The best thing that can be said about Glee is that it ended before they could cover Hamilton.

Off topic:

Mr. Schuester sucks, but without him we would have never gotten Taran Killam as the equally evil Glee coach on Community.

Reminds me of an ivy league admissions officer who wrote an essay about 10-15 years ago about personal statements.

I wasn’t aware of who Ruth Shalit was (I would have been 10 years old when she left The New Republic), and what strikes me about this controversy over her piece in The Atlantic is how unnecessary a lot of her flourishes were. Private coaches, traveling for tournaments, and just the fact that these parents are…

I agree with your first point, but I might quibble with the second. I’d argue Trump was mostly a C-list celebrity, at best. Maybe B-list for a season or two of The Apprentice, but even then, my memory was of people talking about the contestants, not him. Trump won the presidency because America had the audacity to…

This. I’m currently engaged. Have been for six months and have no desire to kill my remaining grandparents so it’s not a thought until at least this time 2021, depending on the vaccine and the death count.

Look I’m supposed to get married next year so I’ve been dealing with the possibility of having to postpone my wedding (its in the second half of the year, so too soon to decide at this point)...Imagine thinking your wedding is more important than the health and safety of your loved ones and the vendors you hired? I…

Geez, I guess I should keep this picture handy...

It always warms my heart to meet people in special education. Thank you for what you do! Also, yes, what a great point. If the studios can make weird accommodations for their high maintenance diva stars, they certainly can do what is necessary to assist an actor on the spectrum.

Thank you <3 

I’mma watch your movie, bud.

It’s not a disability per se, but only because it’s not very well understood. People with it do have common “disabilities” we all share regardless of how our increased perception manifests and our brains literally function different than the brains of people without it. Like we all can see in the dark or have “better…

Synesthesia isn’t classified as a disability so no, I wouldn’t call it “having an abled person play a differently abled person’.

Ok. This is a bridge too far. What is this Gilbert Grape bullshit? I know this probably will get lost in the grays, but my brother has autism, and I made a short film with an autistic character in it so that we could increase representation. I went to great lengths to find an actor ACTUALLY ON THE SPECTRUM to play…

That is an amazing idea and it’s too bad Sia didn’t take that route. Honestly, an entire movie’s worth of Sia’s songs and Maddie’s dancing with trippy themes would have been entertaining on its own. But she had to do...this. Lol. 

This is a truly terrible idea. Truly. If they wanted a person who sees the world differently so they could do whimsical musical sequences, they could have made the story about someone who has synesthesia, where you see music as colors or something like that.

Probably the kid isn’t autistic at all. Just messed up because she has parents that would name a kid Music.

But SFU had a lot of black humor. I can’t even get through the fucking commercials of TIU.

I’m of two minds about this. I now live in Massachusetts surrounded by Democratic leaders with the exception of Gov Baker, but I grew up in a district that can swing Democrat or Republican and I visit often/maintain contacts there. They don’t like and won’t vote for socialists. They’re not inspired by Bernie or The…
