He's going to stop Chicagoans immigrating to America "until we figure out what the hell is going on".

It wouldn't be that surprising. In the UK we've recently seen a senior minister having to go from absolutely deploring a comment that he thought was attributed to the leader of the opposition, to stating how reasonable it was when it turned out it was said by one of his own party. And Trump's at least ten times more…

A quarter of a century ago, Twin Peaks set out the blueprint for most serialised TV shows a quarter-century later, and it was awesome.

What I'm really getting from The Return is that Lynch is way more accessible on TV. Maybe it's just from having so much more time to play around with, I don't know.

It would have been so easy for it to be bad. It's dodged so many of the ways that it could have been bad, one way or another.

I'm beginning to think I need to watch this show scene by scene with the Wiki open. I've completely missed who Richard Horne was and had no idea why he was in this.

I think they mean movies that aren't actively trying to be "so bad it's good". It's the difference between Anaconda and, like, Sharknado.

It does make you think… does this mean they went in there to fight the monster and then… have babies with each other?

There doesn't have to be a point.

I think this is a bunch of racists recognising bad faith when they see it. I wish the left would do the same.

It turns out that the right-wing live to be offended.

Nihilism can be neutral, if the nihilist carries on doing and saying neutral things despite his nihilism. Nihilism just removes some of the boundaries to being shitty (or amazing), which is why it's usually seen as negative.

The great thing about this video is that you can pick a side knowing that, when the video's done, you'll go right back to knowing that they were all idiots and arseholes. Pretty much everyone there deserves a lot worse than they got.

Well, if nothing else, watching that, I very briefly rooted for actual racists. Was that the plan?

The beauty of situations like these is that you don't care who wins as long as they all die of their injuries.

Stoked for Daikatana 2.

I could have lived with the memory of Bill's mother causing problems if it had been explained as something other than "the power of love". The fact that it was a somewhat "artificial" memory - something imagined and built rather than actually remembered - offered an opportunity to have an abstract human-friendly…

The Agrofuel thing made me think "Oh god, no, surely not."

Soooo…

It's weird that fear and strategy are not adequate substitutes for love, but desperation apparently is.
