Dammit Chandler! Now I'm hungry!

The first season held up remarkably well during a recent re-watch, certainly better than remembered. The over-the-top nature of the material and some of the performances really didn't take root until later. They did a really good job, too, of showing the forks in the road for both Norma and Norman; their tragic…

I probably smell like sulfur

The thing is the false premise of having to choose a side without gathering information. The press was guilty of pandering to that mentality to an extant but most of it comes from the more extremist factions of both parties. And again, it is not based on a philosophy or core beliefs, and it certainly has nothing to do…

Part of the problem is people expect to be informed but are not very anxious to gather information for themselves. As a "consumer" of news, you have to find it and make sense of it; if you're not going to put in the effort, you may as well not bother.

Of course they can't trust the media -

If he is your idea of "brilliant," you should try expanding your horizons. Being an asshole isn't an intellectual exercise. You might want to try reading a book, rather than Facebook posts and comments sections.

In my personal medical opinion, I'd say he's more like a hemorrhoid.

You really should heed your username.

Couldn't disagree more. "Go fuck yourself" is an inherently logical reply to crazy talk. If anyone wants to make a reasonable argument for what they believe in, no problem. But, making outrageous statements with no basis in fact, not listening to opposing arguments and off-handedly calling those other opinions…

Obviously you haven't been paying attention. WikiLeaks released weaponized data dumps as part of a larger operation to influence the election. It was by no means an effort to effect transparency as is their supposed reason for being.

James has gotten a lot better, especially after he was no longer the requisite love-interest and became his own man.

What took you so long? Welcome to the end of the world club, cuttles!

It IS confusing - intentionally, I'm sure; what better way to identify with the character? You get a feel for things but it's more like tracking a butterfly than watching a series of events happening in a logical order. That it pushes you away while pulling you in deeper is nothing short of expert storytelling… and,…

Susan Sarandon was on All In tonight. She was stoned, not saying outright but Worth it! and Bernie would have…!

The show is walking a narrative tightrope that seems like it could slip at any moment but is actually very sure-footed; it's making us have to watch and think about it, even after it is over. I know at some point - probably sooner rather than later - I'm going to have to go back and watch the show from the beginning.…

It was an "erosion of trust." Come on, that sounds scientific!

after spending the weekend talking to friends who work in dc i can safely (well, 'accurately'…) post the following things:
1-the russian dossier on trump is real. 100% real. he's being blackmailed by the russian government, not just for being peed on by russian hookers, but for much more nefarious things.
2-the trump…

Who better to be National Security Advisor than General Betrayus?
