The first season was constantly surprising, funny, inventive, in one word great. The second season seemed to run on fumes. The stakes were low, there was an uninvolving arc, but there were still some good jokes scattered here and there.

You must hate Community.

Your comment makes no sense. What are you saying exactly? The director and the stunt coordinator were in cahoots to sexually assault people? The writer would have put the scene in there and James Cameron directed it. A grown woman dancing seductively for a movie scene shouldn’t be in the same category as a little girl…

So if America is Iran in this analogy, who’s America and its allies? ‘Cause it really and unequivocally was foreign meddling that ended up fucking over Iran so hard and causing the backsliding of social progress. Left to its own devices, it may well have backslid but there’s no way it would have been so sudden and…

All-female reboot!

the nightmarish—and nightmarishly plausible—misogynistic dystopia of Gilead

Why wouldn’t anybody believe Moby on this? Everything he is saying is so obviously true and all stuff we have known since before the election!

By “stand-up”, you mean “start an unwinnable war against a large part of the country’s population and without any backing from a bickering, fractured left?” Or do you mean “single-handedly dismantle America’s all the racism and white supremacy that has been baked into all of our instituitions over the century”?…

Can we stop shit-talking everybody who doesn’t live up to progressive (and, probably, unachievable) ideals? Obama came in at a time when the country was at a point of near-financial collapse and, during a period of extreme divisions in American society and with constant opposition from a Republican congress, he did…

So who, according to you and your ridiculously high standards, was a good leader?

You seem awfully preoccupied with the bigot’s base. Thing is – some of us don’t care what they think, in great part because they don’t care what WE think, or how we live, or IF we live. So – not to put too fine a point on it – the hell with them.

Best tweet I saw read:

And it was glorious.

I’m still here! (Sort of) I lost my Scrawler name in the transition and I can’t get out of the fucking grays, so I hardly ever come around anymore. But I did happen to decide to pay a visit randomly just 20 minutes after this story posted. My Hardy sense must have been tingling ...

Is there an I’m Spartacus thing going on here?

No, they just have to find a way to allow him to do stuff like this:

I’m not defending Franco here, but social media is a cesspool where commenters jockey for attention by posting the most outrage-filled hot takes they can muster. So it may not be the ideal forum for a wide-ranging, nuanced discussion about improving gender equality.

Well, let’s see- there was the 1970s when he was sued multiple times for discriminating against minorities when it came to his rental properties.

Hey you’re the one who’s obsessed with Franco....

Ok then. Either it’s “only fair” that he gets to speak, in which case it’s fundamentally unfair each and every time someone has been invited on stage during an acceptance and hasn’t been offered mic time, or it’s actually fine that he didn’t get to speak because the reality is there’s no inequity created by this…
