When you mentioned the dude behind Balan Wonderworld was arrested I kinda assumed it was for child porn. Still wouldn't be surprised.

I was now years old when I learned Great American Family was a thing. This has no impact on my viewing habits.

The only holiday movies I recognize are:
* The Patrick Stewart version of A Christmas Carol
* The Muppet version of A Christmas Carol
* Die Hard
* That Alvin and the Chipmunks one that my son watched 1,109,483…

The Bahamas, a region Billy cares so deeply about that he left more than 200 locals unpaid for months of work. I don’t know how anyone looks at that frat-boy douchebag face and believes a word this guy says.

“Its that these people have [...] the ice on hand.” I think it’s worth acknowledging that one of the more destructive aspects of social media and influencer culture is that it builds this myth that every night is a fancy-panty night

It’s not that ice molds are too expensive for the poors.

Chris Evan’s is my favorite Chris and he seems like an overall good and decent person. I’m a-ok with this. His love of his dog also scores him huge points with me.

My god could she be more basic?

I’m still flummoxed that she was supposed to pay restitution to his family. My memories of Contracts have pretty much gone since law school, thank god, but I’m pretty sure restitution is the value of something you’ve lost. In stabbing the sex trafficking rapist, surely she wasn’t really depriving anyone of anything?

A message to the public: If you see this fugitive, no you didn’t.

I’ve got mixed feelings; we had a taped-from-tv copy of this movie growing up, and “When Love is Gone” was the fast-forwarded part of that tape, one to rival “Cheer Up Charlie” from Willy Wonka.

The cut version is better! This song is bad! 

Now do Emmet Otter’s Jug Band Christmas with Kermit back and we’re good!

You do see people who come into the parks and just glow with the energy of children and some are awesome about it all! I remember I had an old man came up to me and hand me his watch, which was an old Mickey Mouse watch, and said “My Dad bought this for me when I was just a little kid at Disneyland. Can you tell me if…

Take it from a Floridian: Skip the parks and enjoy the state’s natural beauty instead. There are some INCREDIBLE springs, and the beaches are god-tier. Awesome food, too (shoutout to Aunt Catfish’s in Port Orange—you get a fresh, handmade cinnamon roll with every order, and they ROCK). I moved to Southern California…

Surprised that there was no link to that fantastic Defunct land video:

First thought was “Yeah, they then won’t have to provide health insurance since they would be under 30 hours” but damn, a 13-14 hour shift? You can see how some states are more protective of workers than others. CFL saw no cost difference in FL because OT doesn’t kick in until 40 hours are worked. In CA OT kicks in…

Screw Chick-fil-A, I want to work for this mythical company:

No exceptions, no restrictions abortion access is the only way. You don’t want doctors having to prepare a legal argument, hospitals seeking an injunction for every medical case. And no provider is going to roll the dice and hope she/he can convince some wacko AG later that the procedure was medically necessary. It is…

It’s extremely frustrating that serial predators are built up as some sort of unknowable deviant masterminds we can’t possibly crack when the reality is just: police really, really, really, really, really, really, really suck at their jobs. 

I was a little wary of the whole “anti-Irish discrimination” angle, but that was before I realized it’s based on the man’s actual/literal national origin (as opposed to a more attenuated Irish-American heritage sort of angle.) I mean, national origin *is* a protected class under Title VII.
