It’s gross that there’s so little effort on the behalf of city governments to incentivize the build of reasonably priced housing. I get that most developers will always choose to build luxury housing if they have their choice as that’s where the profit margin is highest, but it’s in the city’s interest to have a more…

The NYT finally got ahold of Trump’s tax returns! They’re just as infuriating as you expect.

I was promised that the director’s cut was a better movie by people like you, and that promise was unfulfilled. It was just a longer equally ridiculous movie and the theatrical version of BvS was already way way too long. The movie still had a bloated mess of a plot that was weirdly paced, a truly terrible version…

Logic? I don’t know if there’s logic other than it’s just a fact that stanning female songstresses (Judy Garland, Cher, Diana Ross, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga, etc.) has long been a part of gay culture. Historically, these stars embraced their gay fans in way that they were unlikely to find…

I had completely forgotten about this workout video, but as soon as I read the headline I could hear the song in my head. I can’t remember if I actually ever saw the workout video (I was 6 when this video came out so workout videos weren’t on my list on things to beg my parents for), but I remember singing the song as…

A famous white man who was groomed to avoid overtly political statements too, so there’s no history of Harry saying bad things about him even though I’m sure he has plenty of thoughts.

Man I loved making custom Winamp Skins back in the day!

There’s always a possibility for his superhuman patience to be recognized in the next admin!

Why would she need a TV deal? She already had one and could have ridden that pony for as long as she wanted to. She transcended the need for a reality tv show to keep her profile up where she wants it at least 7 years ago.

All of this. I loved RBG and wish she could have lived forever. But knowing she wasn’t going to, it would have been fucking nice for her and the people who were urging her to stay on to realize that even as excellent as her minority opinions always were, she was ultimately less useful to the causes she cared about…

“Even putting aside the fact that some of the conservative justices are getting up there too”

I agree overall but I don’t think fear will be the motivator in every case. There’re pretty much no downside except to their own self image for Murkowski, Romney or Grassley* to vote for Trump’s nomination to the court. They’re not in a situation like Susan Collins were there’s a very real possibility that a yes vote…

Well to be fair, it’s likely not just their own self regard at work here. We’re talking about pro-life Republicans who care very much themselves about the composition of the court. They want this seat badly, even if* they’d rather not get it this way.

I already answered the stats question in another comment. It’s not hard to understand given what she just said about McPhee. If you’re reducing someone to their income, age, race and gender to make assumptions about their politics as she had just done about a rich millennial white woman, Reiner ticks a lot of…

He’s an incredibly wealthy white senior citizen. Superficially that puts him in the Republicans’ wheel house. Rob being a Jewish guy from Brooklyn who works in Hollywood obviously complicates that picture, but if you were following the logic that McPhee’s whiteness and wealth alone made her likely to be a Republican…

After Romney we’d still need one more and I’m struggling to imagine who is even a plausible possibility to be the 4th. None of the vulnerable Senators besides Collins are likely to hold out. Tillis is already on the record for saying he’ll vote for RBG’s replacement even though we don’t have one named yet. McSally…

Thank you everyone for your kind words.  I truly appreciated them.

Maybe I’m being too nice, but I didn’t actually take from what Harron wrote that she was saying she was actually surprised by Rob Reiner’s stance. I think she was just contrasting him to McPhee as a segue into her next story. She had just said that based on her demographic, we should not be surprised about her…

You should be able to. It’s syndicated so it will vary from city to city, but it airs on the local NBC in my area

Thank you!  I needed to hear that.
