I think he has a very cinematic style of writing that allows me to visualize the story extremely well, and the subject matter is interesting enough to carry the book even if the plot comes and goes in fits and spurts. It's like a really good Steven King novel without so many boomer friendly references.

They've been on a real tear lately: talking romance and tazzin' out with Maria Thayer, letting the chaos and take no prisoners attitude of Deadpool infect the Earwolf studios, passive aggressively airing Earwolf grievances with Kulap, adding a new and gripping chapter to the Scharpling saga, and this week. It's gonna…

It comes from not really giving a shit about liberal causes that don't directly affect you, with a helping of a romanticized notion of authoritarianism and a well-intentioned but misguided distrust of the bad byproducts of free trade.

I'm surprised that Hardcore History doesn't get mentioned all that much in these comments. Anyway, I'm loving this "King of Kings" series, it's hitting the perfect blend of political backdrop and military nerdery that "Blueprint to Armageddon" often missed by going too heavy into the military stuff.

In Dan Carlin's world anyone in history who ever talked about anything was doing so loudly and angrily.

Kroll and Gabrus is the most "not that kind of show" pairing ever.

Somehow they perfectly nailed the very tiny demographic of alt comedy nerds who know and like the NBA but hate college basketball that I fit into.

Tbf there are some dumb young "liberal" people out there who have only heard for months that Clinton was the great Satan with designs on having Sanders sent to Siberia who are now being won over by Trump's dumb populist opinions, and maybe some of them will learn something about how unrealistic his ideas are from this.

"Everyone talks about immigration but no one ever does anything about it, at least Trump is planning on doing something" - my literally reactionary friend.

Keeping in mind that Ted Cruz is so obviously the worst thing about this election that everything else is competing for second place.

My February book, American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It's not even long at all and it's excellent, I just can't will myself to read when I have so many other options for entertainment available. It's bullshit.

Lol Epic Takedown Bro I bet Father John Misty will ask you to do guest vocals on his next album since you love real music so much.

I would say Kumail is as well, he seems like an adorable teddy bear of a person in real life.

Jared in Silicon Valley is basically Gabe from the Office except a little less mean. I loved Gabe, he was just on the wrong show, and I'm glad someone found the right place to use that type of character since Woods nails it.

Yes, but I don't think he's literally Satan like the meme everyone seems to have glommed onto, and I genuinely don't see why that instance of him attempting to explain a boring fact to his wife as small talk is taken as evidence of mansplaining. I don't even think that mansplaining doesn't exist, I just didn't see it…

How was it condescending? He asked her if she knew what the Carol Burnett thing meant, she turned to him and went "hm?", he started explaining it and the doorbell interrupted him. Maybe he misjudged how much interest she had in something and went about it awkwardly but that's just a normal forgivable human fuck up, it…

Oh for fuck's sake.

Yeah no shit. And we don't need to see it.

When it's used stupidly and wrongly it gives me headaches.

Yeah and those fanboys are stupid.
