the 6 episode formula has been too short for these shows to do anything significant, they've just been burning through story beats with no time whatsoever to establish stakes. I'll take a really long season over whatever FATWS or Hawkeye were any day

I love how the article tries to insinuate that it was terrible that she took a week to respond to this manufactured controversy. Y’all ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

I kind of feel for the Queen. She did just lose the man that she has been married to for over 70 years. And she has to deal with her family’s nonsense. And she still has to be the Queen.

There’s so much to unpack when it comes to Americans deciding that other countries should overthrow their governments because we somehow know what’s best for the people of another nation? That’s just a new brand of colonialism, and it’s gross.

I do think it’s time to let bygones be bygones. Mistakes were obviously made, but that was 20 years ago, and it’s clear Camilla and Charles are each others’ OTL. This is not a mistake that is worth demonizing a couple over 20 years later. 

Shit, I was not actually prepared for that. I think it may be the fugliest interior design I’ve ever seen- and I frequent McMansion Hell. Even minus the mounds of ugly Christmas crap, you can still tell there’s a nightmare underneath. The fake flowers/plants alone.

All the people involved are geniuses the way the blended fiction with actual events and it wasn’t corny and fit very well into the story they were creating. . I mean the fact that so many people never knew about the Tulsa Massacre is so telling about why we have a such a race problem here and why so many people want…

Watchmen’s episodes “This Extraordinary Being” and “A God Walks Into Abar” are some of best hours of television for one of best shows in recent years. The amount of narrative challenges and trickeries seen in these are so well planned and written that manage to deepen the plot and characters, further elevating the…

I run for about 3 weeks a year to get in shape for a Tough Mudder. But ever since the gyms closed, I’ve been on a twice a week running kick.

I have no issues with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard owning a building and I think they’re being really good landlords by not charging rent for April. It’s decent and I wish my apartment complex would do the same.

I agree! But alas, I made the mistake of trusting democracy.

Not enough white sauces! I need to know which blue cheese or ranch dressing is the best.

No ranch? I feel like this survey was culturally biased.

There are two parts the New York Palace: the regular hotel, which is for the commoners, and “The Towers,” which are three-floor penthouses. This happened about 20 years ago, and at the time they were the most expensive hotel accommodations in NYC — more than the Plaza or the St. Regis. I remember that half a…

“Americanized translation” just refers to the words that showed up on the subtitles. The actors say the words jjapaguri, but the English subtitles translate the word as “ram-don,” ie. ramen + udon. Basically instead of assuming that an English-speaking audience would understand that jjapaguri is a portmanteau of…

“The first oyster mushroom I ever ate was stolen from the the table scraps of a Saudi prince.”

Believe it or not, making a model that can be destroyed spectacularly is harder than you’d think. In general, Lego is a pretty sturdy medium. To make a model explode into a thousand pieces (as opposed to just coming apart into a few large chunks) requires building in specific points of weakness, all while still making…

Oh, the big bad is SO Sara Diggle. I have no doubt at all.

- I know Not!Laurel’s always been a snarky asshole, but it seems like she turned up the dial this time.
