Bush broke the world. Clinton was okay with that. She was okay with Wall Street breaking the world AGAIN.

Maybe the fact that SP captures what a majority of people feel (i.e., both parties are awful) and Trump’s ability to win despite his obvious, glaring flaws should invite some soul-searching among our corporate-owned political elites. No, nevemind, the people are stupid.

HE KILLED A MILLION IRAQIS.

It’s amazing that all this seems to have flowed out of Weinstein’s accusers coming forward. He was so powerful in Hollywood, way more powerful than the actors in his films, that once his victims started coming forward en masse about his criminal behavior than coming forward about anyone else become less terrifying. I…

a president who somehow makes us long for Bush’s kinder, gentler war crimes.

The biggest problem with the episode is that the Duffers have created a super authentic version of 1980s suburbia, and yet also created an entirely inauthentic version of 1980s city life/punk lifestyle. That’s why it’s so jarring (and the awful acting of these bit characters that were introduced). How is it possible…

I, too, have extreme difficulty in pretending empathy with people whose fears boil down to “I am terrified of losing white supremacy.” I may pat and soothe my dog when she’s terrified of the vacuum, but don’t expect me to offer the same treatment when you express “concern” over seeing minorities in your neighborhood.

Politics Corner - Basking in the Afterglow edition. We know more about yesterday’s Dem victories now. They were widespread. They were the result, primarily, of a massive turnout surge. And exit polls say that a lot of voters were motivated by a desire to oppose Trump and a party craven and shameless enough to fall in…

I assume they had to log off to go to their jobs at Disney?

I really don’t understand how he can say “But it’s not your home” about anyone when I’m pretty sure he’s not Native American and his ancestors come from a different land than where he currently resides. It’s just insane that he thinks that logic makes sense. “Your ancestors are from Africa so America/Britain is not…

• Kevin Costner?

Oh fuck you

This article makes me feel truly ashamed of what AV Club has become.

It’s really weird to invoke Spacey and House of Cards about this. Spacey was an adult who was sexually assaulting minors and sexually harassing crew members on the set of his show. That’s not remotely comparable to a television showrunner deciding that a scene calls for two characters to kiss. There’s nothing…

Holy cow, are we making an issue out of this? I saw the Beyond Stranger Things episode myself and Sadie was embarrassed, but not traumatized. If you get a job in Hollywood you eventually have to pretend to kiss people you don’t love in real life. It’s how acting works. Quit grasping at straws just because you’re…

I think it’s good that they left his language ambiguous. Lucas’s race hasn’t seemed to be that big of a deal aside from the ghost busters character thing, but it would be odd if racism wasn’t dealt with in this series. A small town in Indiana in the 80s? Yeah there are going to be some racists. It would be a bit too…

I thought the alt-right already had an official greasy, orange pile of garbage that makes your stomach cramp just by looking at it

Reiser’s “Diner” reference was even more satisfying to me than all the “Aliens” parallels. Maybe, if Modine indeed comes back next season, Owens can make a glib remark about Jane/El having “two dads”?

In a way, aren’t they all actors just reciting dialogue?

MICHAEL IS CLEARLY BEING TORTURED THIS SEASON WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS
