Yeah, the reason why Mayor Vaughn from Jaws feels so real right now, in no small part, is because Mayor Vaughn pretty accurately reflects how local governments work in practice. They’re there to keep things on an even keel, not create crises, and just generally smooth things over for the major businesses in the area.…
I was about to suggest Love, Actually, but a consultation with IMDB, meant to confirm my suspicions, revealed only that Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Liam Neeson, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Alan Rickman have only won the Oscars of my heart. As actual Oscar winners go, it’s only has Emma Thompson and Keira Knightley.
Yeah, I’m fairly certain it was grandfathered in, and helped along by the fact that it was 1) basically “can we cast someone from the then-contemporary Justice League Unlimited cartoon?”, 2) the fact that Justice League Unlimited is pretty impeccably voice-casted, and 3) the fact that the entire thing about voice…
It’s at an intersection of Wicker Man and “Rihanna’s Met Ball Costume” that, until this moment, I didn’t even know existed.
No, but there always seem to be carrots in there that have been softened under mysterious circumstances.
She’s “explaining” only in the sense that she’s accurately describing the pre-conditions whereby a movement conservative will accept a critique of movement conservative behavior. Namely, they will accept a critique only if you can first find a liberal who is doing something identical, or at least equally obnoxious.…
I feel that. Admittedly, the games I play now tend to be more violent than in the past, but by far the main reason why Civilization II held such immense replay value for me was the intensely satisfying feeling of constructing cities from the ground up, from small cities to sprawling metropolitan areas, and checking…
I’m glad you caught the reference.
Let me tell you about a few of the tactics of the current woke mob: They bomb your e-mail with what can only be called hate speech. They twist your words and actions. They make up things that you allegedly said and did that you never said or did. They target you and your family on social media. They bully…
It’s sobering to look back and see just how full of rot Hollywood has been, in light of recent information. Has Top Gun aged well? How could it have?
Yeah, David Benioff’s birth name is David Friedman. He uses his mother’s maiden name for his work partly because there already is an established author named David Friedman, but also because his father is Stephen Friedman. As in, “former head of Goldman Sachs” Stephen Friedman.
Yeah, this is a case where there’s a problem, and a even more significant problem. The problem is, of course, that dude, that shithead took an oath to protect and serve the public in a lawful manner. It’s hard to protect and serve people that you’re running over, and it’s hard to do so in a lawful manner when…
And when they ... because as soon as I said this is private property, those words enraged the crowd. Horde, absolute horde came through the now smashed down gates coming right at the house. My house, my east patio was 40 feet from Portland Place Drive. And these people were right up in my face, scared to death. And…
Fantastic reporting. You did a great job demonstrating that police response to minority subgroups is directly related to said subgroup’s fealty to power. When otherwise gender-conforming, wealthy white people ask for something for which there is no zero-sum tradeoff, police and society as a whole are only too happy to…
SCOTUS doesn’t need political capital.
Offhand, I’m not sure that it would be a high priority. Not in the sense that it shouldn’t be. Or that such a law isn’t valuable in protecting an important right on behalf of women.
You’re not wrong. And I’d also add in: this was how society was in the 1990's and early 2000's. Yes, there was a spectrum, and yes, The Man Show branded itself as being further along that Bell Curve than, say, Late Night with Jay Leno.
I mean are these “blacks” real or part of one family?
