“Why Grandma, What a Great Big Fever You’re Running!”

Edit: Eh, you know what. Perhaps not cool. Could have been read as critical and mean-spirited, which was not intended. Post therefore deleted.

Wow, you really know your minors in the White House!

That’s a hard question. Fassbender has undeniably benefited from the better scripts; First Class’ greatest strength was that it absolutely nailed Magneto’s core of righteous anger, but also nailed how Magneto draws strength from his heritage and religion. It was the only script where Magneto contained multitudes,…

No politician gives a shit whether you cast a vote with a smile or a frown on your face. If your vote can be taken for granted, your policy preferences can be safely ignored when it comes time to govern. That’s all that matters.

Offhand, I’d say this looks pretty non-compliant, too.

Yeah, I’m firmly in “those toilets aren’t going to scrub themselves” mode. Life rarely gives you perfect options, but if you have to pick between unpalatable options, Biden is far, far, far less unpalatable than Donald Trump is. We’re very soon going to be receiving 3,000 daily reminders that the most important asset…

I’m going to keep asking this, because it remains worth asking: what the fuck is a “Judeo-Christian”?

“Those folks are going to have to be even more careful than the rest of the population,” he added. “I don’t know what the choice is.”

It’s an old joke, but still true: Rocky IV is almost like an art film, in that it represents a serious attempt to determine how much of a film you can turn into a montage while keeping a coherent narrative together. I’m pretty sure that you could cut the story itself down to a tight 15 minutes if you cut out all the…

One of the best things about the character of Doc Brown is how, as much as he is a “scientist”, he’s clearly influenced primarily by the Golden Age science fiction of the period, which manifested in a firm conviction that 1985 was a post-apocalyptic hellscape.

Agreed in full. There was no one moment where things definitively changed for big-budget action spectacles (though I’d peg the Rubicon as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which grossed ~$400 million domestic on the strength of about 1/4 of a script thanks to the Writer’s Guild Strike and 3/4 Michael Bay’s…

Yeah, Michael Harriot is not wrong: this doesn’t look like a debate or protest. It looks like an abortive coup. And speaking as someone who is reflexively against rule-by-juntas, the very idea that this would happen in America offends me to my core.

Let’s recall, again, how peaceful protestors are treated when the target of the protests is, ya know, tuition increases that might push them out of school or drive them into perpetual debt?

Almost. It’s actually that all things as awesome as genetically-engineered dinosaurs share the trait of spontaneously transforming from male to female in a single-sex environment.

And the worst part is, none of this is even necessary.

Hanged. Mike Pence is not a tapestry.

I mean, the case in which the Supreme Court said that the government could restrict conduct if the conduct was prohibited for reasons unrelated to overt religious discrimination was literally the first Supreme Court case to address the free exercise clause.

*Sigh* Okay, once more for the Karen Contagions in the back . . .

Q: “So Belinda, how did you make heaven a place on earth?”
