I actually spent some time wondering after watching the series what a person with a conscience who had the power of mind control like Kilgrave would even look like. My guess is, very lonely and isolated. Afraid of influencing people, needing to be careful of everything you say, struggling with the morality of whether…

No one said that. Granddad was critiquing that there is too much high-fiving of famous men, and particularly white men (see: James Deen, Joss Whedon, Jon Hamm, Ryan Gosling, Louis C.K., Patrick Stewart), in mainstream feminism for paying basic lip service to women. That lip service doesn’t make a person a feminist,…

A very well executed body horror, indeed. And I am pregnant.

Her shade comes with a side of hair dressing.

I think they try to explain it away by saying, essentially, that Germany got to The Bomb first, and nuked Washington D.C.

Why I had my babies in a hospital:

Oh wow, he vacuums? Sign me up for this hunk. Maybe if we’re lucky he also puts the lid down.

Connecticut’s governor, Dannel Malloy, announced that the state will be accepting refugees as promised. His Facebook page is filled with vitriol from jingoists who let fear dictate their lives and override their mercy. But at least one state has publicly announced it will remain humane.

We have also decided we prefer to be indoors, coincidentally. The “we” here is royal.

Good luck! Every kid is different so yours may not mind, or hate it with a first passion. My toddler is currently protesting jackets, socks, shoes, pants, and long sleeves. And things that are the wrong color.

Mine did, at least until we transitioned to a big bed and used regular blankets. I just had to make sure it was long enough so the feet could move around independently and weren’t constricting leg movement. My kids are unusually tall, often thought to be a year or more older than they are, so the challenge was finding…

My kid sleeps at about 67 degrees. They have fleece footie pajamas and usually blankets by that age (2+). Not that the blankets stay on. But there’s wearable blanket sacks you can zip them into, too.

I don’t know if it’s me or the current gaming climate, but I have a hard time getting excited about any of the above listed games. Open-World MMO-style western RPGs and multiplayer-heavy games just aren’t my thing. I’m also not a big fan of zombies or horror, so that’s out. A $350 machine just isn’t worth it for the…

I think video game marketers are just getting more clever, really. Commercials don’t stick in a young audience’s mind the way that YouTube personalities, jokes, and popular comedians do. @Midnight’s Halloween episode had Halo all over it, and Conan too. It is funny, but also definitely paid.

I was just about to say the same thing. She looks just like present-day Daryl Hannah.

I’m not a coffee snob, but we use a french press at our house for convenience’s sake, and for price. It takes up a lot less counter space — one of the best things about it — and it’s cheap. I had a Keurig but I brought it to work because it takes up so much space and the k-cups are pricey. You don’t need to specially…

The first guy, maybe. The subsequent ones... not so much.

Because World Trade Center, 9/11, something something?

I think I’d be much more interested in a documentary about Steve Jobs than the emotional arch of a biopic. It just doesn’t seem like a biopic has anything further to offer right now that we don’t already know. At least Halt and Catch Fire takes place reasonably long enough ago (30+ years) to tell us something about…

I just don’t understand the need for biopics of people who lived and died, like, three years ago. We already know Steve Jobs’ story. This would be much more interesting as a film like 50 years from now when we all have iBrain implants. Some retrospective insight about the dawn of a new era of internet and computer…
