Honestly I’m sick of how many times “Defund the Police” needs to be spelled out.

So ... ignorant of the perils of social media AND a racist? A bifecta!

It’s tough to tell from the photo because foreshortening and whatnot, but they could easily be standing at least 6 feet apart. Plus, it’s very hot day — it probably helps tolerate the wait if you don’t have to wear a mask too ...

The problem wasn’t that she said it

It is still not too late to reclaim some dignity

what was the other film you walked out on?

Welp, I do have to say that Showgirls is one of the two movies I’ve ever walked out on in the theater — literally could not make it through the whole thing.

I will star almost any post featuring the only two Bobs and Dougs that truly matter.

Yep. Kinda hard to miss with a slow pitch up the middle like that, but a shiny star for you regardless =)
