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…

I still use my 64GB Zune on a regular basis.

i am a real journalist: this is an op-ed.

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…

Here’s an idea...BE A PARENT AND BE AWARE OF WHAT YOUR CHILDREN ARE READING. Other than that be an adult at take responsibility for your own choices. No long before Shakespeare is illegal at this point. 

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 home the whole Borg nanites angle is a fake out, and it turns out all of Jack’s weird powers are actually the result of Beverley banging that freaky Victorian sex ghost.

Brent Spiner deserves a lot of praise here. He basically did a one man show when he was in the Data Dream realm during the Data Lore scenes. They brought Spot back! He is a good cat! I’m glad they didn’t ‘kill’ Lore it would have found profoundly un-Trek. It’s nice that after the misfire of the Emotion Chip scenes in…

I loved this episode, honestly! My only disappointment was that we still haven’t learned what’s up with Jack, though Vadic saying Seven would be “particularly” interested in seeing what Jack can do definitely makes me think it’s Borg-related.

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

Parks & Rec - um, that looks more like Living Precious Moments Nurse Ann than Bisexual Goth Queen Anastasia Beaverhausen Snakehole. I’d also prefer Garry over nyQuill. and not just because Gerry is literally built to resemble these type of figurines. (also, NOT paying $18 for a 3" 4-5poa overpriced “Collectible”!)

It’s wild to thing that 4chan only exists because the dumbest Goons on Something Awful forums kept getting kicked off the site

If he ends up sharing a cell with Ezra Miller would that count as a DC/Marvel crossover?   

“At the end of the day, we’re responding to what society wants.”

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

I follow a couple of writers for Rick & Morty on Twitter, and their reactions to this morning’s THR article are basically:

It’s called plot, technically there is a “twist” in any engaging story.

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. 

I thought it was Vitamin C!

I thought Shania Twain but still had to read the article to confirm. It was the third photo (of her laughing with her mouth open) that was the giveaway.
