What I didn’t understand is why Brooke would even know that Mr. Jingles moved to Alaska and had a kid, let alone feel responsible for helping him. Heck, would she even know about all the ghosts? The only one she encountered was Leon, I think. Maybe she found out later? Did the murdered National Enquirer reporter…

I really need to watch Asylum - it’s the only season I haven’t seen, and everyone seems to think it’s the best. Apocalypse and Freak Show are definitely the worst ones. I love Hotel - even though it’s a mess plotwise (most AHS seasons are) it’s just so stylish that it wins out. Roanoke is great, and I have a soft spot…

God bless the author for working so hard to present the jello-as-revenge theory, which was clearly a joke from the beginning, seriously.

Good.  Elections should only be influenced by radio and tv advertising, as the founding fathers intended.

How so? ‘Muddies the waters’ how? I’m not being trite. I genuinely don’t understand what changes from the victims’ perspective if Epstein’s death was a murder v. a suicide. Do the victims get less sympathy and/or attention if it’s a murder? If anything, wouldn’t a murder case help the victims by leading to…

If the Hearthstone subreddit is any indication, there won’t be much in the way of protests. On that board, the outrage was white-hot for about a week, stayed warm for another week, and is now all but gone. I’m sure there will be a couple small protests outside the event and a handful of Q&A moments where it’s brought…

I will never understand why anyone would give 2.5 shits about anything that happens in a Twitch chat stream. So they spam Free Hong Kong (and they will) instead of spamming some other nonsense. Who cares?

b-b-b-but they have lyrics about hookers!

The stunning rise of King Crimson among the youths is the only good thing that has happened in the late 2010's

Injuries have killed the Eagles’ season - their two biggest acquisition, Malik Jackson and Desean Jackson, have played in a total of one game each, and one of the starting DT spots is now down to the FOURTH guy,less than halfway through the season.

When I was a kid my grandparents took me to the mall to see Purple Panda from Mr. Rogers.  It was many, MANY years before it even occurred to me that it probably wasn’t the same person who played Purple Panda on the show.

Why are we so eager for everyone to drop out as soon as possible? Who cares? The primaries are still months away - don’t worry, they’ll start dropping like flies once actual votes start getting cast. I’ve never understood the urge to make the field as small as possible - or the idea that dropping out and ‘backing…

Wait, is that Artur Samarin? Who attended high school in Harrisburg, PA?  That was a huge local story a couple of years ago.  https://www.cnn.com/2016/02/29/americas/pennsylvania-high-school-imposter-interview/index.html

Brandon Graham’s relentless clowning of Derek Gunn is the best reason to watch local Philly sports television.  Possibly the only reason, other than the “Jeff Garcia is our baby” guy.

When I was 12 or 13, Mannequin was one of the tiny handful of movies we had on VHS and I watched it I don’t even know how many times.  I had seen almost no movies before that point, so Mannequin might as well have been Citizen Kane for all I knew.  Glad to see the movie can even have that effect on adults in the…

Almost - it was the Boscov’s at the Camp Hill Mall that served as the interior for the rival, “evil” department store. This is appropriate, because anyone who’s ever walked into a Boscov’s knows it’s like walking through a time portal to 1986.

Milky Way is the clear choice to go, BUT Milky Ways make an AWESOME frozen candy bar.  Source: community pool snack bar when I was in 8th grade

I’m reading the Gladwell book and enjoying it for the most part, but yes, the Penn State chapter is not convincing, to say the least.  And I couldn’t BELIEVE he cites Ziegler, 

This has always been my take on the situation. JoePa knew what Sandusky was up to and believed he could just... tell him to stop. The description of how Paterno reacted when McQueary told him felt like someone thinking “Oh god... this shit again”.

Wasn’t the infamous ‘Hot Coffee’ GTA San Andreas controversy based on something that wasn’t part of the actual playable game? They ended up getting sued and having their rating changed and all kinds of nonsense over something that they had already decided to cut from the game.
