Unless yall have specifically asked the question, can we stop describing this person as her, and use the more accurate, birthing person? I don’t know how this can be so hard after I just read another Jalop story that was full of references of people who identify as female. Or women, or vj owners, or... crap now I’m…

This one was a baffling article as it starts with admitting that there are discussions about Marvel’s direction, then all the other slides essentially argue that MCU is actually doing absolutely awesome, no notes, everything is great. Like I was not expecting bashing, nor do I think it would have been correct, but…

Hot Take:

I don’t think “as-yet-unholstered” means what you think it means.

Yeah, people retroactively tend to apply the monocultural-juggernaut status the MCU now has to Phase 1 when it was all a lot more up-and-down at the time. Really, you can tell that they’re kind of hedging their bets on the whole “shared universe” thing and are making equally certain that they could just be a bunch of…

Wait, traffic fatalities went up in 2021 over 2020 when we were all told to stay home in 2020? SHOCKER. The speed limit in Utah is 80 in many places. Ever notice how many articles you read about the massive uptick in fatalities because of the speed? Oh wait, you haven’t seen any? Hmmmmmmm

It really nails the “why write good word when any word still make clicks” energy of the modern era AV Club.

A surprising amount of people are willing to publicly admit that they never really developed more than a bare minimum of bladder control. Try doing some kegels, folks.

Nobody still working at The AV Club has this level of wit anymore.

‘With the longstanding box-office legacy Avatar still wields, Cameron has reason to feel believe in the audience enjoyments his films deliver.’

The big social paradigm shift we need is for people to stop expecting every single piece of entertainment to fit their specific wants/needs. A movie is 3 hours long and you can’t go that long without peeing? Sorry, I guess you’ll either have to hold it or miss a few minutes of the movie. We also need another paradigm…

And that whole pro-segregation thing and friends in the KKK thing. 

a lifelong public servant who got himself rich.

This is the most neoliberal thing I’ve ever read lol. 

And yet Ghislaine only got 20. I guess that’s the difference between sex trafficking to the powerful and sex trafficking to yourself.

Yeah, I genuinely think people just got mad that he went from being an approachable chubby doofus to being what the mainstream considers hot, and they resent him for that in the bizarre, way too personal parasocial way that the Way Too Online specialize in

i’ve never really understood this critique of him? Are there many churches who’s stances on LGBTQ+ people are not super behind the times? Is he the only actor in hollywood who goes to church? Because going to church and cosigning all the backwards beliefs of christianity are two very different things, and pretending…

I know the AV Club has to go after a celebrity every few days to feed but you’re already trying to take down Alec Baldwin a few articles over and you filled up on Nathan Fillion. Pace yourself.

Yeah, I can read and hear all of those things about cookie dough, and it doesn’t matter. I’m still going to eat a considerable amount every time I make cookies. 

The glass & ice probably has more microbes than the garnish which is sitting in brine or alcohol.
