Sadly, this is 100% textbook behavior of what recovery therapists refer to as “flight to health”. The grandiloquent epiphanies, entering a serious romantic/sexual relationship, the recovering addict impregnates their the partner, and the addict elevating the partner to savior status are all enormous, post-active addict…

1) Linda Tripp was portrayed as an unlikeable beast in the 90s and seems identical here - not sure what’s being “reconsidered.” And bitching about a pay raise to work at the Pentagon? WTF? It’s far easier to commute there than the WH thanks to the bus and metro lines.

The Whitewater saga has to be one of the stupidest fucking scandals ever. It’s so complicated and full of innuendo which never went anywhere in particular, yet became a springboard for all sorts of other bullshit.

Joe Rogan is nowhere near smart enough to be a Boeing engineer, but. 

Alternate interpretation: Joe Rogan got horse worms from doing something that exposes one to horse worms, and he took horse worm medication for that.

Why does God keep taunting us by infecting the worst among us and then letting them recover through their wealth? 

I KNOW Sarah Paulson truly doesn’t give a shit. She’s being forced to make these statements but insipid, ridiculous liberal pod people finger pointing screechers. Fuck them. These are the liberals who give sane liberals like me a bad name. Every day, another celebrity is forced to capitulate. Their agents hand them…

I get the evolution of concern here.

There was a time, within our great-grandparents’ lives, where white actors wore blackface. When that phased out, they still had white guys playing Asians, within our grandparents’ lifetimes (John Wayne as Genghis Khan; Mickey Rooney as whatever the fuck that was in Breakfast At…

regrets? no.shit.

Cultural appropriation!

I just don’t get out of the many, many actresses who fit the physical description of Tripp who can get the role they decide to go with “Sara Paulson in a fat suit” as literally the only person who could do it.

Is gaining weight for a role just as bad as wearing a fat suit?

To be fair, Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court and had all his debt paid off. 

What’s so weird to me - and I do have to give him credit for pulling this part of the move off - is how easily and successfully he rebranded himself as “the producer of Jeopardy!”, and how well that’s stuck. My generation will always know him as the host of “Beauty and the Geek” (i.e., kind of the epitome of what’s…

Someone once suggested Paul F. Tompkins for host. We need to amplify this worldview as much as humanly possible.  

Josie and the Pussycats is a good movie and the only reason I think it was not a hit when it came out is because it had *actual commentary* rather than just “cartoon characters, but played by real people”. Charlie’s Angels was successful and that offered nothing beyond the show; people were satisfied with three women…

This isn’t even the only piece of Hillary Clinton alternate history out there. Besides the normally expected stories where 2016 went differently (It’s a background point with little impact on the plot, but Verity’s universe in William Gibson’s Agency is one), there’s stuff like Curtis Sittenfeld’s “Rodham” that…

Well there it is, a sentence I genuinely never expected to read and don't even know what to do with.  Hillary Clinton reading In Search of Lost Time while eating a hot dog.  I have no words. 

This whole thing feels like it was made up by the Onion

I love the Yosemite Samesque Angrish he did because he couldn’t say the things he was allowed to in Goodfellas.
