A bit late, I'm discovering the music of Michael Kiwanuka (no, I haven't seen Big Little Lies). How can this guy—and any other fantastic artist—exist in the same universe as Donald Trump? Human beings are truly amazing, in their range. Anyway, the two live performances here—"Cold Little Heart" and the title track of…

That's why they're called Show People. Because they show what's in their heart and mind, whether you like it or not! That was awesome.

Does he have any law enforcement experience? FBI staff won't like a guy who has no idea of the job, and being a Trump toadie. If he gets it.

If you're a fan of Nora Ephron you've probably already seen Everything is Copy, the great documentary made by her son for HBO. If you just like romantic comedies, like writers, strong women, or like interesting people with rich lives, watch it.

Very funny hilariously playing against type in the pretty good Santa Clarita Diet.

You can't trust liberal academia. They have a well-known Charlie Hunnam bias.

Iran presidential election tomorrow. Relative moderate Rouhani vs. conservative cleric Raisi. Only one will leave the Thunderdome. Hopefully voter fraud won't be that bad!

I would very much pay to see that.

You could watch it as part of the story of Trump, and the history of the right. There's a part where Trump and Stone know Roy Cohn and learn a lot from him. There are eccentric tidbits like one of his homes having, according to him, the largest private Nixon memorabilia collection. He worked as a kid for and loved…

I saw the new Netflix documentary Get Me Roger Stone, about the dirty trickster, what he wrought (think Roger Ailes but without the sexual harassment and number one cable news channel), and the 2016 election. The filmmakers follow him around that season, and have interviews with Trump and Manafort. Alex Jones and…

Take it from me, being hated makes you turn towards hamburgers for comfort, and pretty soon you get obese enough that you die. That's a fact!

He is survived by the dumb, hateful country he helped sire.

And the Trump echoes continue. Alternative facts and Vargas, having shady Russian connections, using antisemitism to manipulate rich idiots. Let's say he's like Roger Stone or Manafort.

My feeling is: if she (and he) were a monster, the show would fail at everything it's been showing and doing. The showrunners have said on the podcast that they like Elizabeth and Phillip, and work to write the show so that the audience likes them too. While also hating what they feel they must do, and presenting it…

Seriously, why are these trailers—they are trailers—five minutes long? A TV critic won't have an idea of what the show is with a five minute trailer vs. a two minute trailer, either. Even if it were an interesting show, I wouldn't want five minutes of spoilers.

I can't muster up an argument after that emotionally draining scene, but the scene right after contradicts that she's "basically evil". She did a very evil act, but she, more than any other killing previously, hated and was sick doing it. From day one, the tragedy of the character has been that she's put her country…

The AV Club ran its question of which scene did you find nauseating* a few days too early. After the series wraps up, I hope Keri Russell does a cheery comedy lest very stupid, ideological people think she's her character and she gets death threats. I hope Sepinwall has been reading Adams' defense of the slow burn…

Ugh, dude!

The Trump administration is a good ego test: if you think YOU'RE the one that can do the job when other's haven't been able to, you probably have too high an opinion of yourself and a concomitant false sense of reality.

Every fortnight, not being very forthright.
