The world has not been this close to a full-scale war with multinational involvement of nuclear powers since the height of the Cold War. For better or worse, that was not the case with Afghanistan or Iraq or Somalia or the Balkans, etc.

Jesus Jezebel’s coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been dreadful. I hardly know where to start.

I wondered about the cabinet scene too. But Mr. Notorious pointed out to me the pillows they spilled out of it along with her.

OMG....the port-o-potty birth...that poor kid is going to be traumatized for life, lol.

I feel comfortable coming out and saying that I too was cast as Jerry Buss. I only found out I was fired when I showed up to set and literally no one had ever heard of me and everyone yelled at me to leave or they would call security.

Disagree with all but Enterprise.

I agree tremendously. The term is literally “role” playing game. It surmises that any game that has you assume a “role” can ultimately fall into this category, which I’m certain plenty can and should disagree with me on. However a good counter-argument would be RPGs now have an absurd potential of sub-categories,…

I just want a fucking Neuromancer movie already.

Bill Murray’s insult to him backstage at SNL (which gave me my screenname) may be the most insightful thing that’s ever been said about him. He’s done some great stuff, no doubt, but his entire career has been a repeating theme of coasting on his initial SNL fame, followed by one hit, then coasting on that for a…

I’m really hoping that the traditional superhero outfit is just something they’re showcasing for the trailers and the bespoke suit is the final iteration of Moon Knight’s look for the MCU. I love the Moench/Sienkiewicz run, but the Ellis/Shalvey revival is one of my favorite mainstream comics of all time, and captures…

The script was bad though. The alien hybrid idea is just plain stupid.

He looked like a total badass. The control of his weapon points to adequate training. Glad he’s armed and spraying our highways for justice.

It’s funny how often the “every game should be for everyone” apostles fail to see the flaw in their reasoning when they instantly make an amalgamation between a community and its toxic vocal minority.

I still agree with Jessica Valenti that Ansari’s story is probably the most important of the Me Too era. Because I don’t think he’s a bad person, and I don’t think that should be the takeaway from what happened. I think this is the one case where the main thing, the most important thing, is how what happened is…

I know, I know, it’s serious.

No, he comes back as SF author M. John Harrison and tells them that worldbuilding is the great clomping foot of nerdism.

I don’t think this rumor holds much water, but had to drop in and call you remiss for not referencing the absolute tear jerker/glee inducer that was Tom Baker’s return in the 50th anniversary “in years to come you might find yourself revisiting a few, but just the old favorites”

I’ve said before these SNL reviews are one of the first things I read on Sunday mornings, often before I’ve watched the episode. I’ve been worried they weren’t long for this world since word came out last December of what G / O was pulling...so this week’s news was expected but no less disappointing. I’m glad at least…

To be fair, Marc’s not English, he’s a New Yorker. Only one of his personalities is English.
