You brought up something I touched on awhile back (the centrality of a group identity to the character) on an article about gay actors and the roles being written and offered.

As much as we talk about representation (I’m black and gay myself), the reality is that historically, there aren’t that many notable people…

Not to get needlessly political, but it’s a bit naive to think that all of the billions of aid sent to Israel ostensibly for Iron Dome went to Iron Dome. Not only that, but the aid also functions as backdoor funding for companies such as Raytheon who are part of the co-operation agreement(s) that are baked into the…

Because Nick literally didn’t give them enough budget. They could either have voice acting, or a roster that’s about half the size, at best.

Counter-counter point: Israel is a rich nation that can, and should, pay for its own defense. If the US is interested in supplying defensive arms to countries to limit civilian casualties, it should spend an equal amount of money supporting Palestinian civilians. 

Making a conflict more one-sided prevents the stronger side from ever considering giving up anything of value for peace. 

The movie also compares the honey industry to slavery and literally includes a line about bees working for the white man. Fucking insane movie but in a good dumb way

The reception to Bee Movie must really sting.

I can see why they thought it might work -  Joseph Gordon Levitt is a well-respected actor, and the teacher slowly being reborn by the life around him might be a promising idea - but it’s something that might have been more successful 30-40 years ago than today. There’s just too much to choose from, and I think people…

Furry was not a sexual orientation. Its a fetish. You can be a queer furry but not all furrys are queer.

Sounds like someone’s polling isn’t what he hoped it would be.

Bullies with massive egos are common in entertainment, not just at the top but in the middle too— working as a PA 15 years back I encountered incredibly awful behavior from people only one or two runs higher but the general attitude was it’s to be expected and you have to take the outbursts and belittling because even…

I..... misread this comment.

Now I see why the right wing cult wanted to recall him.

Now he just needs to dump it on someone’s front porch like all people who grow gourds and realize they are sick of them after eating like, 4 of them.

and that’s the reason why you absolutely do not eat boar the same way you eat pig.
Boar can be delicious if prepared like it should. I’ve had patés and stews that were straight up amazing.

Exactly. Abusers isolate their victims and always aim for the weakest and people with the most to lose. Abusers also know how to smile and treat their equals well, and then suck up to powerful people. It’s only the true sociopaths who attack anyone.

This is apparently going to be shocking: Abusers typically don’t abuse people who can actually hurt them. I have no doubt prominent people didn’t know how bad he was, because he can’t actually abuse them without harming himself, and the people who he does abuse would be too intimidated to tell anyone else.

Plenty of people have spoken out against powerful people over just past couple of decades, despite facing awful potential consequences. It’s hard as hell, most people shy away, but this comment comes across as edgelord contrarianism.

Aaron Sorkin is a tool.

Stupid boars, out there doing crunches
