Good on Bobby for moving on to bigger and better things. Honestly, the show has a shelf life, and it’s probably close to reaching it (if it hasn’t surpassed it already). The “heroes” in the last couple of seasons felt very carefully focus-grouped and lacking in authenticity compared to the early seasons.

I knew exactly what you were talking about before I even looked at the picture. My grandma, god rest, used to give empty Charles’ Chips containers to people at Christmas. She was convinced they were these iconic collectors’ pieces. Hilarious. I don’t think I’ve thought about that tin can in years. Thanks for the hit…

Planter’s Cheez Balls are the ultimate nostalgic snack for me. They’re peak 80s. My grandma always had a tube of them on top of the refrigerator. And yes, you eat them until the container is empty. That is the way. 

I’m an English prof, and my grinch heart grew three sizes when I heard “We die with the dying.” 

This is me in basically any show with a premise of timetravel and multiple timelines. I tend not to enjoy them very much because there’s a point at which I think too much about it and my brain hurts. (It’s been more than a decade and I still don’t want to talk about Source Code). There’s a fine line for me, and if I…

Loki’s arc and Cap’s arc are sort of the pinnacle of MCU storytelling for me. And it’s not surprise that both characters had more growth and covered a larger span of time (or space, or both) than many of the other MCU characters. To me, those two characters were the strongest from that initial crop of MCU stories, so…

I can only imagine. I am heartened to see someone like Hildur Gudnadottir break through. She managed to parlay her TV work with Trapped and Chernobyl (whose score is a masterpiece) into bigger movies like Joker, Tar, and Women Talking. Her sound is so interesting. 

Can’t say that I blame him. I can’t say whether he’s eager for it to be over or not, but I can see wanting to move on after such a long time. Fourteen years is a long time to do anything, and in a creative field you almost always look for new challenges. He’s got “fuck you” money now, so I’ll be happy to see what…

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Hiddleston on Broadway in Pinter’s Betrayal in late 2019 (the last show I saw before covid shut the world down, but I digress). In a production that shone for so many reasons—the direction and staging were impeccable—Hiddleston stood out. On stage, he had a magnetic quality you…

I must have missed this when it was posted last year, but what the heck, I’ll reply now that it’s been reposted. This is also what always what baffles me. As a contestant, you know going in that the second round is 45 minutes. And still some people choose like, lasagna, or something that cannot be made in that amount…

If you have to go with Tostitos, their multi-grain scoops are way better than their plain tortilla chips. And don’t even think about their hint of lime anything. All you’ll taste is lime. So while the plain are bland and the hint of lime are aggressive, the multi-grain have a great balance of flavors with just the…

FWIW, California Olive Ranch’s 100% California Olive oil hasn’t jumped significantly in price, especially if you get the vacuum sealed 2 liter bag-in-a-box. I stockpile like another commenter recommended, so I can’t remember exactly what I paid the last time I ordered, but it was somewhere around $40. And now it’s…

Yep. Avoid Intuit at all costs. Something like 70% of taxpayers are eligible to file their federal taxes for free. Their best bet is to go to the IRS website in January and pick out one of the free file partners there and use their (actually) free program to prepare and file your taxes. Any of the IRS free options are…

Yep. The whole outfit is being stripped for parts. Selling off what they can before shutting down the rest. Sucks. 

To all of the Jezebel staffers, I’m so sorry. Your value has never been properly recognized by the bean counters who misunderstand media so completely. I have enjoyed reading your thoughts and getting to know all of you through your unique voices, even when we may have disagreed or approached an issue from a different…

I had the same reaction. Got ungreyed after years and years. Site shuts down. That tracks. 

Absolutely. If a Republican president is elected and we’ve got a Republican House and Senate, they’re sending a total or near-total (6 weeks, no exceptions) ban to president to sign. And if it’s Haley or someone else, it doesn’t matter. That Republican president will all of the sudden believe something like, “This…

My unsolicited endorsement for a knee/large muscle ice pack is the Pro Ice Wrap. This thing is the bee’s knees, the cat’s pajamas, the dog’s bollocks. Take your pick of the superlative. It is durable, it holds securely, and most importantly, it is the coldest ice pack I’ve ever used. Since it contains removable ice…

Yeah, we’re all pretty sorry about him. The real challenge now is getting the amazing Sherrod Brown re-elected next year. If anyone feels so inclined, send some financial support directly to his campaign. The funds will be well-spent, I guarantee. He’s the kind of person we should all want to have for a senator. A…
