She’s not competing against anyone else, and she’s already set all the relevant Olympic records. She is only competing against herself at her best. So if she is suffering twisties (given the danger of her unique routines, which no other female gymnast is performing in competition) there is no reason for her to compete…

can someone notify Congress in the next 2 years or so about passing a law to restrict the “parental alienation” defense, or anything to ensure it isn’t used so effectively to take kids away from their moms as a response to allegations of abuse, which are then followed by further allegations of abuse 88% of the time…

I keep trying to tip the folks that bring my groceries out and they will not take it. Stupid corporate guidelines.

None of this litigation matters in terms of what actually happens in court, this is all for the media. When they first got divorced the narrative was “Wow Johnny Depp is a horribly abusive piece of shit who spent years terrorizing Amber Heard” now that they’ve spent years airing all of their dirty laundry in court the…

An unrepentant one, of course.

As an abusive asshole.

Ha. “Fridging”. It’s funny because it’s true for once

“The middle-aged couple, prone to ruthless barbs and copious afternoon cocktails, begins to toy mercilessly with the naïve young couple at their door,”

Catherine O’Hara’s talent is otherworldly. I love that she came up with the verbal mannerisms and Moira’s fashion sense & wigs & when she explained it all to Dan Levy when they were discussing the character before the show started, he was just in awe 

My favorite COH moment is when she does that laugh without even opening her mouth, and just keeps at it for like a full minute. God, I will miss seeing her on my screen every week.

I think she said in an interview that that lightbulb was just there. Like, the props department didn’t plan it or anything, there just happened to be a spare lightbulb in the drawer. 

This is a great assessment. When I was 12, I was happy to overlook TNG’s flaws in writing, acting (Stewart and Spiner excepted), pacing, set design, wardrobe choices, etc., because it was literally the only thing on TV for nerds apart from PBS re-running Tom Baker-era Dr. Who. Then X-Files and Buffy made genre stuff…

Not only is it a beyond-tired trope (as I said regarding an earlier episode, it’s a trope that was recognised as exhausted by SF writers as early as the 1930s), it’s a fundamentally bigoted one.

I can’t say I’m surprised, but Rami Malek not winning for Mr. Robot is fucking wild.

I was actually thinking this for a hot second. I mean I wasn’t really into the slow-mo style that took over Hannibal Season 3 or American Gods. I didn’t understand how his style was compatible with Discovery. But that show lost showrunners, and this show is on its third showrunner, so now I’m pretty much all the way…

At this point I wonder if Fuller didn't make some Faustian bargain to have nothing but good shows but they all befall a terrible fate.

This season has really been all about the importance of Elliot and Darlene’s relationship. All the big deaths and confrontations and even sacrifices of others take most of the attention but in the end this is what really matters.After all we spent a lot of time on making Elliot understand he can’t do it alone and the…

Oh my God YES. I was petrified of that one. I was just about to comment about it! When I was a kid I had a queen size bed and a mirror next to the right side, I slept on the left side with all my stuffed animals and pillows on the right size so I couldn't be near the mirror and I had to have a night light. This went…

Quicksilver: it comes out of the wall!
