Yep, it was largely a satire/parody, etc. But, unlike, say, Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm, it also attempted to thread in “real moments” in which you were supposed to identify with, feel sorry for or root for the characters — very special moments, so to speak. So it could be a somewhat confusing mix for the…

I started watching Girls last summer so I could finally see what all the hype/hate was about.

You’re not wrong, but I get supremely ticked when women/minority creators are held to a higher standard than white guys in entertainment. There’s this double standard where when women/minorities create something, they have to include everybody else who has been historically excluded too whereas white guys have been…

I know that you cant really equate the two - character and actor, Hannah and Lena, but I mean, they both are generally disliked, and both for generally good reasons. but one of the reasons I like it is because it kind of hit me the other day, I have always been an outsider, disliked, and I feel like if I had her level…

It has so many issues, but Lena Dunham is a talented writer and it’s a really well-made show, flaws and all.

I never understood the hate on this show due to people were conflating Lena Dunham with a character she created. I remember when 30 Rock came out, and a Slate critic said that Tina Fey hasn’t been single since the Clinton administration so therefore she wouldn’t know how to write dialogue for Liz Lemon.

Jeff didn’t out Zeke as transgender to a national audience, the producers of Survivor did that.

Next time I’ll be sure to post a photo of me cutting open my own wrists in despair and sobbing with grief when I say it.

I’d be sorry to see your health insurance get cut. However, if the Dems give an inch, they’re not just selling you out but also others.

But the problem is he is trying to get Dems to negotiate to permanently increase your costs in any law.

Sucky proposition either way, but whats to say when he does this on healthcare he doesn’t try it on some other program, like Social Security?

Why is anyone playing into the narrative that the Democrats were the problem.

Is everyone forgetting that the *Republicans* could have passed this without a single Democrat getting on board, and didn’t? Why is anyone playing into the narrative that the Democrats were the problem.

Honestly? I think the Democrats should say fuck it and not give in. I feel bad for people who didn’t vote for Trump but this will mostly stick it to the people who did.

This isn’t going to work because you have the relationship wrong. YouTube is not the employer of content creators, it is the store they are sold in. Why would the store be considered the employer of the people who make the products sold in the store?

can u not

Passengers are seen filming and laughing, with some joining in, which is a lot more than I can say for the cranky New Yorkers who scowl every time a group of Showtime dancers roll up on a car.

this is actually the only correct response to the scenario

Fuck these people.

Wasn’t this a thing on the NYC subway like a year or two ago?
