General Rule: No president via any medium should attack any civilian for non-violently exercising their right to criticize the president.
Specific Instance: Trump should not have attacked the cast of Hamilton over Twitter for politely calling for unity in the face of Trump's intentionally-divisive campaign.

I… I just want to live in a world where every website comments thread eventually culminates in someone composing some sort of Emily Dickinson spoofery. What a wonderful world it would be.

Am I correct in assuming that since Atlanta is on FX, it won't make its way to Hulu until a year after it airs (<—based on what they do with Sunny)? Anyone know?

Let's not underestimate rocks here. After looking around at what life accomplished on this planet, rocks are looking pretty good right now.

::gets transported to mental image of Eleanor Roosevelt in old-timey football gear, bowling over Trump's entire cabinet and scoring a touchdown for the hometeam::

Are we at the stage yet where we can just write "protagonist" in the headline? Maybe? No?

I have to say that when I saw the trailer I got really excited by the prospect of lots of chalkboard math. That's my favorite kind of math.

So I guess over Christmas my plan is to go see this alone in the theater and just cry the whole time. It seems like that's the purpose of this movie, vis-a-vis me in 2016. Thanks MarSco*!

Someone mentioned The Mission above. Also Dead Man Walking so we can get some nuns in there so the Jesuits don't get *all* the credit.

I e-mailed that article to both Schumer and Gillibrand yesterday. It will make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things. (<—things I tell myself so I can sleep at night)

Oh man being a tweenaged girl and desperately trying to find a shred of role model in TNG's female characters and then one week Sub Rosa comes on. Thank goodness I started watching DS9 before I got to the point where I was taking antique candle holders as my date to the big school dance.

The best part of the caroling plot was Holt's bomb/clock line. One of the few decent bits of relevant satire the show has done and unfortunately it got lost in its mediocre surroundings.

It was the perfect opportunity for some conveniently timed laryngitis.

High school theater kids with nothing better to do on a Friday night. Someone may have brought an accordion. Yes, we were insufferable.
