The moment she was cast in the role, that’s when. Acting is collaborative, people working together to bring their personal touch, their knowledge and experience, to the final product. Do you have any idea how often actors and actresses get their part of the script and have suggestions or changes? It’s routine.

If you need special, extra-legal protections because you’re doing your job so poorly that people have legal grievances with you, you probably shouldn’t be doing that job. And that applies to ‘Johnny Law’ and his ‘qualified immunity’ as much as it does to ‘President Pettypants’ and his ‘executive privilege.’

It’s easy to see no value of other people’s work when your job is removing value from other people’s work, ie ‘maximizing’ profits. Which is why those in charge almost *NEVER* value anyone’s work except their own.

You know why this smells bad? Because the dead man is already being demonized in the media which immediately took to airing all of his past. Yet, what did he do to start this altercation? Nobody knows. We have only ‘words’ about how other people ‘perceived’ or ‘felt’ about his behavior. But we do know he did not…

Which is part of the underlying reason for the WGA strike — writers are really getting screwed by streaming platforms.

A bunch of wealthy, greedy assholes spent the last decade since the previous economic bubble-burst, robbing the future to ‘get rich’ today. And like every bubble before it, that bill has come due while the money is gone. But of course, let’s keep pretending that capitalism isn’t the cause of these non-stop boom-bust…

I mean, there is something to be said for ‘knowing where you stand’ with your racist neighbors. I can understand that and the value of it, even if most black Americans never had cause to wonder where they stood with their racist neighbors. And I’m sure, if he’d stopped there, nobody would think anything of it. But…

It’s standard operating procedure, and I wish the Dems were anywhere near being this cutthroat when it came to sabotaging GOP prospects.

Let’s be honest — Republicans politicians and their billionaire owners want voters to fear *everything*. If they could convince voters to fear breathing, they would. They look for any and every excuse they can find to incite fear, anger, and violence. It’s been their SOP for over a century. Because fearful, angry, and…

Of course, she’s going to be *SOMEWHERE* after the potential dispute and assault. It’s not as if he killed her and disposed of her body. She’s not going suddenly to disappear from existence just because she had an encounter with an asshole.

If the term ‘incel’ is a portmanteau of ‘involuntarily celibate,’ it definitely doesn’t apply a single f***ing one of these pieces of human-shaped shit, because being a human-shaped piece of shit is most definitely a choice. There’s nothing involuntary about it. And no wonder women want nothing to do with them. *NOBODY…

At this point, with this court, it’s only scandalous when these corrupt, fascist-enabling judges actually demonstrate having any ethics.

Honestly, no. It can’t be fixed, because it’s ‘working’ as intended, like a lot of the worst parts of the US Government. The best anyone has managed regarding any branches of the government, including the SCOTUS, is a brief pause before the flood of corruption resumes. And to be clear, the corruption resumed at least…

Agreed. If there’s any profession that should be a zero-tolerance gig, *law enforcement* is definitely at the top of that list. Law enforcement officers are far too often shown *CRIMINALLY* negligent levels of ‘discretion’ by other law enforcement officers and the public. And the consequences of this discretion is a…

To the oppressors, equality is oppression.

And the joke is that most DEIB efforts by colleges and universities barely elevate themselves above performative. But even that little is too much for Republicans. It’s like Americans are dying from dehydration while Republicans demand everything be a desert.

he “inglorious aspects” of US history are too divisive for college curriculum.

It’s not a question of whether it’s okay, and framing the issue that way is just as disingenuous those people who are “Just asking.” What’s truly at issue here is that there’s no *NEED* for Disney to do it. There’s no shortage of middle-eastern actresses who could have been cast as Jasmine, just like there’s no…

How has Jordan not been charged with obstruction of justice already? How can we still not be sending a clear and unambiguous message to Republicans that they are not above the law? Senator Jordan is deliberately attacking duly acting officers of the court and is actively engaged in subverting, impeding, and…

Just remember — in the Great America, if you’re born poor, you’re supposed to remain poor forever. That’s your ‘lot’ in life, to serve and be miserable. It builds the ‘character’ you clearly must lack, or you wouldn’t be poor. That’s what God has determined you deserve, and who are you question God’s will? So stay in…
