Thank you for posting this. Until today I had -- no kidding -- a lurking dread that maybe there was some sort of above-my-head genius financial figuring going on. I'm not a math guy or a money guy so despite all the evidence, books, and journalism… [more]

I've been curious about this since I opened it on Shudder and saw a long run of one-star reviews by people that come across as MAGA goofballs calling it "woke" and "communist". Since everything they hate is good, I'm assuming this… [more]

Watched it in tandem with my wife while housesitting/dogsitting. It was kind of fun, but felt weirdly inert, like it was a well-filled-in paint-by-numbers picture... it checks the boxes but there isn't much there there. I mean, what I think is the… [more]

The Paul graphic novels are great. I like Ostie d'Chat even more (that's an archive, this is a collection), but I don't think they've ever been translated, and are very, uh, blue in their frank depiction of the sex lives of twenty-something… [more]

Oh, and Dan Stevens' line delivery on "those are fucking onions" is a thing of beauty. A whole masterclass in how 99% of people would have loaded all the emphasis on onions and he made a meal of it by just shifting that… [more]

Really enjoyed it, and appreciate your comment, DoT, because I didn't know it was the Ready or Not people. It makes a lot of sense in retrospect: functional, witty, gets you in and out without too much dithering, does what it says on the tin… [more]

Yeah, a huge part of the charm for me with OG Roadhouse was that it's clearly set in an alternate reality where bouncers are celebrities; I feel like we're always one zoom-out away from seeing that elections are decided with moped races, distance… [more]

Some time ago, I was in a similar (but not as extremely bad) situation, and started applying to jobs hard. Not firing off resumés willy-nilly, but really looking for jobs I wanted to do, researching the companies, carefully tailoring cover… [more]

I've only played the iOS game Fallout Shelter (and see a bit of resonance... radroaches, stimpacks... but not nearly as much as players of the 'big' games are getting). I tried Fallout... 15 years ago?... and wound up playing Wasteland in an emulator… [more]

So, this person is the Canadian Ron Desantis? Yes, but also a coward. Ron Desantis will at least flat out say what he thinks. PP scurries around telling his supporters one thing and publicly saying other things. [more]

There have been two times in my life when I have read somebody's writing and it's converted me from being "on their side" in terms of thinking they were beleaguered or facing outsized criticism for their actions, to thinking they were… [more]

So I've been leaning into this since I posted it, joining Lil Jon every morning for 10 minutes. Not all topics relate to me, but I'm working through them regardless as I think there's some value even in the ones that don't resonate absolutely… [more]

I've recently become the ED of the Chess Institute of Canada, and it's been tremendously exciting to see this shaping up (although it's only been a few weeks for me, so effectively too late to get meaningfully involved). Lots of our instructors… [more]

Another person in the camp of "wanted to like this so bad, and felt let down by how dunderheaded everyone was." I mean: 1. Local people deliver boxes and make a to-do about how they need to GTFO before sundown 2. Another local… [more]

And let's not forget that Tony Isabella had a canonical Jesus Christ for Ghost Rider to be friends and crime-fighting companions with, until Marvel EiC Jim Shooter got cold feet and made "A Friend" an illusion created by Mephisto. [more]

I bought on sale and really enjoy The Conquest of Go, which doesn't mess with the game itself but nests boards of increasing size and opponents of increasing difficulty in an overall "conquer the land" meta-game. I don't get… [more]

This is amazing! The Internet being the Internet, has anyone built a reliable index for all similar museum-makes-things-public-domain initiatives? I know I've seen several (I've posted one or two!) and it'd be great to have a place to hop around… [more]

I am not a lawyer, not your lawyer, and not based in the U.S. but my first instinct would be to start with a realtor you know and trust in your area and ask them that question. Failing that, I'd guess you'd want to ask a real estate lawyer, who might… [more]

Years ago I picked up a copy of Mr. B Gone in a little free library. The book starts with the narrator running through a litany of "if you X, don't read this book!" that was so try-hard and Hot Topic in its 'edginess' that… [more]

Well, maybe I'm a big ol' dummy but I really liked the entire season; second favourite of the series after 1. Maybe a bit more than 1? I found it had more interesting characters and character development at the centre than 1, which did feature a lot… [more]

Can we agree that Lamb and River are for all intents and purposes Rick & Morty? Old, boozy, food-stained know-it-all with plot armour and the ability to get out of anything; wide-eyed naïf blundering into perpetual danger. [more]

Not to abuse the edit window, also spent some time afterwards trying to track down Dylan Dog comics -- not easy in the very early Internet days -- and ultimately either failed, or have completely forgotten reading them. I bet it's a lot… [more]

We watched it at home, then realized it needed to be seen on the big screen, so caught it at a local indie cinema that does some rep screenings along with arthouse films. It really, really supports a second viewing -- every scene had… [more]

I saw it original run in Toronto and would not shut up about it, to the point that my friends were getting kind of annoyed. I haven't watched since because I'm afraid it won't hold up. Based on the above, I might give it another whirl! [more]

But then I realized that the joke must be that it sucked. But it actually sucked the first time. Only now the singers are making funny faces so you know they know it sucks. Okay. I think you can be a bit more generous to the people who… [more]
