They don’t remember that he’s a remorseless cop killer, who happily murders any police officer suspected of corruption?

I am so happy to be spending NYE alone I can’t tell you. I have a bottle of sparkling wine and the TV. I will watch my show and go to bed early, because midnight will come regardless of whether I’m awake to see it or not. And I will cuddle with this big boy here:

It’s always interesting to watch conservatives attempt humor. The references are almost always hilariously out of date, the attempts at self-deprecation are usually painfully forced, and it comes across like they decided to improv the first take and then felt it was comedy gold that couldn’t be topped. It’s like…

Ajit Pai is a fuckboy.

They know they don’t need to hide anymore, so they can be as brazen as they like, gloating and tea-bagging the rest of us on their way to (rob) the bank.

“Unless it applies to the plot, it doesn’t matter” never made sense to me. There are tons of things, moments, character interactions, backstory, etc, included in tons of movies, TV shows, films, etc. that don’t have anything whatsoever to do with the plot, but provide extra context for, you know, the characters. The…

What kind of shitheads are happy to take a job from a rapist that basically involves stalking and maliciously discrediting his victims?

You lose your power over a sex worker when they leave the room. For him, it was about absolute control — a sick kind of ownership over these women’s lives.

Normally I wouldn’t count that as much, because the huge power imbalance means you could just be told to transcribe the director’s amazing man-vision made with his amazing man-brain, and you’re only really there so they can say “But we have trans writers! Our show can’t be transphobic!” when his vision turns out to be…

As a person with an irrational fear of monkeys, that pic is horrifying.

He “found” a “stray” purebred husky on the street?

I’ll wait for the definitive Director’s Cut where they show it was clearly Ryan who hit first.

For some reason old people have gotten “some people are vocally upset on Twitter” confused with “people are preventing things from being made.”

As someone who posts both places... I’m waiting with popcorn.

I don’t put anything past this administration. So we very may well be and I think, my question is what are we going to do on a personal and local level to mitigate as much damage as we can to ourselves and to our communities?

True, but Kennedy is eyeing retirement and RBG is up there in years. Gorsuch has so far proven he’s walking the conservative line, maybe more than Thomas. If Trump gets more SCOTUS picks then Jim Crow is going to be on its way at a rapid pace.

Are we returning? Isn’t the question “Did we ever leave?”

On the plus side, with their dismantling of environmental protections, everyone will be dead in less than 50 years so the new apartheid won’t really matter anyways.

Of all the episodes, Hated in the Nation seems to most lend itself to a sequel. Remember how the perpetrator was tracked down and followed by the rookie detective at the very end? What happened after that?

Huh. I'd always disliked him, but I assumed it was just based on a combination of nepotism and his "here's something you've seen before, but with a superficially new/edgy sheen to make fanboys lose all sense of proportion about it!" oeuvre. Now I can claim I was psychic.
