Oscars 2025
Sorry to have been imprecise. I should have limited my criticism to activists (using that term very loosely) since they, and the industry insiders trying to game the Oscars by jumping on the bandwagon with them, are the ones involved in this particular case. Go »
Tune in to Find Out What Happens Next
A show similar to A Series of Unfortunate Events that gets its material from our Knocks discussion thread. Go »

Milton
Late to replying, but that's hilarious. :-) About the aforementioned FEMA conspiracy theories, i kind of sympathize with the folks who were mocked online for spreading nonsense that the government creates hurricanes and/or created Milton. Go »
Merry Christmas 2024
Yeah, my wishes for the greater world for 2025 would just make me angry to write out, so I'm not going to bother. Go »
Knocks
My daughter woke me around 11:30 last night whispering for me to guess how old she would be next month, to which I replied that I didn't know. Go »
Goo Game Rule Tweaks
The October season turned out to be the first ever to have two winners. I am so glad that I changed that rule, because the requirement that there always be only a single winner tended to force us into problematic scoring systems. Go »
86,400 Seconds to Mars
Just saw this. Also done. Hope it's not too late. Go »
28 is Weird
Guilty as charged. And may it please the court to confine me here for the next 28 (if only...). Go »
Why Do You Like Movies?
Yes! Galaxy Quest is definitely a repeat watch. And for some reason - Groundhog Day. Go »
Star Swap
I've been a fan of both for many years and I still can't tell them apart in pictures: Blogger Heather Armstrong and singer Emily Haines could have been twins. Go »
Colonoscopy: Necessary Evil
The doctor recommended it to me in this case but yes, marketing medical things to consumers is very weird. Go »
Gay Marriage

Wack to the Future
Yeah, I hear you. I have a tendency to go overboard trying to collect every last thing that I can in a set. Go »
A Murder of Crow's
I appreciate the thoughtful answer, Lori. We really did see quite a few movies back then. Plenty of happy memories. Go »
I'm a Jew, a Lonely Jew... in America
What happened on October 7, 2023 was an invasion of Israel by Hamas that killed 1200 people and wounded 3400 more, and in particularly gruesome ways involving decapitation, rape, arson, and door-to-door murder sprees. Go »
Biden Bows Out
Yeah, that last bit is what it comes down to for me: Even if Biden could still defeat Trump as he claimed, the idea of him serving as president through January 2029 is very hard to believe. Go »
Coronavirus
I mentioned frazzledrip above. Recently, I discovered that there are people I know personally (albeit not well) who very much believe in the Venn-diagram overlap of Democrats, pedophiles, and Satanic cultists, despite that particularly disgusting conspiracy theory fading with time. Go »
Abortion
Well put, both of you. I heard another way to put it (I think from someone at the DNC this week?) that I liked: "It's no more anybody else's business how a pregnancy ended than how it began. 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 »
