The real answer is this could never become a mainstream look because of how long it takes. Trixie does some INTENSE makeup, both in look and time investment.

If you stare into the black void above the white lines on her face long enough, you might catch a glimpse of eye whites as she moves around. So there, just stare into the void.

The themes and core characters of KOTOR II are maybe my favorite in any video game I’ve ever played. It’s a shame that its rushed production schedule led to some production cut corners, which prevent it from being placed consistently on the same level as the original game. But give me the Exile over the [player…

They named one, it’s just they should have gotten rid of Corbyn long ago, as his faults as a figurehead have been very apparent for a long time now. He was clearly, clearly kryptonite to electoral success, and now Labour has to suffer the consequences of that. What good is bringing all those young people into your…

It’s the same shit as “snowflakes” and “triggered.” All three of these phrases are ways for assholes to mock what others consider important or what others are offended by. But god forbid anyone say something they’re sensitive about (like a critique of their faith) or that offends them (like an insult of their…

Once Upon a Time made me spontaneously burst into tears for about 10 second at the very end (when Dalton is talking to the person I won’t name through the gate). Movies can get me to cry from time to time, that’s not unusual, but it truly came out of nowhere with no buildup, and then passed. The surreal, tragic…

They still make thoughtful sci-fi. Arrival and Annihilation are both recent, thoughtful sci-fi films. Plenty to pick apart with both of them, but both are solid, thoughtful films that bring something fresh to the genre.

I agree that she didn’t have much to do in the finale, but I think her main purpose was the moment where she decided to arrest Ozy. Sure, LG could have made the decision himself if it was just the two of them there, but Ozy could take on one of them, and I think it needed someone from the original story, someone who…

And so many people projecting their own insecurities and failure to take responsibility for their own behavior on Nick, Heather, and Matt, too. They seem at peace with Joey's call-out and turned it into something more broadly educational, but these weirdos insist on painting them as victims with no power in this…

Such an unnecessarily long, dumb comment to let the world know you’re total garbage.

I’m an avid podcast listener, and I don’t listen to a single political or news podcast. Granted, my work is tangential to that world, so I get enough of that in my day to day; podcasts are my escape from all of that noise. Non-serialized comedic and storytelling podcasts are my jam.

If you’re ever interested in trying…

Much better said than the endless “where’s MY favorite podcast?” comments.

Yeah agreed, they always seemed like the odd-man-out in my list of favorite musicians and bands, just because so few people knew of or liked them outside of critical circles. The sequence of Two Dancers-Smother-Present Tense is such a fantastic trio of albums.

I agree that you need good speakers or you’ll miss the smaller elements of the song that tie everything together. The album is gorgeous though, start to finish. home with you, fallen alien, and mirrored heart are awesome (also cellophane of course).

Jean Smart, after Fargo and Legion (yes, I'm too young to have watched Designing Women when it was airing), became one of my must-watch actors. I'm so glad this series is continuing that trend -- she's an underappreciated force of nature on screen.

Yeah well put, I was struggling to find concise ways to describe all this

They could morph it into a teachable moment about the debate, but they framed the pan character’s description of bi people as correct, so they kinda took the side of someone who identifies one way telling people who identify a different way, what their identity means.

I’ve never liked Maron more than when I read those comments. He pretty much perfectly explained and shut down the “wah cancel culture” crowd.

The issue is, I think, that there are pan people who say similar things, and bi people consider those people’s framing of their identity as incorrect. So the character was mimicking a thing some people actually say that some bi people disagree with.

Her endless likability and unimpeachable talent, it’s all really confounding. Everything else has been tainted by now, but Dolly just floats above the rest of pop culture doesn’t she.
