I know George Segal wasn’t the biggest star on the planet, but he did get an Oscar nomination for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and was a part of a couple of long-running sitcoms. He has a few more acting credits than fucking Prince Philip, I’m pretty certain.

No button in the history of buttons has ever received less use than the one on this site labeled "Load more slideshows."

“They wanted the pretty white people to ride off into the sunset together,”

1) Because it’s watched by the same boomers who love NCIS and Blue Bloods and The Closer and whatever other milquetoast nonsense appeals to people like my dad.

He does come off poorly in that article. It reminded me of the Miles Teller feature.

The article makes this exact reference.

Being Jewish AND one who considers themselves Progressive/Left, yes there is anti-Semitism on our side. No, it’s no where near what exists on the right. Nope, not talking about any topics relating to Middle Eastern geography. More like, when you have a movement dedicated to holding power responsible - especially…

*progressive, anti-racist Jewish person makes a point about occasional tolerance of anti-Semitism in progressive, anti-racist circles*

Seriously, lordy mercy is this take off. I’m pretty far left and emphatically believe that criticism of Israel’s government is in a separate circle from antisemitism, but hoo boy are there folks on my side who live in the middle of that Venn Diagram.

My thoughts exactly. I did not see a smidgen of Jordan Peterson in Mencken but I thought immediately of Hawley.

Why? If you had paid any attention to the trial it was obvious he was going to be found not guilty.

That's a strange thing to say. This is the first comment I've ever made about this case, anywhere.

I get that people are upset, but this is unacceptable hyperbole and dishonesty by Ruffin, and only helps fan the flames. Blaming the jury for following the law is appalling.

There are a LOT less than 10,000 of those Maniacs.

I personally am still shocked and angered to find that there are no horses in A Band of Horses. It’s not only a failure of representation. It’s also false advertising.

It never made any sense for Greg to risk losing a $250 million inheritance by staying with Logan. He’s bumbling but not a complete fucking moron.

Did I miss a different cut about Nomadland?  I thought their take on how much fun working at Amazon is was a complete sell-out compared to the book, in which it is made clear that those jobs are body and soul-crushing.
