There was.  It’s been big news since HBO Max launched.  

I would think the bigger issue with Messing’s statement is the pervasive idea that the inmate-on-inmate violence in prisons is both justified and permissible. It’s not only acknowledging that our corrections facilities are incubators of torture but applauds this fact. It’s a fucking tragedy that this is the state of…

She’s saying that she hopes Trump is sexually assaulted in prison. Debra Messing aside, we should not be happy about having a penal system where enduring repeated sexual violence is part of serving one’s sentence.

Everyone should do themselves a favor and read the Irish Times review. I laughed more reading that than I likely would at the movie.

I just find it funny how neither Noah or Don knew what it meant but somehow managed to use it correctly and against its intended target (Black women). I’d be slightly more inclined to believe they didn’t know what it meant if they called like, Gwyneth Paltrow a nappy headed ho. Then I’d be like huh I don’t think that…

Is she wrong about what? That you know a few Sanders supporters who didn’t vote in 2016 doesn’t mean he is responsible for costing Clinton the election. The level of support for Clinton in the general election among disappointed Sanders primary voters in 2016 wasn’t any more than what it typically is for disappointed…

It’s not just that she went too hard for her former boss, she spent the entire 4 years since the 2016 picking fights with progressives and blaming them for Clinton’s 2016 loss. She also engaged in union busting (that is right up there in the article), is friendly with corrupt racist Netanyahu, including censoring her…

Someone in my neighborhood has a Martin O'Malley sticker on their car and every time I remember he existed all over again.

My wife’s cousin had a box of “Nixon/Agnew” buttons and we grabbed a bunch because of the kitsch-factor.

I thought it was a well-worn trope ‘round liberal parts to have a Subaru with like a Gore/Lieberman sticker well into the 21st century lol

I drove a car with “Nixon’s through in ‘72" for like 5 years. Hey, I was only off by 2 years.

Here in Australia, one of my wife’s cousins has a thing for really old cars. In fact since he has more than 10, I think we can say he has a collection of old cars. One of which is a 1950-something Cadillac Eldorado with a “KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT” sticker in the back window.

“What do people do with their old bumper stickers, anyway? Actually try and peel them off or just cover them with something else?” some wear it as a badge of honor, I live in Beto’s neighborhood and a lot of people still carry the failed senate and presidential bid stickers on their cars

They picked 23 because this movie will be canon in Jim Carrey’s Number 23niverse.

I think it’s probably the last election that somebody could be forgiven for plausibly thinking “both sides are the same”, since the Dems had spent the 90s doing third-way “end of history” shit and the Republicans hadn’t yet gotten quite into the habit of saying the quiet part loud. But yeah if you didn’t see that was…

Oh man. This was my first election and it feels like yesterday. This one was the canary in the coal mine that the GOP will cheat, they will steal, and they will get away with it if Democrats keep letting elections get close enough to steal.

I was positively surprised by how nice the show was. And how Ted was leading usually be defusing conflict and finding ways for people to realise themselves and work together. This kind of thing is usually coded as female type of leadership so that was refreshing. I also like how the season let Rebecca remember how to…

Word. Love WSG and the whole Griselda

Re-watch the original instead. Boyle and Gould and Loggia and a whole line up of outstanding characters. Of course, the dialog is based on the actual transcript rather than Sorkin’s cleverness.

David Ehrlich from Indiewire categorised Sorkin’s approach to biopics as not wanting the life story, but the life rights, so he can melt it down and use the parts to tell the story he wants to tell, rather than try to tell what actually happened (which, lets be fair, even the biopics that try to be faithful often…
