I’ve been living in a Nordic country for almost a year, and it’s wild how differently this story hits now compared to coming of age and working as an adult in the US.

Warren Municipal Court Judge Terry Ivanchak ruled to move forward with the case against Watts, shrugging off the matter of “the exact legal status of this fetus/corpse/body/birthing tissue/whatever it is.”

Seems like Christmas lawsuits are coming out earlier and earlier every year.

Niecy Nash did a better Jessica Rabbit than Mariah.

Megan isn’t just any gremlin, she’s Greta the lady gremlin who drank the female hormone flask from the genetics lab. She is, canonically, the only gremlin to survive the second film.

no one is more embarrassed than i but i think Batman Forever is the inspiration of the jenners sugar and spice outfit, if there was any confusion

The first season was fun because each episode, for the most part, was self-contained. They didn’t have to figure out how to write political elements or serialized stories because that’s just what the show (and the early short stories the first season was based off of) was at the time. And it’s a lot easier for bad…

The writing was never great. The show was almost great in spite of the bad writing, and in spite of the very confusing (for those unfamiliar with the lore) first season time-jumps. That a show could be promising despite major flaws in plot direction and writing demonstrates that there was definitely some magic there,…

Fancy boy does not want to give up on the perks of being a candidate, which he will not be for too much longer.

Even though he once seemed to be Trump’s only possible rival for the nomination, the schadenfreude of watching his “campaign” implode has been delicious.

It’s almost as if he’s running a shitty campaign on purpose so he can be the Florida meth trailer park version of the Kennedys.

Paul Wesley’s Kirk is growing on me. He’ll never be Shatner, but he does an good take on the character, that it’s own thing and not a Shatner or a Chris Pine impression. I quite liked the exploration of Jim and Sam’s sibling relationship. As someone who has had a testy sibling relationship I get it. It’s kind of funny…

I AM ABOLUSTELY GIDDY about next week’s episode.

Superhero stories in general have a perhaps unresolvable thematic conflict with the police. There’s no real way to remove the subject of vigilantism from the equation. Regardless of whether a police force is portrayed as purely good or almost entirely corrupt, the message is that they’re unable to handle the level of…

Gun ownership and how guns are treated here is rock-bottom THE issue, of course, but I also point out just how much social media has contributed to the significant fearmongering and straight-up misinformation about “rampant crime” everywhere.

I live in the bay area and people speak about it like we’re barely holding…

I think there are a lot of deeply held stereotypes attributing to this, from teaching being “women’s work” early on to the general concept of the “club.” Traditionally the club was a female activity. Men would get home from work and have a beer or head to the bar while women got together in knitting circles. The same…

“[I]magine if today’s news was not about Justice Thomas and Harlan Crow but about, say, Justice Sotomayor and a major Democratic donor.”

> The shade was pretty obvious,

Then it ain’t shade. Bring back shade court and the Honorable Judge Kara Brown.

I am a tabloid junkie, but I recognized her after looking at the picture on the right for 5 seconds. Just google image search “Shania Twain mouth open” and you’ll see why anyone who grew up watching her sing on TV would recognize that particular face.
