I don’t want to defend this officer in any way, but it sure is surprising the swiftness with which this action has been taken, how quick the condemnation and disavowels came from her own force. Wonder if her being a woman has anything to do with it. The thin blue (male) line.

Shaun King posted on Facebook:

So she didn’t just shoot him despite the fact that his hands were up. She shot him BECAUSE he put up his hands?

Yes. How “strange” that a black man, when confronted by a cop, would put his hands in the air. It couldn’t possibly be that he wanted to preemptively signal that he was unarmed, given that so many other black person-cop interactions turn deadly without provocation.

That seems like... kind of tempting fate to have on something you’re driving.

Soooo, that is my license plate frame. I realize many other people also have it, but to me it’s a tribute to Wash (who totally survived but there just wasn’t a follow up movie/season to explain how).

Yeah I almost ordered one, then decided crying every time I opened the trunk would be the result.

By voting, we all become Avengers!!

I would’ve gone with Chrissy Seaver from Growing Pains for the wayback reference but points for Joan Collins.

I’m so afraid to introduce Buffy to my bf because I am afraid he will like it any amount less than a ton, and then we’ll need to split up.

but Tom Lenk!

Tom Lenk is a treasure.

ANDREW! IT’S ANDREW!!

Couldn’t we just get Murk Ruffalo to do this instead?

Loved Don Cheadle’s line about Trump: “a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society” 

I guess it’s inevitable given the premise of the show (“stars” covers a lot of ground) that they are going to be pretty heavily mismatched. There used to be (still is?) a reality TV show in Canada called Battle of the Blades where they pair retired pro hockey players with retired figure skaters to do pairs figure…

Yeah but it’s 90s dancing which today is basically your Zumba class at the Y.

Agree. Please keep posting Laurie’s clips because I don’t want to have to trudge through watching this infernal shitshow just to see her.

Exactly so. I’ve never watched a single moment of this show but for that video, and she looks exactly like the professional ballroom dancing I’ve seen (not that I’ve seen much). I don’t even want to watch the rest, she has to win it right? I love her so much.

Ok ABC. Just end the competition now, give Laurie the mirror ball trophy, and give us 8-10 weeks of Laurie and Val dancing for an hour.
