I’m not going to lie, when I first saw the headline I thought we were talking about Booker’s baldness, and I was like, “I guess that is a position someone can have?”

I get to write about video games for a living, have cheap rent (thanks Kansas!) but also have fast internet because I live near Kansas City.

Man, we been knew.

“Don’t break into someone’s house and then shoot him” doesn’t seem like an especially impossible standard.

Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…

Dave Arneson got Jack Kirby-ed.

Let’s remember that literally one of the first things Trump and Sessions did upon taking possession of the WH and Executive Branch in 2017 was to actively remove white nationalist domestic terrorism from all the counterintelligence and counter-terrorism watchlists that had been established by the prior Administration…

Trader Joe’s isn’t gay. I go all the time.

Waiiiiiiittttt.....

Look,  I live in West Hollywood and have for 20 years. That town just doesn’t look very gay to me.  For fuck’s sake,  where is the Trader Joe’s?

2-hour lunches are excessive, but I am in favor of keeping judges fed and giving them frequent snack breaks in the afternoon, since that tends to result in less biased sentencing.

Hate to say it, but D&D made the right decision and maintained a holistic vision for the show’s ending. Excellent direction would have been jarring alongside piddle-poor writing.

I have had multiple traffic stops where the cop came to my door with gun in hand. This is what cops do. What the law says is not relevant to them or to judges/juries.
