Homophobes: “We can’t legalize gay marriage! The birth rate would collapse! If men could marry men, then what reasonable man would ever choose to marry a disgusting, weak, woman over a strong, virile, muscular, sweaty, musky, oily, maaaannnnnn…”
The rest of us: Dude. Bro. Dude.
I don’t care how you say it, I just want to know if it works, because I have been burned by these products before, Trebek!
a goofy mascot that keeps doing weird things.
Sounds like exactly what a king should be.
I knew I should have paid more attention during Tenet.

I’m a father, and I’d like to dress in leather for this event to show what a strong manly man I am. Do you have anything that says “daddy likes leather”?
My uncle was a small-herd fairy farmer my entire life. Never had more than a couple dozen cows at a time, always knew all of them by name. He kept on getting squeezed out by larger and larger operations. He eventually went grass-fed organic to try and stay competitive. Then he told me that the large operations have organic mini-farms that they operate. The cows there are kept organic… but only so long as they remain in perfect health. The instant one gets sick, she gets moved over to the bigger factory operation and is pumped full of all the antibiotics that all the rest are kept on.
So, while my uncle is keeping a small herd and who has both financial and moral reasons for wanting to maintain his cows that way, a large factory farm can maintain a nominal organic operation, undercutting small fries like my uncle, but actually only keeping their cows organic for exactly as long as it’s convenient, and not a moment longer.
My uncle is retired now, but it hurt me to hear him tell that story. We ought to care about small family farms, but we keep letting capitalist “efficiency” turn every aspect of life on Earth into a market-optimized hellscape.
Slightly debatable which version of evil is the worst. I’d agree that I’d probably rather have a Lawful Evil head of state right now than what we’ve got.
You can’t spell Slaughter Beach without laughter!
No one who speaks German could be an evil man!
This, Legend, and Labyrinth were a huge part of my childhood, and yet I turned out straight-ish. More or less. I mean, there’s always Gene Kelly. And Toshiro Mifune. And Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. A man’s got to know the limits of his heterosexuality.
Oh, also, about The Last Unicorn…
Some of the animators from TLU would eventually go on to found Studio Ghibli, and that makes sense.
Also, if you get a chance listen to the Peter David commentary on the movie. He’s grumpy and cantankerous throughout, but was apparently very happy about the movie. At one point he says “When I heard they were going to have America do the music, all I knew was ‘A Horse with No Name’ and I thought it would be terrible, but then I heard what they came up with and it was perfect.” It’s a great commentary, well worth the listen.
This book
was a lifesaver for me fresh out of college and not knowing what the hell to do in the kitchen.
I haven’t used AeroPress, but I appreciate that the French press is equally useful for making both hot and cold brew coffee. Mine is all-metal and you could just about beat someone to death with it.
Q: What do you call a doctor who is three sheets to the wind by mid-afternoon?
A: Doctor.
