Current Discussions
These discussions are still new or were updated recently.
The Divine Right of Presidents
To further nitpick Gorsuch about self-pardons: We don't yet know for sure whether a president has the power to pardon himself, because no president has yet tried it and given the courts a chance to weigh in. Go »UFOs and Government Conspiracies
I'm grateful to John Oliver for breaking all of this down in a very funny and surprisingly sympathetic manner. Go »
The Movie of Me
There was a time that I would have said Garden State. But I'm not longer an angsty guy in my early 20's. Go »Terms of Determent
Are there any terms or phrases that make you permanently disregard someone who uses them in a discussion? Go »Bane of Bobby
Well, good. Then it's not just me. :-) It could be deliberate scaremongering of their readers or just projection of their own election worries, but yeah, the liberal press inaccurately freaking out about Kennedy spoiling Biden sounds like the correct explanation to me. Go »Abortion
When it comes to this subject, more people sharing more of their true personal stories with abortion can and should make a difference on this matter. Go »Crescent City Consultation
I got a few decent photos from my vantage point in Perryville, MO, which is as far south as I could make it due to the HORRENDOUS traffic on the interstate. Go »Wack to the Future
Excellent points, guys. I agree with pretty much all of it, particularly two things: 1) Erik, you mentioned the absurdity of the two-party system. Go »Oscars 2024
I've suspected for years that something crucial is missing from most Oscar predictions, which is the esteem in which each nominee is held by their peers. Go »Frosty Reception
Maybe. Wendy's will certainly discover in market research whether the motives that bring people to their restaurants can be affected by dynamic pricing. Go »The Conversion to Immersion
As long as we're on the subject, Kelly found what has to be my favorite reaction to Disney closing the Galactic Starcruiser: click image to zoom Go »As Seen on TV
Off of the top of my head, the most comfortable TV home that I can think of is probably the Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the least comfortable must be the tribe shelter in any season of Survivor. Go »The "Arrgh!" in Diarchy
If any goo game players are wondering why this week has two king goos, it's because I miscalculated the round for today's Music goo. Go »Biden
As a follow-up to my rant above about Joe Biden betraying the rail workers union, I was pleased that pressure from his administration later helped them get precisely what they were striking for. Go »
Mickey Versus Meatball Ron
[hidden by request] Go »Trumped by the Insurrection Clause
[hidden by request] Go »The Daily Grind
They've been diligently searching for a year, and yet Comedy Central still cannot find a new host for The Daily Show. Go »Star Swap
If Chloé Zhao and Zoë Chao ever make a movie together, I will lose what little ability I still have to remember which is which. Go »Best of 2023
I rarely review short films in Thorough Movie Reviews because it feels strange to spend longer writing about them than it takes to watch them, but I did see three new shorts of wildly varying quality this year: Rogue Not Quite One is the latest embarrassingly bad Disney+ short that blends the Simpsons with some other Disney-owned property and in the process reminds you of how vastly better and more inspired both franchises used to feel. Go »ITube, YouTube, WeTube
Funeratic has lots of "game" people on it, so I hereby recommend Lateral with Tom Scott to you all. This channel hosts clips from a weekly podcast in which Tom Scott gets online with three other YouTubers and/or podcasters, and they take turns asking each other interesting questions about history and culture, and you try to figure out the solution faster than they do. Go »KFC and the Sunshine Band
Steve, if you want cheesy jokes, I'm there.

Man, that is the most appropriate analogy I have heard in a long time. Go »What's on the Ol' Boob Tube?
Another recommendation: Over the Garden Wall, a short series available on Hulu and YouTube. It's only about 1 hour 45 minutes in total, easy to watch in one sitting. Go »MCU Project: Crossovers
Ha! That's a fun idea. Not many actors have played themselves in the MCU (with one big humorous exception that I won't spoil), but I bet there's a similar conflict in there somewhere. Go »Longest Discussions
These are Tragic Comedy's all-time longest discussions.
Gay Marriage
I think we've mentioned it in passing, but I couldn't find an official thread here about gay marriage. Go »
Yankees Win! Theeeeee Yankees Win!
Read the subject. That is all. Go »Rock Block
I'm pleased to introduce the newest game on goo.tc, Rock Block. It's part strategy game, part collecting game, part business game, and part rock-n-roll fantasy league. Go »
Interesting Videos.....Or Whatever
Thought I would start a thread to post interesting videos in. Here's a pretty neat video. This girl is nuts for doing this though. Go »Election Day
Let's begin. Go »RB21
It's been three weeks since Rock Block launched, and the early rush of mass participation has given way to a few regulars playing constantly. Go »
Current Goo
Does the current goo have all the leaders stumped? Can I declare victory now? Or have we just not had enough time? Go »Goo: Towers
Recently, I've been talking about taking the goo game in a different direction. That plan goes into effect tonight, with the start of Round XLI in five hours. Go »"Shall We Play a Game?"
Time for a meme game (thanks Gina). 1. Pick five of your favorite movies that many people have seen. Go »
