Because otherwise their pyramidal coffee cups and trombones and cats and space dildos would float around all willy-nilly and get into things, silly.

I've always been baffled by people who don't knock at the doors to people's rooms. I was raised to consider that basic courtesy, between adults, between adults and children, etc. My parents didn't want me barging into their room, certainly.

My parents were pretty good about that, although it took my mom accidentally destroying the shitty laptop I had bought with my own money (by accidentally putting a blanket on top of it) to get the conversation started about not cleaning my room for me. The deal was that if I kept my room clean they wouldn't clean it.…

"till" is super old, though. It's not an abbreviation of "until", and historically was used much more than "until". "til" is an alternate spelling. "'til" is a somewhat more modern variation due to the increased usage of "until", which has slowly replaced "till" over the last few centuries.

QFC isn't a convenience store, it's a grocery store, you monster!

Oh, is this why those people on twitter tweet "give me Cumbie's daddy" at Trump?

Montreal bagels are delicious and the best kind of bagel.

Putting those cereals on donuts is a long-standing tradition at Voodoo Doughnut in Portland, the Patient Zero of the needlessly overcomplicated hipster donut that gives you diabetes on contact.

In Portland, Tonalli's and Sesame Donut. There's a half dozen other good places but the Tonalli's fritters and buttermilk bars and the Sesame Donut sesame donut are the donuts I'd eat if I had only a week left to live.

The secret to gravity plating? Tiny wizards.

The Star Trek novels are horrible for this. They're constantly stuffed with random characters from the show. By which I mean "that woman Data tries to date" or "the cadets from Wesley's squad who did the bad thing" or "the waiter from 'Below Decks'", that kind of thing.

Well, fuck, now I need to throw away my computer.

The Borg pretty much have been explained in bits and pieces. They used to be a single humanoid species that just added more and more technology to themselves until they turned into a hive mind and started acting like gray goo. That's basically made clear in their original appearance, where we even see Borg babies.

Yes. "Gravity plating" in the floors.

You know, I thought we'd moved on beyond that kind of joke, but I guess in THIS, the AGE of TRUMP, all bets are off.

My favorite thing about "Accidental Racist" is that LL doesn't even try to rap on it and yet he still sounds out of breath.

It's a difficult position. People don't want a handout (but they take them anyway), they don't want the government to completely abandon them (but they complain about what the government does do), they don't want to retrain for a new career (which is understandable), they don't want to pull up roots to go find a new…

You're suggesting he could sway Trump personally with an argument? The problem with that is that the President is too easily swayed — best case, Trump tells Mick Mulvaney to change the budget, Mulvaney makes some minor adjustment and tells Trump "we've got the greatest arts funding now, big league", and that's that.

Yeah, I don't get what the issue is here. Assuming that a movie has a particular goal — a story it wants to tell, a funny situation it wants to riff on, an emotional effect it wants to have — there's going to be an optimal length. I don't see any controversy over the idea that a movie could be too short — you can't…
