Well, he was diagnosed on Saturday and died on Monday, so maybe he just got good and liquored up (died in front of a video game — perfect.)

No, that was the aura of a complex migraine.

No, she apparently was experiencing an onset of a complex migraine.

She didn’t change anything. Someone cast a woman in a play. The racist internet freaked out. She responded by saying she was totally cool with Hermione being black if people pictured her as black.

Because there’s two more movies left to go. We haven’t gotten to the thrust of the story. Is that a real question?

Word. I have some complaints about the movie, but Ren was not one of them. I was really surprised by how much I liked Adam Driver. I went in hella skeptical, too, the only thing I knew him from was GIRLS, which I can’t stand (yet still seem to watch) and I just thought there’s no fucking way. The he takes the helmet…

That’s a really valuable contribution, thanks for chiming in.

I twigged that my parents were Santa from my dad’s handwriting, which is really distinctive. I didn’t tell them that I had figured it out though. I held onto that one for a while.

Black Panther is going to have a standalone movie in 2017. The’s the lead.

I find them just totally ludicrous, and the characters are largely unlikeable people. I’m OK with unlikeable as a concept, but there has to be a reason for me to keep coming back and the overwrought drama and completely nonsensical plotlines really don’t do it for me. I do watch How to Get Away With Murder, but only…

Talking about anybody “in general” is necessarily going to exclude a nontrivial number of people. I guess the question is: will more or fewer people recognize elements of their family in this? If its “more” then it seems like fair game for a lighthearted piece. If its “fewer” well then I don’t have a solution for you,…

I can’t help you with the dumb people thing, I mean what kind of fucking idiot do you have to be to take this (or any piece like it) as a universal truth? People like that are a plague on all of us, not just you, I’m sorry to report.

What is the root of your objection, that this doesn’t represent you specifically? There is no universally representative description of family holidays. There are sometimes common elements within a subculture (i.e my 84 relatives who only have like nine names between them) that large components of that culture might…

I’m Irish-descended, and don’t experience most of the parochial diddle-ai-ay stereotypes that get floated out in the world but I still think they’re hilarious because I still see the odd one here and there in my own family, and know that other families see the rest of them in components at least, if not in their…

Who is being satirized in this article? White people?

I write my own stories. I don’t like what the Hollywood machine is doing to good storytelling, so I create my own. I commune with other writers. We carve out a space for ourselves so we can read the things we like to read. We throw our money and support to the things we like, and we ignore the things we don’t. Its…

Well, do it yourself and we’ll see. Got a funny story to tell? Write it.

This wasn’t satire. This was a humorous description of an amalgam of relatively common black American holiday family experiences.

Write one, and get it published, and then there will be.

I’m setting the amount of money that was discussed in that 20 minutes of secret testimony at £750K. Over-unders?
