Oprah talks to Gayle the way I talk to my sister.

Honestly, I think one of the most dangerous myths that many of us believe about neo-nazis/fascists/white supremacists/racists is that they are comprised solely of a sort of uneducated, disenfranchised, lumpenproletariat far removed from power and influence, be it cultural, political or otherwise.

Also, Dude is NOT handsome, he is paying someone for fashion shots. He is one step behind David Duke and plastic surgery. That is how lame he is,

I think there’s an element of surprise, like, how can this guy be this racist without the robe? While being this well-dressed? Aren’t all racists poor dressers who live in the sticks?

George Orwell knew the importance of ridiculing fascism when it crept into the light of day. Someone was complaining the other day that stories about Trump scotch-taping his tie together or looking ridiculous were unimportant and distracting. In truth, pointing out the ridiculousness of the neo-Nazi movement and and…

This country has been like this since the beginning, most people just let themselves consider Obama to be the rule rather than the exception.

Honestly, I think this is the backlash of 2008 and 2012. If the democrats had run a white male candidate (I feel squicky just saying that) like Biden or even a Democratic governor or a liberal state, they may have won. I don’t like that I had to say that, but there were apparently a lot of white men/women who…

The problem IS that it’s women. Amazon isn’t great with focusing on women’s issues, either in their corporate structure or in their original programming. I won’t even give them credit for Catastrophe because it’s a British co-pro and costs them next to nothing.

Millenia of theater and (more recently) television have conditioned us to normalize and accept attractiveness as a shorthand for moral correctness. The evil are ugly; the good are attractive. The evil are impotent, while the good are virile. Maybe they think they’re being clever in playing fascism against good…

This didn’t happen overnight, it’s been happening since 1980—even before, really, going back to Phyllis Schlafly’s dark-money-funded attack on the Equal Rights Amendment, which presented a bizarre, Kochs’-eye vision of manly men being unmanned by manly women.

It’s been building for a while now. I remember taking a class back in undergrad (mid-90's) about hate groups and the general undercurrent in the U.S.; the Southern Poverty Law Center’s been tracking this stuff for ages.

Racism has been an underpinning of the GOP since the Southern strategy in the ‘70s. The party has also given cover to racist elements in the Tea Party, the sovereign movement etc. Fox News normalized supremacists who spoke in coded language that grew less coded with each year, and also normalized disinformation…

I guess there were tons lurking among us and now they’ve stepped out of the shadows? It’s pretty horrifying to think that I’ve been working or meeting these people and I had no idea they were secretly hating me.

There is still this perception-counter to most evidence-that if it doesn’t play with the male demographic of the same age it is a money loser, because those are the peeps who are primary consumers, spend the most on entertainment—-they think. This is a problem in movie industry too.

Dicks. Nothing but dicks as far as the eye can see.

Seriously, it’s as if they think “But he handsome and wears nice clothes! Isn’t it somehow ironic that he’s a fucking racist piece of shit?!?”

Canceling this show and propping up that odious piece of shit Woody Allen says everything about the leadership at Amazon. Their largest budget to date is for a car show (which I love, btw) that is hosted by another odious piece of shit, an outright racist with brain damage and James May.

If I want to watch a show that makes me want to slit my wrists, I’ll just turn on the news.

I kind of got that bit, though— there’s something very “now” about being courted by a company, them telling you that you’re everything they could ever want and more, that you need to agree to come work with them posthaste, and then once you get there, grilling you about what you bring to the company. It’s very…

I would pay for an Emily & Paris only series.
