It’s weird to me that they’re their own sort of celebrity now. I wonder if they’re contractually obligated to, ehh, engage with all of it (conventions, social media, press statements, etc.) or if they could just choose to be regular humans if they wanted to.

It looks like you’re trying out “no cap” and I’d like to let you know it’s not working

oh my god —> oh my God

There’s no need to be gross

mid-way through —> midway through

Why do these showrunner types always look like they just ate a baby?

That decision was brave, bold and stupid.

I took it as a sign that the whole thing was tacky. I don’t care what world it’s in; any human-like civilization would definitely develop zippers (let alone the combustion engine, microcircuitry, etc.) before they developed fucking GENETIC ENGINEERING

It seems to me that you can remain consistent (i.e. “correct”) if you A) use the Oxford comma all the time, B) never use the Oxford comma (which is madness, but I wouldn’t count it as an actual error), or C) use it only when needed per AP style.

What you should do with Cohen is take his shitty songs and make them good, like Greg Dulli did with “Paper Thin Hotel”

It’s so so obvious that it’s what they were going to do if Hillary won, but since she lost they just told her to do it “sad”

If “Pi (1998), Requiem For A Dream (2000) and Black Swan (2010)” and “Fred Willard, Randall “Tex” Cobb and Reb Scott” don’t have one, “John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Samuel L. Jackson” shouldn’t have one either (or they should all have one)

Yeah, I think you’re right. Sometimes I get a little carried away toward the end of it

Sure, but in light of how lazy the rest of it is I can’t help but include them. There’s no way this dude actually consciously decides where and how to use punctuation.

god forbid —> God forbid

There’s the boys soccer team and coach trapped in a flooded cave system after a routine exploration—on the other end of a complex series of tunnels through bedrock, there’s the elite rescue team of divers dedicated to bringing them home. —> not what an em dash is for
