And I’m getting pretty fucking tired of their incessant “If Congress had intended this they’d have said it specifically” act, when the entire purpose of the GOP since at least 1994 has been to obstruct, slow, and break Congress to the point where it does nothing.  In this case the act in question specifically…

We are living in a very cruel period of American history.

“The result here is that the Court substitutes itself for Congress and the Executive Branch in making national policy about student-loan forgiveness.”

That 100% tracks for Kate. She was born with the same try-too-hard quirky gene as Zooey Deschanel.

you seem to have more info on this than the rest of us do, more than what’s in the article.  is there a better article you could share?

The allegations are inappropriate and embarrassing, but I have to say I find the weird ass song response the most disturbing thing about any of this (assuming there’s no actual abuse being alleged, which I haven’t seen.)

Neither of those two things are listed in the article, btw. 

you linked some...guy’s youtube video. I don’t think you understand how journalism works. I can’t really blame you for that though, as it seems to be a nearly dead medium. However, a youtube video with a clickbait title to try and capitalize on some new controversy is not journalism. There have been murders and…

I’m confused by what happened but usually apology videos are from guilty people.

I’m feeling the same way. Yes, the oversharing, and reaching out to young fans is inappropriate, and kind of gross. But is it grooming if there isn’t an intent of action?

I am an old, so I am not familiar with her work, or this controversy.

It’s funny how the world doesn’t express such disgust when women choose breast implants to feel more feminine.

I work at a bank. There’s a guy that comes in and, when you ask for his account number, says “the same one it was last time.” When we ask what we can do for him, he says “gimmie a million dollars”.  If we don’t laugh, he says he was “just being sarcastic”.

And I’m embarrassed that the son of a comedian doesn’t understand that comedians are judged by what the audience think is funny. Not what the comedian explains is funny.

I actually really love ‘The Conners’ because it still has all of the parts I loved about the show Roseanne (Darlene, Jackie, Dan) but improves on the parts that I didn’t like before (Becky is infinitely more interesting now, and, I mean, com ON - Katey Segal absolutely > Roseanne).

And I’m embarrassed that you think people would believe that paper thin excuse.

Wow Rosie is an edgelord....

Young John Goodman was a delight. He is why I tuned it. That and my age appropriate (I think she is a few months older than me) crush on Sarah Gilbert.

When I find myself sifting through a comedian’s deranged ramblings for a kernel or two of “funny,” I’m kinda done.

“We are embarrassed that people are stupid enough not to recognize Roseanne is being sarcastic,” Pentland told TMZ. “We think it’s funny that people are so stupid. Let’s stop doing this clickbait shit, we need to focus on big problems in America. Focusing on out-of-context clips is what morons do.”
