What bothers me about some of the recent discourse about this show is that it acts like we could never have known the show wasn’t “progressive” enough without knowing what the writer’s room looks like. I watched the first few episodes, which includes one about “gaydar”, one about a false sexual harassment claim, and…

Best I can find 0.6% of Canada’s population are people of South Korean descent.

Maybe I’ll check it out. For what it’s worth, Eighth Grade was one of my favorite movies of that year so it’s possible he isn’t as annoying as his ‘musical comedian’ shtick would suggest.

I haven’t seen it but that’s the feeling I was getting even from the description.

I definitely interpreted that song as being more about the never-ending need for public figures to scourge themselves for past jokes and missteps, and the near religious fervor for people having completely unproblematic pasts.

I know this site’s been trending this way for a while, but this week especially, it’s stopped feeling like an entertainment site, and started feeling like a visit to the morality police, so I might have remove to my bookmark and stop visiting for the first time since 2001. That’s okay! Things change. I guess I just…

I’ve increasingly noticed pop culture writers, particularly of the younger Millennial/Zoomer variety, tending to assume that everyone is just as Always Online as they are. 

“Yoon wrote on Twitter in response to Doyle: “Dear sir, as an Asian Canadian woman, a Korean-Canadian woman w more experience and knowledge of the world of my characters, the lack of Asian female, especially...”

The fact that she was 26 (not some 15 year old edgelord troll) when she told a child who was groomed for sex by a 50 year old predator to kill herself and that she hates her...is fucking disturbing, jokes or not.

she’ll move on from this and be fine

I’ll buy cancel culture as a real, pervasive force the day Mel Gibson (or really, pick from a long list of walking pond scum) either is finally forced to stop working, or shows real contrition.

Unless we’re saying she was completely without agency, Tammy Faye aided and abetted that con man for years. I love Jessica Chastain, but I have no interest in seeing Tammy Faye “humanized”.

Oh that’s easy. In capitalism, man exploits man. In communism, it’s the other way around. (old Soviet joke)

Here’s the real story-----Speaking during his trip to Tulsa, Okla., to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, President Biden made the following comment: “The data shows, young black entrepreneurs are just as capable of succeeding given the chance as white entrepreneurs are. But they do not have…

This feels a lot like someone’s career hasn’t gone the way they planned, so maybe let’s stir up some old shit and see if she can be relevant again.

Biden’s doing the best thing he can for Harris in giving her a damn good resume of experience for when she runs for the seat on her own. Want the top seat? You’re going to have to show you can prioritize which of the tasks you’re burdened with get completed in a timely fashion and rely on your number two running mate,…

Biden is indirectly admitting he can’t make any progress through congress with the parliamentary rule of 60+ filibuster in place.

Yeah this is some lazy trifling shit right here. So I guess you missed the part where Biden called out Joe Manchin & Kyrsten Sinema yesterday for hampering his efforts on voting rights and other things. I mean really I know you black blue checks really think you all are doing something but you need to quit. Clout is…

President Weekend at Bernie’s is willing to sign his name to the group project knowing that he didn’t do any of the work.

West London born and raised. I know the neighborhood because I grew up in one just like it and lived in ones just like it when I moved to NYC. I know what happens in them, and there are plenty people roving around shooting.
