When did they start making these hyperlinks so irrelevant? I’m used to The Root putting in links to other articles but they usually have a point.

The sea was angry that day my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

That I agree with 100%.  I’m also afraid it’s going to be a long time before she’s released given the complete and utter lack of diplomatic rapport or leverage with Russia at the moment.  I’m glad the State Dept is trying but for now it’s window dressing.

Half the WNBA plays overseas during the offseason (usually for more money) and more than a dozen play in Russia?  

On the one hand, it’s not like they’re keeping anything particularly vital up there, but on the other hand...

While I wouldn't turn my nose up at fish ice cream, as someone with a serious shellfish allergy I don't want to endorse "putting crab where it's not expected."

And to think Jack Del Rio interacts & coaches Black players..

See, I disagree that Frank’s Red Hot and Sriracha are interchangeable. They may have a similar heat profile but the acidic brightness of Frank’s Red Hot is very vinegary while the same brightness in Sriracha is more pepper-forward. For me, the test of hot sauce compatibility would be Mexican cuisine. I’m just not a…

You’re absolutely right. Viewing one person as a person immediately diminishes all other injustices in the world. Truly, justice and goodness are part of a zero sum game.

Now we’ll never get answers to such burning questions as, “What the hell is going on?” and “Why the fuck should anyone care?”

Dry.... is the best word I'd call this series. Like chewing through over cooked meat.

Apropos of nothing...

She looks like the sister from Jurassic Park.

It is weird how many drug users I offended with a not really all that funny joke.

Yeah, I’m thinking it would have gotten old somewhere around the third episode, but they’d probably have a single moment at the end of the season where they’d wring one final genuine chuckle out of it.

She probably doesn’t know the difference between sludge and sediment (dregs).

I enjoyed this despite the animation style (photo-realistic environments; plastic frozen faces). The season (all 24 eps) is action & firefight heavy while the plot is largely nonsense.

Tried watching it, it was awful. CG...ugh.  Looks like a fuckin’ cutscene. 

J:FO is 5 years after Order 66.  Cal is clearly older but there is absolutely no way this is 14 years+ in the future. It’s more likely it’s a smooth 5 year time jump from the original game - putting it at exactly the same canon point as Kenobi (just over 10 years post-Order 66).

In the mid-90's the radio in my mother’s 1986 Saab 900S only worked if you punched the shit out of it (or at least the dash board directly above it). Definitely “fixed” a loose connection. At least temporarily. Otherwise you’d only get AM radio.
