The Ellen Page film was Freeheld.

Along those lines, I’m still a little disappointed by the way Ugly Betty ended. It made sense for the characters’ direction but I really wanted to finally see a story where a superficial, gorgeous guy learns that personality matters more than looks when falling in love. Sure, America Fererra is only “Hollywood ugly”…

Not to go all Gamergate but I’m reminded of how a developer at BioWare posted some of the fury he got from straight cismale gamers who felt left out because there were same-sex romances and opposite-sex romances in the game (can’t remember if it was Dragon Age or Mass Effect).

She works at a retail store, does her own laundry, goes food shopping, and takes primary care of her and her partner’s kid and GASP has a wrinkle or two?

If they are nervous about being sued, most shelters will happily sign a waiver taking responsibility.

Fast food joints used to throw away 15 minute old burgers in the wrapper in the dumpsters too - don’t know if they still do that, but when you’re hungry, you’re not all that picky.

Serious question. Which candidates were paid to give speeches to groups that they’re promising to have an adversarial relationship? Did Chris Christie talk to Black Lives Matter? Did Marco Rubio talk to Define American? There’s a particular reason those speeches are a topic and this really feels like a disingenous…

Serious question. Bernie Sanders has been regularly visiting The Thom Hartman (radio) Show and taking questions from callers for years (since at least 2005). I’ve been surprised the Clinton campaign hasn’t scoured those records to find something he said that could be turned into a scandal but, so far, nothing.

at this point the things that people are imagining she said are probably quite a bit more damaging for her than the boilerplate speech she likely gave

Oh. Yeah. I need to go buy more bacon for dinner.

For me the big issue is that the Clintons’ “pragmatism” includes reflexive hippie punching, which just reenforces conservative narratives. When Obama looked like the threat we got a “scary black man supports him” attack, Sanders is getting the “he’s going to raise your taxes!” attack, Bill had his Sister Souljah…

I’m in the greys but maybe someone else will find this moment from 8 years ago relevant enough to bring it out:

Yeah but are these the same GOP strategists who said “Oh, this time Donald Trump has gone to far, that thing he said is going to make his poll numbers plummet!” a few dozen times? I’m seriously undecided and one factor is this year just keeps defying conventional wisdom.

Didn’t she similarly put her foot in her mouth for Clinton 8 years ago, with a NYT column about how black men have it better than (white) women so we should support Clinton over Obama.

As someone who remembers the glory days of Bullfrog, it’s heartbreaking to read about the failures of Godus. Molyneux is credited with games that, no exageration, changed the course of gaming. Seeing him responsible for this mess is so sad.

Aw, I was hoping this would be helpful with the tougher green olives that give me so much trouble, the ones where the meat is so attached strongly I’m pretty much scratching it to scrape it off the pit with a knife.

I liked the idea behind Fable 3 but the implementation really lacked depth. I’d love to see someone try again to make a game like that where you’re governing.

Ah. That’s why I never heard about it from friends who play Eve.

This guy knows how to play to the people who think ACORN stole the 2012 election for President Obama.

To make this closer to the topic, I’d say there are actors who won’t hesitate say they’re black but are consistently cast as white characters. (Though there was one casting director who had the sense to cast Wentworth Miller in a role that was partially defined by being biracial.) Why not cast an actor with that…
