An itemized list of his Micro Machines collection.

It was awesome to see The Hand. It's great to see them doing a good job bringing in the more mystical aspects of the Marvel Universe that they need to have in place to introduce Iron Fist… but…
I'm finding it a little eye-rolling that between Jessica Jones, and especially this season of Daredevil, the Marvel Netflix…

I'm saying this as an outsider (I'm Canadian), but I think one huge problem with the US justice system is having jobs in the court system (like judges), and at the top of law enforcement (sheriffs) being *elected* positions.
It creates a situation where decisions are being driven by "what will get me re-elected"…

Yeah, I feel the same about Brendan's part of the story. I've got no clue whether or not Avery is guilty (although, I find it really fucking horrible that some people seem to think that his possible guilt in the Halbach murder somehow makes his wrongful imprisonment for the earlier case acceptable), but it seems…

Another piece of 'damning evidence' that was apparently left out of the documentary, and that Kratz thinks we need to know is: They discovered that Avery was in possession of pornography.

Hey now, when you're a Manitowoc County Officer you understand that when someone says that you're removed from actively investigating a case what they really mean is "you're the only one who can solve the case, and by the way, can you make sure the perfect evidence happens to appear where you're searching?"

The problem is that you're thinking of time as linear, when it's actually a flat circle.

Yeah… kind of odd that they could find DNA from a trace amount of Avery's sweat on the Rav4 hood latch, but couldn't find any of Halbach's DNA on the bed, or in the room where she was repeatedly raped and had her throat cut?

This isn't specifically about the Avery case, but as an outside observer one thing that's always stuck out as completely fucked up and idiotic about how things are done in America is having sheriffs, judges and D.A.'s as elected positions. I'm not sure if that's nationwide, or varies by state, but either way… jesus.
Th…

It's a damn fine album. Personally, I prefer it to any of Modest Mouse's output other than Lonesome Crowded West.

Looks like someone who'd have their name on a sex-offender registry

Oh, but Law & Order: Ice-T Investigates a Rape has been getting a pass for how long now?
I don't particularly *want* to see depictions of sexual assault in my entertainment, but if the writers/producers/directors are going to go down that road I find the sanitized depictions on network television or in more mainstream,…

I think social media has played the largest role. As you said, there are many people competing for attention, and what's going to get more attention: someone saying "I'm not sure how I feel about this thing. Let's put the work into having a thoughtful and respectful discussion to try and reach a better understanding…

Yeah, I'm on the same page -for the most part (not sure if you're specifically singling out Islam as a 'death cult' - I'd extend that to all religions, especially Abrahamic ones. The Islamic fundamentalist lunatics just have much more influence in their countries than Evangelicals have in America, but make no mistake,…

Yeah, I'm a big fan of both Fey and Poehler, but god damn, Sisters looks like they gender-flipped a rejected Adam Sandler script.

I don't mind if something has overly on-the-nose and obvious observations if they're being used to set up humor. Transmet is one of my longest standing 'favorite series', and I don't think any of its commentary is particularly insightful, but it feels like it's working in service to the characters. Or at least it's…

I'm enjoying Bitch Planet - although, primarily for the art, coloring, and grindhouse side of the story.
Completely agree about it not being as clever or important as DeConnick seems to think. But then, I think just about any time a writer -especially in comics, but I'd include long-form prose and screenwriting- tries…

Ha! Yes, because the Democrats are specifically trying to help ISIS enter the country. Hey, remember back in the 30's/40's when America turned away Jewish refugees because 'there could be German enemies mixed in with them' or put Japanese American citizens in internment camps because "we never know, any of them could…

I enjoy what Colbert has been doing on the Late Show. But he's presenting MacArthur Genius Grant winning tap-dancers, prima ballerinas, orchestras that just play music from Zelda games, and people in business/science/politics to a culture that would rather hear about what the Kardashian's have been up to.
It's…

Why should we be acknowledging viewpoints that are usually hilariously, and potentially disastrously, wrongheaded and ignorant?
Continental border walls? Taxation based on Christian tithing? Rejection of science? Pyramids-as-grain-silos?
How about we acknowledge the Right's viewpoint when their viewpoint stops being the…
