It feels like almost a million years ago, watching Jon Stewart make one last desperate plea on the eve of the 2004 election for voters to please make his job harder. Comedy was great under Bush, but imagine how boring it could have been under Kerry.

The Trump administration didn’t do much thinking in general.

I think that he didn’t attend the one with Michelle Wolfe, and they used covid as a reason to not have it again for a while. The Michelle Wolfe choice still amazes me... how could ANYONE in the Trump administration think that she would be a good choice for them?!?

The dinner was cancelled for three years after Trump became president because he was terrified of being made fun of. So I feel like there’s at least a LITTLE truth to power going on.

You know, politics being so boring that comedians just make boring jokes about it sounds nice.

Spacey has no remorse, doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong, and so far has gotten away with it which feeds into his state of mind.

hard pass.

I would not watch a movie where Pauly Shore plays Richard Simmons, but I would watch a movie where Richard Simmons makes Pauly Shore cry.

It seems insane to me that there hasn’t been a successful trial win against Spacey. I worked as an assistant stage manager for six years in London (on fringe plays rather than West End shows) but even then many of the actors I worked with had Spacey stories, the majority of which were related to how turning down his…

I have a mild form of autism that used to be named after a German doctor who helped kill people with said condition. Less people with autism died then Jews but they absolutely were targeted and killed.

I choose not to support her because she seems to go out of her way to cause harm to a vulnerable group of people. I encourage others to boycott her work as well. If what she’s doing isn’t bullying, to you, and what I’m doing IS... not sure what planet you’re on.

Yes, don’t you understand, anyone having an opinion you don’t like is automatically bullying, even if the target of their ire is a billionaire

First of all, no. You’re wrong. Second of all, even if true, so what? They absolutely targeted trans people. It’s not about “not liking” Rowling. It’s about the fact that she’s a bigoted piece of shit.

By “normal people” I think you mean ignorant assholes. And, yes, the world is full of them.

Is it really bullying to say “don’t buy a video game because the billionaire owner of this franchise is not a serious person”?

Worth it for Severance.

When can we expect people to “grow up,” though? Taylor Swift is in her mid-30s, and a lot of her fans are the same age, and have been following her like a role model for their own lives. The culty zealots include post-collegiate working adults with daughters of their own. This isn’t naivete. These women are insane.…

Once I commented online that I thought a new Taylor Swift song was “pretty good.” Then I mentioned a few of her earlier songs that I also liked.

Swift cultivated plenty of this herself by playing up the underdog angle for the first decade of her career despite being a 2-time genetic lottery winner by being skinny-blonde “traditionally beautiful” and being born into wealth. Got to near aaron rodgers levels of “everyone’s doubting me”, despite what ticket, album…

a growing number of online Swifties have begun proliferating conspiracy theories regarding what one fan described as a “full on media takedown attempt.”
