What are “dudes” but puppets...made out of meat?

Franco also says he’s been spending some time getting to know Van Winkle in anticipation of the film. “Rob is such a sweet and intelligent guy and he’s been super helpful in the process of getting all the details correct and making us privy to information the public doesn’t know,”

Yeah, I remember vividly. My mom lost it when she saw the copy of Field Folio I was reading...

...only when he opens his mouth...or tweets/retweets...

That fact doesn’t make me less depressed/apprehensive about the state of affairs. Or the fact that tech is getting better at faking “evidence”. If it isn’t out there already, there’s probably going to be tech that just automatically whips that shit up.  Though given the track record with automatically-generated “kid-fr…

The biggest marker of the sea-change in the mainstream’s acceptance of conspiracy theories for me has been the shift of Snopes from “look at these weirdo urban legends that are too crazy to be true” to “please, stop believing this easily-debunkable nonsense!”, a role I’m sure the creators of the site never envisioned…

Well, cool, that just saved me a bunch on therapy!  Time to buy some more Cheerios and Crispix!

Yeah, I really love Hickman, too. Who says there can’t be more than one best Marvel writer, besides semantics enthusiasts? Honestly, they are both really good at stripping down heroes to their essence; they just have a different way of going about it. Hickman usually has a narrative ambitious, futurist approach; Ewing…

He’s currently leading by pretty much every metric, and the VP pick matters much more for him than most, because there is a pretty big statistical chance that he will die or be incapacitated during his term, and even if that doesn’t happen, it’s likely that his VP pick will be the next standard bearer for the party.…

Marvel’s best writer, Al Ewing

I’m ambivalent about whether I’ll like this or not. I’ve kinda grown weary of the “map game”, unless it really double-downs on crafting story and meaningful quests/missions, like The Witcher 3 (not that there aren’t also time-killer, rubber-stamp quests in that game, too).  I don’t want another Skinner box to…

Every time I look at that photo of Ivanka with the can of Goya beans, I think of Allison Williams’s character in Get Out eating Froot Loops out of a bowl and drinking the milk separately.

Do I get internet points deducts or awarded for never having seen that Peanut Butter baby nonsense before reading this.

I always got the impression that the goal was to try to pass the torch to whoever his VP is after his term is up.

Let us not forget Sgt. William “Bill” Fontaine de La Tour Dauterive!

The last two big-deal HBO shows I watched—Watchmen and Westworld S3—started off promising, but fell apart/fizzled in the end: the former used its last hours to indulge in more continuity-warping (in case you forgot the IP) and the latter just failed to converge into anything meaningful (even if it was convinced that…

If only it were that easy! Even if we vote the bum out of office come November (no guarantee there!), his stain upon our country’s history (move over, James Buchanan, we have a new worst president challenging you for the title) will remain and spread far into future terms. He has certainly lowered the discourse—don’t…

Noted and believed.  Now, spread out, compatriots, there are some malefactors or saboteurs about!

Thank you for offering the correction to the thing I already corrected.  Oh, sure, I *could* have actually rewrote my post to actually reflect my new knowledge, but that would require some future technology that can remove previously type-set letters.  Preposterous!  Incredulous!  Stupefying!  We are not living in…

While the authors of the article would probably love to see more comments, I’m guessing the powers-that-be that mandate this format would be fine if comments went away tomorrow.  Just gotta get that sweet, sweet CPM trending ever upward!
