There’s a whole generation of ‘em.

I’m really seriously astonished that a massive corporation somehow had a contract worth $500 million and their lawyers seriously didn’t include a provision on the total number of episodes they would be receiving.

“It would seem a bad time to alienate subscribers”

Although it’s probably more alienating non-subscribers.

Most White people will have an idea or an educated guess where at least some of their ancestors came from in Europe. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for most Black people who are descended from slaves, by virtue of the system of slavery.

I like how in America, “Asian” means people of East Asian descent, and if you’re talking about anyone from elsewhere in Asia you need to be more specific, but in the UK “Asian” means people of South Asian descent, and if you’re talking about people from anywhere else you need to be more specific. 

While I am entirely comfortable with the term ‘black’ (as a Black American) I am hardly offended by ‘African American’. The reason its so specific to the continent and not a country is that most ‘African Americans’ have little to no idea WHAT country our forefathers were from! Thanks to the international slave trade,…

More saliently, Black Americans are not Africans, and haven’t been for eons

Back when DS9 was still on, I recall a TV guide interview with Avery Brooks who had similar thoughts on Black people being called African-Americans. I’m a social dem white person, so my opinion doesn’t count very much, but I kind of agree that the term isn’t that great. For one thing, it relegates skin color to a…

That’s a really dangerous thing to say. Can you imagine what the world would be like if more people believed this? It’s one thing to think it, but when you’ve got a platform and you say that kind of thing you’re influencing a lot of people, and normalizing this kind of thing is really going to hurt the art of…

What is San Francisco going to do about this scourge of lawless tech bros roaming the street?  Our children are scared, it’s not safe after dark, something must be done!

If they'they're going to restart Robocop, get the creative team from The Boys on it. 

I can’t wait to see them miss the entire point of RoboCop again!

Remember when the internet was going to help scientists and world leaders communicate, share ideas and information and make the world a better place?

It’s way too late to reboot RoboCop, you can just turn on the news for that kind of story now.

Not me. When they said “streaming” all I thought was they would just transfer all 1,000 shitty channels from cable to online. When reality TV came out, I knew then original content was dead.

Remember when the rise of streaming services was going to result in more independent, diverse, creative, and experimental movies and TV shows, breaking away from the stale Big Studio and Network TV monolith models? Good times.

There are still vendors walking around, just not beer vendors. A lot of the stands close and start to clean up, but not all of them. Any stand selling dessert type stuff usually stays open later. Gift stands and shops stay open till after the game.  They also make a point of announcing that alcohol sales are ending,…

I fully agree.  There's some muddled aspects to Waco, who shot first and that kinda stuff, and one can 100 percent critique the FBI for pushing a doomsday cult too far with tear gas, but to act like Koresh was some innocent hippie dude living on his own not hurting anyone is frankly nonsense.  They didn't deserve to…

This article and review also seemingly and weirdly letting Koresh off the hook. Sure, the ATF and FBI screwed things up, but to suggest that “dark gray areas to every claim on every side” is nonsense. Koresh was an awful, far-right, fundamentalist creep that needed to be stopped.

Im interested but the original show had a weirdly positive spin on Koresh. Like the guy had an arrest record for quite a few not great offenses, his religious group did kill some people prior to 1993, there was a bizarre leadership battle involving resurrecting a dead body, and its worth noting some survivors of Waco…
