The thing about Turnbull is that everyone knows he does not personally believe in any of those zombie Abbott-era policies. He's just not willing to do away with them because being PM is more important to him and he knows the Coalition won't keep him on if he does. It's a sad indictment of his true character.

Have you tried just giving them cigarettes?

Round and round it goes… Again, you can't call someone a bigot on the basis of a single quote that says nothing bigoted, and you especially can't then infer that someone else connected to that person is thus also a bigot.

It is entirely within the realm of probability that you're right, and this really is bigotry. However, given that the only window that any of us have into Jason Jones' thoughts on this issue is a mere couple of sentences that say perfectly reasonable things, it's ridiculous to immediately leap to "bigot!" There simply…

Hey! HEY! Groundhog Day was great!!!

Haaaaaahahaha. Yes I'm such a huge racist because I think you shouldn't judge people you've never met, on issues you know nothing about. Maybe I'll put a white hood over Cmdr Keen's head…

So there's a quote from Jason Jones saying he doesn't want the issue fought through the media, because people might characterise it as racist and the teachers deserve better than that. Gee! What a betrayal of progressive values! What an "unrepentant bigot"!

As always, it would be lovely to see this constantly repeated assertion backed up with some kind of properly sourced evidence, as opposed to that fucking Slate post. I'm so sick of people mindlessly parroting this meme.

Uh, do you remember when Voyager actually recast the captain in the middle of filming the pilot?

WOW THANKS I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE

Now that I'm out of bed, I watched the rest. Some of it sounds plausible, other bits not so much. Maybe Bryan Fuller really did leave because of creative conflicts with management. But equally plausible is the idea that he just had too many plates spinning at the time and something had to give. I hope it's the latter.

I pressed the stop button as soon as I saw Campea.

It's so disappointing that even when sorting comments by "Best", this retarded meme that refuses to die still manages to float nearly to the fucking top. Ordinarily I'm happy to let idiots on the Internet be idiots - life's way too short to waste precious minutes correcting people who don't give a shit about being…

You do understand that repeating something unsubstantiated doesn't suddenly make it correct, don't you? The article shows nothing of the sort. There could be any number of reasons why they don't want the school moved. You can choose to ascribe such a loaded term as "against desegregation" if you like, with all the…

There is nothing in that oft-trotted-out Slate article that says they are against "desegregation". There is a quote saying they want what's best for their kids, and don't talk to the media about it. And fair enough, too. I wouldn't talk to the fucking media about my kids either.

Ah, there it is! Anytime an article mentions Bee, someone chimes in with this. Here's my rejoinder: shut the fuck up because you have no evidence.

I really loved season 4 too. It was my virgin Buffy experience, and I was not expecting the show to be as funny as it was. Plus my genre tastes always leaned more in the direction of sci-fi, so the whole high-tech government-demon-fighters direction of the story really appealed to me and made sense in the context of…

Without having the time to go on a Google trek this morning, isn't the behind-the-scenes storyline that the actor portraying Professor Walsh decided to leave suddenly, necessitating the elevation of Adam to Big Bad, when he was mainly just intended to be her muscle?

I didn't start watching Buffy until years after it had ended. When I did, though, I started with Season 4, because my sister had all the DVD sets but that was the only one lying around. It really resonated with me. At the time, all my friends were going to university and our high school social circles were getting…

True, it was all over the map, but that was part of the charm for me! I couldn't believe that (1) someone was actually making this show and (2) CBS was actually airing it! I give them a lot of respect for letting it run it's whole season. I really appreciate bizarre efforts like that, and the casting was excellent as…
