It’s almost inspiring how badly they want their voters to die.

Geez. It died? Oh well, it probably had a preexisting condition.

Are they allowed to tell a compelling story, too?

Sad news: Rome died. Now we get to evolve language however we want.

“I was traumatized, Summer, okay? Your generation wouldn’t get that.”

“That’s the level of intellect this writer have.”

Trust me, I know the feeling.

My dipshit cup is full today, Hughes.

I’m tired of reading about Alamo Drafthouse news because every time I read it I think “Oh it’s a bar” but then my brain corrects me and I remember it’s a movie theater chain.

You initially see Don as the ultimate capitalistic/patriarchal power fantasy, but over time come to see him as a desperate, hollow…

One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…
