Okay, is there a searchable TV / movies corpus?
Mar. 28th, 2026 02:04 pmconulyOr several corpuses? (Corpora?)
I’m just getting tired of people claiming that “nobody” says things that I’m certain I’ve recently heard on contemporary lowbrow media. But I just can’t prove it! And I can’t make them prove it either!
Even fansites with searchable scripts would be something.

I finally caught up on Only Murders in the Building

I actually have a similar thought about the most recent episode I watched of Young Sherlock, ( Read more... )

And my Robert Moses counter increments up yet again!
Mar. 26th, 2026 02:21 pmconulyIn a random reddit thread this time.
Truly, people will never, ever stop complaining about the man.
Also on reddit: "This is an old book" but also "snapchat was mentioned". Uh....

After we got to the end of Starfleet Academy we let the TV autoselect what's next

and ended up with Young Sherlock.
Let me make my position on Young Sherlock absolutely clear: If Sherlock and Moriarty do not kiss and/or fuck by the end of this series, I will not be responsible for my actions.

Finished Starfleet Academy
Mar. 23rd, 2026 09:48 amconulyThe moral of the last two episodes can be summed up as "never air live when you can air on a delay instead". Though I did find those chyrons for the show trial pretty amusing!

So here's this thread
Mar. 22nd, 2026 12:57 pmconulyIn which this teacher earnestly wants a word to substitute for "chink" in Midsummer Night's Dream, and one person suggests kink which doesn't mean the same thing.
And on the one hand, I'm sure they all have their hearts in the right place, but on the other hand, maybe they should collectively teach a different play instead. Shakespeare wrote plenty of comedies, just pick a different one off the shelf.

Mar. 21st, 2026 04:15 pmnilchancetonight we have the Crooked Moon campaign, so here's a song for my skeleton boy Jabo:
Jabo lost his soul to a demon after a fiddle contest gone wrong, and now that he's died it's time for an eternity of servitude in the afterlife. he thinks he's ruthless enough to do anything to stay on that demon's good side, but unfortunately the party he found himself working with is challenging him on that already. one is a grandmother witch who gave him a cookie; another is the father of a young daughter. he doesn't want to know anything about these people, let alone like them, and it concerns him because the demon could always be listening or watching in order to keep him in line. it's a pretty bad position to have found himself in. it's only going to get more complicated from here. I'm loving the process of Jabo twisting in the wind.

There sure is a lot of Heated Rivalry fic being recommended every day
Mar. 21st, 2026 08:29 amconulyAnd every one of those recs is better than the books. Well, I've shared my opinion on the books, the problems and characterization are insufficiently balanced for dual viewpoints.
But anyway, that's not what I'm thinking about. What I'm thinking about is Fabian and his generically shitty parents who clearly don't care about him very much. ( Read more... )

Mar. 19th, 2026 12:29 pmconulyThem: Go look at any official communication from a company. Have you ever received a ConEd bill that says, “Ya should of paid ya bill on time, now we gonna haveta cut off ya powa”? Of course not. Why? Because that is not standard English, and it would reflect poorly on the company.
Me: I take it you've never called ConEd on the phone in NYC? Because, whew, that'd disabuse you of this fiction pretty quick. Them and National Grid, wow. And I'm not even talking about their representatives, I'm talking about their recordings! Never heard such a thick NYC accent in my life, and I grew up here!
