FYI: Hillary has said categorically that she would not commit ground troops to Syria.

Williams (the comment about the weather) was never elected. He was a wealthy douche who ran for governor of Texas in 1990 (I think?). This statement lost him the election—and opened the door for the beloved Ann Richards to be governor. I don’t know the context for all the rest of these—but it might be some comfort at…

No, she really wouldn’t. Jennifer Lawrence has always been gracious to her co-workers and bosses. She’s well-liked not just by the public, but by the people who have actually worked with her. That’s why it’s cute when she says silly stuff—because when it comes to actual work, she’s known to be a consummate…

Well... she wasn’t so much opinionated as a huge, public jerk to the people that labor behind the scenes working to make her look good with no glory. She tried to publicly shame the Grey’s writers for not giving her “good enough” material (I never really watched that show—so I can’t speak to how good or bad her…

Except that the students said that they had never experienced racism on campus until they were at an event thrown by a New Yorker. The article also says that the rest of the student body was visibly disturbed by their ejection—not cheering it.

I never said that the state of Dash’s career could be ~blamed~ on her views—to me that’s a moot point, because, in truth, Dash has been far more successful than the average actor. Your barometer for Hollywood success is unreasonably high. Being an A-list superstar is like being MVP of the Superbowl—those people are…

Your argument doesn’t really make a lot of sense to me because, in Hollywood, Dash would be considered rather successful. She has worked steadily for over 20 years—that’s a huge deal. And she’s pretty much equally as successful as Alicia Silverstone—who also doesn’t have a real career these days (she just writes books…

But interviewing someone isn’t about proving that you’re smarter or funnier than them. It’s about having a conversation with them and making them feel comfortable and making you both look good. Colbert is too used to proving that he’s the funniest person evah. He needs to chill the fuck out and just play nice with…

Agree. I like Colbert—but we all need to face the fact that he isn’t a great interviewer. Affleck looked fine—like, hipster casual—totally appropriate for an interview. The ribbing was right off the bat and if Colbert and Affleck didn’t have an established relationship, anyone would have considered it a little rude to…

Anecdotal—but when I was prescribed Lexapro for severe depression and anxiety, it MADE me manic. I experienced nearly a week (because I kept taking it, thinking that it was just an adjustment period) of prolonged hypomania. And that included nearly total sleeplessness and intense creativity (I could practically feel…

Me too. I freaking love Ninja Warrior.

Yes. That is what they did. The letter-writing asshat isn’t saying that the homeless disappeared literally DURING the game’s airtime—he means during the whole time when tourists and journalists would be in town for the game. So, for like a week before and a few days after the Super Bowl. This is pretty standard…

Seriously. That’s literally what he seems to be proposing—how do you think all the “riff raff” disappeared around the Super Bowl? They were probably amping up arrests like crazy.

I think when he brought up the free market and his right to live without encountering “riff raff” because he’d worked so hard, it sort of quashes any possibility that he meant this in a productive “let’s all pay taxes for the greater good” sort of way.

This. I haven’t been to San Francisco in years, so I’m no authority on the current state of affairs. But my dad lived there in the 90s and early 00s—and for part of the 90s, he was homeless there. He lived at the YMCA and in a car (until it was impounded), stayed at homeless shelters from time to time, and ate at soup…

Goddamnit. Keep your dirty mitts off my Cape Breton. Find your own island.

While I totally see where you’re coming from, I really, really love Carol. So I have to defend her a little. I don’t think she’s lost her humanity so much as that she’s constantly adjusting her survival strategy. And I don’t think she had any real malice when she shot wolf man. I think she really thought (and…

On the io9 recap of the episode, there’s a really interesting comment that pointed out a bit of a different take:

Me too. I’m always surprised how much negativity there is around the Walking Dead, actually. I’ll admit that there’s some inconsistency—but I still think it’s one of the best-written shows on TV right now. But if I go online and read reviews, you’d think people were watching 2 Broke Girls, with all the excoriating…

I thought this episode was great. I agree with some of the criticisms—like the fact that Glenn’s narrow escape was a little too convenient (they could’ve set it up better) and that the weird time skip while the group is walking through the horde (from day when they start to sudden darkness) made no sense. But, all in…
