Goddamn, I still love this movie, which is still far and away the best game-to-movie and it isn’t even close. It knows what it wants to do and does it well, coupled with some terrific fight choreography, a script wittier and quotable than it had any right to be, and stunning on-location shoots and set design. And of…

This is the sort of fun fact content I live for. 

Interestingly, about 1.4% of jigsaw puzzles are sold to cinematic prop departments for use in concretizing the futility of existence in mental institutions and long-term health care facilities.

The first thing that happens with me when yet another report of a POC shot down ‘while Black’ comes up on The Root is I close the tab. I can’t comment. There’s nothing I can say that will do that man — it’s usually a man — any sort of justice or express my anger, fear and hopelessness.

the Gerry-hating always struck me as the kind of bullying that nerds feel allowed to perpetrate when they get power, because “i’m a nerd so it’s automatically ironic or allowed or justified”. But it’s always shitty, and i am always disappointed that Parks never called themselves out for this bullying. They recognised i…

I enjoyed this a fair amount but goddamn am I fed up with the Gary / Jerry bashing. it was always a really ugly and unpleasant element in the series and that they went to that well so many times in this episode really frustrated. And I know the joke is that he has a wonderful life and doesn’t care about the way they…

His cynicism/disdain of Lil Sebastian is definitely one of my favourite recurring bits on the show.

This shows the power of the bully pulpit. Hillary warned us about this.

Trump has another problem brewing over that test of hydroxychloroquine at the VA that seems to have ended up killing more veterans than it saved. How the test was run, who signed off on it, what were patients told, and why the VA made a large purchase of the drug and how soon they realized the drug might be doing more…

If there is anyone who doubts Darwin and ‘survival of the fittest,’ all they have to do is keep watch over the next few years, I guess. Voluntary evolution is happening in real time.

Is it like an anomaly or how they are treating all non-violent federal offenders?

My aunt came to me with this nonsense. I had to explain that adding lemon juice to alkaline water just makes the water lemon flavored regular water.

In the beliefs of the Nation of Islam (NOI), Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yaqub) was a black scientist who lived “6,600 years ago” and began the creation of the white race. He is said to have done this through a form of selective breeding referred to as “grafting”, while living on the island of Patmos. The Nation…

Communism was a red herring.

It was subtle, but they peppered in some clues all along. 

I’m still trying to figure out how they equated not revealing the Penguin’s gender to it being treated as transgender.

Remember kids.

It’s a trick. Get an axe.
