Lindsay Ellis does a great positive piece on Megan Fox in Transformers:

The protagonist is an adult, but she ends up teaching kids who in turn teach other kids, and so on.

Apparently Mad Max was the first time they actually agreed to pay her equal to her male costar.

In a just world yes. But I’m a gambling man and I would put my money on no.

Kevin Federline quietly becoming the most responsible and sane adult in the extended Spears family drama was certainly not something that I saw coming in the early 00s.

Predator is like Highlander where the concept is more beloved than any of the movies. The first of both were fun and pulpy but not exactly A-list and suggested a universe with so much more possibility than any follow up delivered.

The King of Queens may have had the schlubby husband/hot wife, but anyone who thinks it was a show about an awful husband and beleaguered wife clearly never saw it (which...lucky you). They were both awful people, and she gave every bit as good as she got.

Thanks for all the wormholes, Mike. Maybe the true wormhole was the friends you made along the way.

Gilead doesn’t not work because of “natural inclinations” (LOL) , it doesn’t work because they appear to have abandoned technological capitalism  entirely and replaced it with role play feudalism.

Don’t tell anyone, but a significant portion of sales (oh, let’s say 15 million/200 million) comes from parents taking the sign-up sheets to work, either with or without a child in tow, to let coworkers get a crack at buying the cookies without being accosted by strange children outside the grocery store. That didn’t…

I think declining membership could also be partially due to the burden on parents, mothers in particular, to try and get kids to various activities around their work schedule. 

have yet to find a comparable replacement for a thin mint anywhere.

Come on, Ruffalo? Natasha Lyonne is right there.

It’s hard to get a screen shot, but in the “everything you ever said” office with the cat, the guy’s retro orange monitor has a Solitaire game.

Thousands of students will still study under Nikole Hannah-Jones and Dr. Jones, just not at UNC-Chapel Hill. 

Doctor of Chemistry? Not a big deal. Now, if a couple of hot basketball prospects did that...

I think it’s that whole “Aryan men can do anything” spiel.

Time to bring out that special gif I save exclusively for Matt Gaetz:
