Let’s not forget her other pop culture “cameo”

I mean, yeah, anyone following the news can point out how weak and plain weird the prosecution’s case was.

Thanks for this piece. I don’t often get to humblebrag: my first published article is on Powell and Pressburger’s  The Red Shoes. Scorcese calls these works “pure film”. There is so, so very much more. If Scorcese’s first exposure to the film was in black and white, seeing TRS in Technicolor must have been euphoric.

“Max” does have name recognition, but the problem is that is is more immediately associated with their competitor Cinemax.

Its almost, as if, someone realized that MAX is a stupid name with zero recognition. HBO, on the other hand, is a 51 year old institution that has been making original programming since the 70s.

I can’t believe that dumb “syfy” branding has lasted all these years.

It had musical scenes but was not a musical.

Even her favorite example, cis women who are assaulted by trans women in bathrooms, is a total non problem when compared with trans folk being harrassed and assaulted for daring to use a bathroom in public.

Rowling is doing an amazing job getting into arguments with people infinitely more likable than she is.

She got rich and famous by writing a very easy to read pastiche of a bunch of other works, thus she has an outsized sense of her own talent and importance. 

“Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the transphobes!”

I used to think she was just misinformed but the obsessiveness and paranoia points to her having major mental health problems now.

Just imagine how fucked WB’s finances are that they’re still hanging onto doing business with her.

This is primary season. This is when the party is supposed to hash out who is the best candidate to represent their party’s platform and ideas. The Republicans have chosen Trump, which is depressing but isn’t new. There’s an idea that any criticism of Biden today means that the person won’t support the nominee in…

The Democratic Party is absolutely incompetent. At a certain point, you have to wonder if they even want to win.

Yup.

If Trump gets back in to the White House, American democracy is over.

I hate to say that I feel the same way. Biden had such a low, low bar and missed it. Beyond the delivery, the answers were all over the place even accounting for the stumbles and mistakes (there were many) there was little substance to the answers. trump bloviated like the lying asshole he is, but he at least seemed…

It was an atrocious, humiliating performance for Biden but now I’m more optimistic than I’ve been in months.

That went worse than I even considered, and I’m a pretty negative guy.
