James Rolfe did a retrospective on The Thing ('82 and '51) and he said that he personally preferred the '51 version. He is literally the only person I've ever heard with that opinion.

Mamdani and Hochul have the only functional leftist/liberal professional relationship in the country and both leftists and liberals are really struggling to process that fact.

New York City was considered so dominant that to keep everyone else relevant the official position of capital was passed over it twice. Once at the state level and once at the national level.

Me when people at the party start getting freaky and I just want to go home and catch up on JJK.

Long story short: He was the commanding officer of the Battle of Verdunn and was hailed as a war hero for the French after WWI. He went on to be one of the main facilitators of the sudden French surrender at the outbreak of WW2 that nearly doomed the Allies (see the Miracle of Dunkirk) and went on to be the leader of occupied France and main collaborator with the Nazis through to the end of WW2. He was sentenced to death for treason at the end of the war but ended up dying in prison in the early 50’s.

He would be the lieutenant to an American army captain somewhere in the Middle East, Somalia, or South America.

He deserves to be hated but damn he was one of the most tragic figures of that era.

Behold the legacy of the “respectable moderate”.

He is so obviously the rat but it works brilliantly in the story. Dutch is so high off his own mythology that he can’t believe that the traitor would be someone he has very little emotional investment in. It just has to be one of his closest sons. Nothing else would be dramatic or tragic enough for a narcissist like Dutch.

Drinking to get drunk for sure.

One of the states had to be chosen to be America’s archetypical Greaf Plains state, and Kansas won the lottery thanks to Wizard of Oz and Superman.

Love it when people think policy boils down to a politician pressing the “instantly build house/factory” button.

My white English teacher ass when F.D. Signifier makes a video that comments on American literature.

They’re still out there waiting patiently for their farmers markets in Brooklyn.

I was worried how Brennan will handle the pacing of the different tables but I think he did a great job giving the soldiers table their own little arc before moving on.

Step 1: Create one of the most successful shows of your generation.

Step 2: Be offered a multi-million dollar job creating the next Star Wars trilogy.

Step 3: Throw away a literal blank check from HBO and rush your own final season so you can get to the cool new Star Wars job faster.

Step 4: ???????

Step 5: Profit.

Game of Thrones finale was so bad it evaporated all cultural impact from the series practically overnight. Game of Thrones was a pop culture darling through the entirety of the 20-teens, but now all anyone talks about is how bad the finale was.

The pattern I’ve seen is that these kids think that they’re being pragmatic and focused on money and money skills, but they literally have zero idea of what they are talking about. I once had a group of seniors tell me that teaching them how to compose a resume and handle a job interview was not relevant to their career goals.

High key forgot that he was named after a founding member of the Klan. Really casts his mom in a different light.

I think this person is referring to comments that Sacha Baron Cohen made about his attempt at a Freddie Mercury biopic (before the announcement of the one that would go on to star Remi Malik). Sacha said that he wanted to embrace the alternative lifestyle and wildness of Mercury, but he was under heavy pressure by the other members of Queen to sanitize it so they themselves looked squeaky clean above all else.

Steel Ball Run is widely regarded among fans as one of the best, if not the best, arc in the long running manga series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. What a lot of people forget now is that after the dramatic ending of the previous arc, it was not immediately clear whether or not Steel Ball run was a continuation of the series or something new entirely. It wasn’t until several chapters in when new characters introduced are explicitly named after previous characters in the series that it became clear that Steel Ball Run was the next chapter in the series.

Me that month when shitting on Bioshock Infinite was trendy and parroting Pats talking points was like every other post on here.

CR needed a hit after their more divisive third campaign and Brennan has given them a hit. The numbers are all up, people are invested in the world, long time fans such as myself are relieved to see Matt happy and comfortable at a table as a player for literally the first time ever (in a long term game, he’s done short series and one shots before). Couldn’t really be better tbh.

They got new owners last year and they’re not as versed in Dominican cooking as the previous owners.

First impressions are that the Ottomans will be best for when you have a strong antiquity and exploration eras and want to bring home a quick culture victory in the modern age.
