Let’s stop pretending that McDonald’s serves a breakfast burrito.

The execs just didn’t feel that the target audience was one that cared about Sonic Classic.

If the exec in charge (presumably not the one who greenlit it) thought that this was for Generation Z kids who somehow were disconnected from YouTube and the Meme Industrial Complex, I could see them going with a modern redesign.

My family is going to be confused how often this very funny story makes me cry this summer.

RIP, Sir Terry.

I would expect him to shake things up a bit more than that.

Marginalized writers almost always get their big shots on books that are about to end. Christopher Priest’s big break came on the doomed-in-advance Power Man & Iron Fist, for instance.

In other words, this is the fresh start that’s going to be the template for the MCU X-Men, in keeping with how Marvel works with the movie folks by doing trial runs of stories that later show up on the big screen.

Hickman is a great choice for this, though. I am in.

I’ve played the one at the Museum of Pinball in Banning, California.

It’s a gimmicky pinball machine, but nothing more. The cue balls don’t have nearly the action of a regular pinball, and the game is slow and boring as a result.

Still, cool to see in person, since it’s comically huge.

Also of note: He claims to be making a documentary clearing Michael Jackson of child abuse and proving all the allegations against him are lies and conspiratorial thinking.

The question is how you give them comparable tests.

But cephalopods are capable of solving mazes, climbing into fishing boats and eating the crabs out of traps, communicating and using tools.

The first time I saw an octopus open a jar to get a treat inside, it about broke my brain.

I’m a carnivore, but eating octopus feels a little like eating a primate to me.

Only the last two episodes take place after the defeat of the Others, so Winds of Winter getting published would have meant only two episodes of the screenwriters vamping.

It’s certainly no Whiskey Cavalier.

Now I want to find the Pixels porn parody.

Honey, I’ve Run Out of Ideas.

It’s how this show works. The quality has dramatically dropped off once they were out of books to pull from.

Yes, the writers are phenomenally well-paid and ought to be capable of better. But the point stands that, if Martin could put out a book every five years or so, they would have more material to pull from, acting…

So, you know the thing where you make a dumb joke long enough that it comes around to being funny, even hilarious?

This isn’t that.

George, it’s been eight years. Yeah, this season is great evidence that pleasing everyone with however you plan to wrap this all up runs the very real risk of pleasing almost no one. That almost certainly makes this intimidating job even worse.

But you know what’s guaranteed to not please your fans? This being the only…

Milwaukee’s Best has always been worse. It’s literally cheaper than water in some stores and definitely cheaper than soda.

How would a 2019 Blade be different than the classic one? (Other than the music and probably not starring Wesley Snipes.)

My middle schooler asks about our credit card balances and how much his mom’s new car costs us each month.

He’s been getting an allowance since he was 5 and has turned into quite the little saver, after making some disastrous purchases he immediately regretted over the years.
