Yeah; his stuck periods usually involved him taking 6 months off to invent a language or something.

Captain Marvel made a billion dollars. And Endgame was almost complete by the time it released (they came out like two months apart). Carol’s role was modest in Endgame because she’s insanely overpowered, and for the time being it’s best to keep her on the sidelines and use her as a last resort, lest she become a…

I’m decidedly of the opinion that the first Hunger Games movie is easily the best of the series.  Yeah, the camerawork is less pretty, but it has the cleanest plot structure and the series hadn’t run out of ideas yet.  Catching Fire’s “tournament of champions” concept mostly just felt like an excuse to do all the…

THE NAME OF THE SHOW WAS EXPLAINED IN THE FIRST EPISODE. 

Could be worse. There could have been Sorting Underwear that figured out if you went to the boys’ dorm or the girls’ dorm.

This is not actually my story but I was there and it happened to my friend. College trip to a ski lodge resort in upstate New York. There was a main hotel, but there were also lots of bungalow-cottage type accommodations huddled somewhat randomly (some up on hills and rises) around a large swimming pool. In winter,…

Josh Brolin has also gotten involved and offered to kill 50% of the kid’s classmates, to be selected randomly.

Wendy Melvoin is proof positive talent and raw power aren’t enough to make it in the music business. She’s one of the best guitarists to come out of the 80's and next to nobody gives her the credit she deserves. Not only does she have the technical skills, she’s got what too few guitarists have - the soul to know what…

Way overdue Wendy Melvoin moment but glad it came.

No one really changes or has any meaningful catharses.

It’s telling that you would pivot to Joe Biden.

Physical reaction to stimulus does not equal consent.

I’m sorry this happened to you. You did nothing wrong. Always remember that.

Exactly zero Republicans held their nose for Kavanaugh, because they didn’t think he did anything wrong. At all. Otherwise your point stands.

This is a really well-written piece and fascinating. I hate the whole 20/20 take on this shit, like women can either be sex goddesses OR mothers, and never both at the same time. Good for Ms. Kross for forging ahead with what works for her and being successful at it.

one who’d like to preserve the perception of themselves as brave truth-tellers, but would prefer not actually having to engage in any of that risky truth-telling business.

I disagree with a lot of what you are saying here. I do wish that Kerr said more, but you can’t just jump from “he didn’t say what I wanted him to say about this issue” to “stick to sportzzzz!”

I’m generally OK with fast-casual restaurants. I couldn’t begin to count the number of visits I made with co-workers to Applebee’s and TGI Friday’s and The Elephant Bar for cheap drinks and appetizers-turned-meals after work, and my best friend from high school specifically worked for an Olive Garden, so I do have a…

Congratulations, Bianca!
