I mean, I really don’t understand why they’re not discussed more in those pregnancy classes. I certainly wish I’d been more prepared for them.

You know, fear of releasing demonic milk ducks via the hatching of my poison eggs is the main reason I remain childless. Glad to know there’s someone out there who gets it.

I remember those days, when my wife would get clogged milk ducks.  I’d make some hot compresses, and I’d have to chase the little bastards around the living room, finally pinning them down and trying to hold the warm wash cloths and hot water bottles onto the squirmy, squishy little guys. Then after a few minutes, my…

Every single bit of demographic research into wrestling fans says otherwise.

I think it's hilarious that wrestling fans are undoubtedly 95% MAGA chud, and deadspin spends so much time covering it. 

Came here to say this. All WWE (and for that matter, all other spectator sports) events are set up for a quality TV viewing experience. They will happily shine lights in the faces of the live crowd or obstruct their view to make the presentation on TV better every time.

Beyond them, there has been a distinct and striking paleness to the WWE title

I don’t know, an outspoken leftist immediately siding with the authority he’s been bashing so that he doesn’t have to be challenged by a black guy?

I am assuming the first instance of this being the horrible squashing of Booker T by HHH? I completely agree with you

It is weird that Bryan essentially had to mute his character for Kofi. Because the ways that he could hook into a feud with Kofi - the crass selling of trinkets at the expense of the environment probably being the best idea- would just be kind of a distraction from what Kofi’s main arc is. Also something of a repeat…

1. Really really good 2.if Kofi doesn’t win on Sunday I’m done. I’m not letting them do “people like YOU don’t win titles” twice in my lifetime with the POC challenger losing

Counterpoint; Tracy Morgan peaked with Brian Fellows (“That bird stole my credit card!”), but Fallon’s impersonation of Neil Young performing “Pants on the Ground” was likely the most sublimely awesome act of the young millenium.

It’s a good article, but as someone that doesn’t have a lot of affection for TOS, I’ve never liked the “swashbuckling” aspects of Kirk, or the series in general. If TOS was intended to be “Wagon Train To The Stars”, it took a lot of baggage with it from the Western genre from which it was borrowing. Part of that are…

Yeah. Any apparent political stability at the end of the series is sure to be temporary. That’s just human history. There’s always some form of political struggle happening, and it will continue long after the inevitable proletarian uprising that abolishes the monarchy and turns the iron throne into scrap metal for…

that's a good point. by it's nature a story gives plot armor to the characters who are essential to the plot, so the real gift is in hiding who the essential characters are.

After establishing that no one is safe by slicing off Ned Stark’s head with a single stroke of the executioner’s broadsword,

I always felt bad for Mirri. It’s not her fault Drogo’s wound got infected—his pride got in the way and he didn’t follow her medical instructions. (Also if Dany had just let him take care of it the way the Dothraki always take care of their wounds—by cauterizing it—it wouldn’t have become infected either, but she…

One super fascinating part of this story is that it is, in many senses, just the epilogue to another story which we only hear about in snippets. A massive portion of Game of Thrones is simply the fallout of Robert’s Rebellion.

In the book her hair gets burned off too, but I can respect the showrunners’ decision to invoke a variant of the Incredible Hulk Pants Rule.

That blood magic would later resurrect Drago as Aquaman.
