Given how quickly they made Piscatella being gay into a punchline last season, I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

Maybe this will be clarified later in the season—though with the sloppy way this show operates now, I have doubts—but when Cindy and Suzanne were hiding, the guards knew they were looking for two inmates who were yet to be accounted for. No one seems to even notice that Pennsatucky is missing. How does that work?

This episode is kind of a cringeworthy, scattered mess. No real story, and it’s swinging hard into the misery porn territory that’s suddenly so popular these days (Why? The world is so terrible; why are we making all our shows painful to watch, too?). And OITNB hardly makes much effort toward verisimilitude, so you…

The Iranian president suggested that the U.S. should make peace with Iran and not go to war with them—admittedly, his phrasing twinged it with a little bit of a threat, but not that much, and certainly not enough to warrant the reaction he got.

That was great. I really loved the opening song—one of those things only Steven Universe could pull off—and was hoping it was going to be another full musical episode à la Mr. Greg, but I’m glad we at least got that.

...so how many friends do you need to be happy? All this video shallowly covered was how many relationships of each level we’re equipped to manage as primates.

I see a lot of lobbying for The Handmaid’s Tale, but I think the 2nd second has fallen from the heights of season 1. The first season (like the book) built the world and examined how June/Offred navigated it. Her narration gave a lot of insight and was infused with the occasional wry/dark humor of June essentially…

It looks like you linked to someone’s personal profile on “Families Belong Together.” Families Belong Together is here on Twitter: https://twitter.com/familiesbelong and their website here: https://familiesbelong.org

You guys at Gizmodo Media might want to take a look at the drumstick in your own eye before criticizing the speck of breading in your neighbor’s when it comes to boosting homophobic chicken:

Are these current? Google just kind of generally returns what it feels like these days. They’ve tweaked their algorithm so hard to try to show you what it thinks you’re looking for rather than what you search for that it’s nearly impossible sometimes to conduct a search of what you’re actually looking for.

Dear conservatives: “I should be afforded the same rights as everyone else” is not a negotiable “difference of opinion.” We don’t have to “tolerate” your calls for us to be murdered in the street (the logical end result of this line of thinking) or whatever other nonsense you shit out your face hole.

Radiolab had an episode years and years ago about dreaming. But there was an interesting bit in the episode about musicians practicing, and how sometimes they’d practice something for hours but still struggle with it. However, the next day they could miraculously play without issue. The theory was that the frequent/dai…

Great to see that The Takeout/Gizmodo Media is super-cool with a business that openly displays its bigotry, as long as it’s against gay people. 

Drawing, like any other skill, is not a superpower. It can be learned. Maybe you don’t become a master at it unless you are born with the innate aptitude for it, but you can definitely learn how to do it. I’d say the same for anything that qualifies as technical artistry—music, writing, culinary arts, dance, etc. With…

My experience between Home Depot and Lowe’s are the same as yours. The people at Lowe’s will actually help or answer a question. At Home Depot, if I can even FIND someone to ask a question, they never know anything. One time I was at Home Depot and asked where something was. The dude who was “helping” me had me follow…

This is also definitely a good tip for traveling if your trip just involves putting stuff in a car to take it to another place, where it will be mostly stationary—not flying, basically. My friends and I regularly rent vacation homes for getaways, and they always make fun of me for traveling with all my stuff in a…

This is written with the assumption that, as someone working from home, I’m essentially running my own business by freelancing. But what if I’m a full employee of a company, not a freelancer, and still work from home? Would that still require a permit? The company I work for has its own office; I just don’t ever go to…

Thomas Middleditch on Bob’s Burgers the same night Dan Mintz is on Silicon Valley. I wonder if they coordinated that somehow.

Like many people, I totally ruined my credit in college because I, of course, was a dumb 18yo and theoretically understood credit but not really in practice.
