That episode would have hurt slightly less if AS didn’t have FOUR goddamn marathons of the show.

What I was specifically referring to with ‘good faith’ was the people who are simply starting the ‘argument’ simply to get others started and do the rest of the work. They’re the people who are only doing it to cause trouble and not for an actual cause. With the left, it’s usually either whenever someone gets an…

There are definitely people who simply focus on causing conflict in Social Media. You can usually trace nonsense issues back to people who aren’t arguing in good faith but managed to get people who usually are, riled up. It’s Trolling 101 and a large part of the ‘Cancel Culture’ concept. If the left/progressives are…

I really like where this is going. The performative Spotify exodus. People realizing that Joe Rogan has opened his stupid mouth a LOT over the years and now it's gonna bite him. All of it.

Well, Awkwafina isnt actively “doing” anything, she is just talking how she has learned to talk over the course of her life. She isnt imitating anything, thats...just how she talks. She is just a new target for people to be angry at.

I love Trevor Noah and yet even I sometimes wonder how is he not facing any questions about impersonating/imitating different accents from different cultures not his own. Is it because he’s not American, or not a woman, or both? Or is it because he does it from a good place and with love for the cultures he’s…

First Akwafine thought, first time I heard her talk (Crazy Rich Asians) I thought she was doing a Miley Cyrus impersonation so that’s my take on her voice.

It is better to combat misinformation with better information
and
It is a good idea to not host misinformation.

Yeah, people who glom onto conspiracy bullshit are generally just waiting for hard science to pierce the veil.

I understand the artistic impulse to keep tweaking. The problem is, as almost any artist will tell you, part of the process is getting to point where the work is done, presented, and you live with it. That doesn’t mean you don’t revisit it, critique it, want to test other choices you could have made, but you do that…

And this is what you get in a society that fetishizes guns.

I used to be all about flipping people off if they tailgated me or cut me off, etc. Now I just let things roll because in the last 30-ish years since I got my license road rage has gone from getting the bird back at you to this kind of shit. Ain’t worth it. Let the other idiot think they win - at least you can walk…

This is the society you get when you treat firearm ownership as an inalienable right, rather than a privilege with responsibilities.

I think the grey area here is we’re dealing with historical fiction.  True, the main characters are fictional, but they occupy a world where real chess players exist like Capablanca and Morphy and Gaprindashvilli, so it does beg the question of where that line is when real people are invoked, and what the damage is by…

“This is so everybody looks over here... don’t look at inflation.”

So apparently the secret to making a good episode of a television show is to make it an episode of a different television show.

I’ve probably seen a Christmas Story every year of my life but it wasn’t until this past Christmas, when I happened to be watching with subtitles on, that I realized the character’s name is “Scut” and not “Scott.”

agreed. Jackie was one of the few things keeping those girls from losing their humanity. Her death is going to have some major ramifications for the group.

Exactly. I think the seeming disparity between young and older Nat works precisely because Nat has had 25 years of hard, hard living, which takes a toll on you in every possible way. I must tread carefully because I don’t want to comment on Juliette Lewis’s looks, but the character she plays looks weathered and beaten…
