invasion. All the others have at least hit “that wasn’t terrible” for me, and there’s been some legitimately top-tier stuff like Loki S2 and (most of)…

I wish I liked 3 Questions better than I do. Richter has always seemed like a nice dude but he's just... not a very compelling interviewer.

It’s a shame because the first film was legitimately cute. But the minions going from sidekick to oversaturated Illumination mascots and these films having less and less reason to exist beyond that first one has been a bit of a bummer to watch.

I love Spider-Man 2, don’t get me wrong, still holds up, but it’s imo not even the best Spider-Man film, let alone the best superhero film. That honor belongs to Into The Spiderverse, as far as I’m concerned, which is pretty damn close to a perfect superhero film in a number of respects.

Well that's something, at least.

I can’t wait for the show to run headfirst into the proverbial train station wall that is Very Expensive Show meets Diminishing Returns meets David ‘tax break’ Zaslav meets Half the Old Audience Won’t Be Watching Because Joanne Is A Tool

Should be? Yes. Is? No. You have to meet the electorate where they’re at, not where you wish they were. There’s 35% out there who are going to vote for Trump even if he shot a puppy in the middle of Times Square, and another 10 who are mad about the puppy but on the fence on fiscal policy and who find trans people…

My general hope is that, in spite of the closeness of the polling, things are actually less close than that.  Democrats outperformed in the midterms in spite of polling indicating otherwise, a lot of which I think has to do with the abortion issue.  How I’m not seeing an ad every day about how if Trump wins, abortion…

What... what is this “I’m rubber you’re glue” shit? I’m a trans woman, I don’t need you to tell me the inherent danger of another Trump presidential term. Go out there and tell people about the accomplishments rather than just yelling at them that they should vote Blue because Red Bad.

Good. So what precisely is being done to educate the electorate on these gains? What are you doing, besides being smug about it in the AV Club commentary section, to make sure people know it? Why, if the Biden administration has accomplished what it has, is this election as close as it is and what can be done to…

I think it’s arrogant to presume most people don’t realize this. Trump is such a malignant danger that I would vote for a Pet Rock before I did anything that would give him a chance at the office again, but that doesn’t mean not recognizing what we’re being offered essentially is that Pet Rock, and that it actively…

HAHAHA what, what kind of weird thing would that be to be into nobody would be into that I don’t know what you’re talking about
