This was his design...

I’m GenX. My husband, who is also GenX, still flips through channels. I actually don’t know how to use the TV remote.

Mr Evil Cheekbones you’re too good for this :(

I honestly feel bad for kids applying to college now—and that’s without considering the pandemic. The pressure was intense back when I was doing it (about 15 years ago), but I think it gets worse every year. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when my peers have to help their own kids through it.

I’m referencing the plot of Mysteries of Udolpho, in which a fake Italian nobleman holds a woman hostage so she’ll sign over her Toulouse estate. See, this is exactly why my Gothic Studies in Travel Safety curriculum should be widely adopted.

Yeah, it’s really weird to see people making fun of him about his choice about how something makes him feel, something that doesn’t affect anyone else. Like, if he was spouting drug war fake talking points then I could see mocking him. But people having bad experiences with psychoactive drugs is totally a thing, and…

Waiting on the comments raging at Ashley and those interviewed for this piece for not being sufficiently enthused by Biden's win. 

The election really handed the Biden administration a win in that they can blame (at best) a slim majority in the Senate for not doing anything about immigration. Basically any “shortcoming” they can blame on the GOP not wanting to play ball rather than their own fealty to neoliberalism. Crossing an imaginary line…

Another crucial problem is that they tried to draw inferences about the causal effects of mentorship which were not justified by their data. They even acknowledged the issue, then went ahead and pretended they had identified a causal effect. And the outcome they focused on was not necessarily a good indicator of what…

The sheer laziness of this study is breathtaking. Experienced male authors have higher citations and female researchers that co-author with the experienced males have higher citations. The established predominance of male researchers in STEM fields is just taken as a given, like the sun rising in the east and water is…

Well, thank God this trend towards clickbait in all areas of publishing and professionalism hasn’t led to anything appallingly dangerous so far, right? *glares at The Lancet, sharpening a knife*

A friend is someone who will help you move your furniture. A good friend is someone who will help you move a body.

I think the Screech character is a super-dated element that you can’t plausibly update at all, not even in a winking irony way. That whole “skinny nerd loser with pocket protector and think glasses who builds robots” just isn’t a cultural thing, any more. Same with the other background nerd characters. And the jock…

“Certain it was some New Wave artist or something”

Ok, I hope no one is surprised that Biden’s default choices are trash. Don’t forget, most of us were holding our noses just to get Trump out. Biden doesn’t get a pass, and we can’t slack off because we “need a break” or whatever. Miss me with that “we can’t push Biden/Pelosi/Schumer/____ to the left.” Yes the fuck we…

I must begin this comment with the same comment I leave anytime anything of Kylie Bunbury’s or MPG’s is discussed: Bring back Pitch, you cowards!

If nothing else, it is safer to film in virtually any country other than the USA.

Referencing the pandemic was a huge mistake. I was immediately drawn out of the story and started wondering why they weren’t wearing masks. Also, I have no idea why that store closed ‘due to the pandemic’ when no one seems to be changing their behavior. Should be business as usual.

I was kind of hoping that John Carroll Lynch would finally get to play a hero. Then they really hammered home that he’s inspired by Mike Pence.

In conversations about a person who has committed a crime, there are always some people who want to dig into their history — “What was their family life like? Their childhood? What about the town they grew up in?” — while another kind of person will get irritated by that and say, “Stop trying to make excuses for them.…
