I’m still blown away about how Victoire only started learning English four months before starting the competition. She’s just an incredibly impressive human being.

Random thoughts:

Or people who think they’re the hero are more likely to be garbage people because they discount the agency and interests of others. For them, doing the right thing means satisfying this hero complex, in which often the only beneficiary is their own perseverance against a society that doesn’t value them at the expense…

Oh, he doesn’t, at least not any more than he ever realizes he’s a good chunk of the way towards the Frederick Forrest character too.

As usual, the Onion did it best:

So what you’re saying is, Dave Bautista and Lacey Chabert in “Lifting Love Up”, this Saturday, 9/8 central, only on Hallmark Channel.

A struggling small town gym owner may have met his match when big city lawyer for a multinational gym conglomerate comes to town to open a new gym and put him out of business. But every time she goes to find the “meat head”, she finds him doing heartwarming hobbies like volunteering at the animal shelter, coaching…

Well, I’m English, to be honest my knowledge of Tim Allen is limited to Home Improvement - which used to be shown on terrestrial TV in the UK back in the 90s - and his voice in the Toy Story movies. (Which reminds me, I never did see Galaxy Quest, always meant to). I know nothing about him personally, so I have no…

They make Elon Musk fans seem progressive by comparison. I bet the Venn diagram of Elon and Chapelle fans is pretty close.

Transphobia most certainly leads to murder the same way homophobia does, the same way anti-Semitism does. It creates a fear of the other, a feeling that they are subhuman and therefore not worthy of the same spaces that cis straight people are. Murders of trans people has trended up recently, with 2021 being the…

It’s possible this writer, who is trans, understands the real threat of violence trans people have to live under every day. You have no business telling trans people how they should talk about transphobia.

I have to think the city of Houston is losing its mind over this. 810 Bowling is in an entertainment district right in the middle of the downtown area that includes Toyota Center, a major convention center, Minute Maid park and two of the top downtown hotels. In other words, right where a bunch of tourists in town for…

“we should just stop posting inconsequential bullshit.”

yeah it’s as simple as that. he just never updated his software to reflect that ‘keanu is a bad actor’ isn’t really a joke anyone makes anymore. i imagine if i was pilled out for 20 years i wouldn’t be far off.

I completely agree. Again: “Why couldn’t this other person die instead, because I value them less” was the sort of thing edgy alt-comics would have said in the ‘80s, which carried over to mainstream comedy in the ‘90s.

If you ever hear Conan O Brien (or even Bill Hader) talk about working on SNL, it sounds really brutal. Conan specifically has said repeatedly that he has a love hate relationship with it, as the work itself he’s very proud of and he had a lot of fun, but that he was constantly near panic and the pace of the show…

This is one of the most obnoxious, bloodthirsty, self-righteous articles I’ve read on here. This almost rivals the Ellie Kemper fiasco for ‘AV Club author desperately reaches to impugn artist’s character’ vibes.

Countless actresses should be thankful for what they have and keep quiet, right? How dare they talk shop about the problematic aspects of their industry.

A lot of people complain about the show’s decline in its latter three seasons, but I attribute that more to behind-the-scenes issues (Harmon getting fired, Chase’s difficult behavior, Glover and Brown leaving, getting cancelled twice, transitioning to a failed streaming service) ruining its momentum rather than Harmon…
