Well Brent is from Chicago! (The suburbs, obviously.)

I mean, Trump’s gonna win no matter who we nominate. If that helps!

The Johnny Cash one is amazing...for one chorus and one verse. Thereafter the monotony of it becomes *mind-numbing.* 

Yeah apparently the son does get his comeuppance, which I don’t buy at all. (And which is seriously some Can’t Hardly Wait-level depiction of jockdouche karma.)

Apparently the Church of Satan and the Satanic Temple are totally different groups, and it’s the Satanic Temple that’s out there doing all the stuff we like. 

I am looking forward to never spending time with that character ever again.

The first episode was truly terrible—does it get much much better? Found it a joyless predictable slog. The last 60 seconds introduced what the show is actually about (I assume), and it was SUPER annoying that they made us go through all that monotonously awful preamble.

(Like, “oh man her ex-husband sucks and so does…

Yeah but their original statement made it sound like it was THEM who made Stuckless leave. Something about, “one of our customers heckled another customer so of course we asked them to leave.”

But now their Facebook page is down. Yesterday it was getting flooded with angry comments.

Clearly he meant Ron. 

So far I feel like he was there sincerely, and was just wrong about the plan. But maybe I’m overly trusting! 

Honestly, old people across the spectrum just really would rather hate young people than actually find out what they think.

Signed, someone who watched two 60-something white lesbian poets at a Q&A wonder sadly why young feminists won’t band together, while completely ignoring the young women in the audience who might…

“[Specific religion] would be great if it weren’t for all those [adherents to said religion] lousing it up.”

Atheism/atheists work as well in those blanks as anything else.

No no no this is not something we need a gritty reboot of! The joy of Clueless is its buoyant positivity!

Then it’s not exactly comparable to this ridiculous story they’re telling, right?

Did the dealer live there, too?

It probably wasn’t planned out in advance. Some cop--or some cop’s idiot buddy thinking he’s striking a blow for Team Blue--gets drunk and goes and kills Brown. Their cop buddies want to help cover it up so they plant stuff in Brown’s apartment. Some kid happens to get shot in Louisiana and they seize on that,…

Kinda rolled my eyes at the “Eleanor shouldn’t be leader” thing. Had any of them had any ideas of their own? I’m sure she would’ve welcomed them!

I am so baffled by their misuse of the term that I can’t imagine ever giving the show a chance, even though it sounds fine (and I love Michaela Watkins).

Kushner actually answered that in a different play, G. David Schine in Hell. 

Also my #1 favorite rom-com, and this is a delightful unpacking of why.

(But at the end it’s implied that Billy Idol is going to help make Robbie a successful songwriter.)
