A poet once observed that when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face, you get sprung.

I’m a huge fan of the show. I’d like to see them open the show with her funeral. Then all the episodes remaining will be about Judith Light’s character! She’s the best part of the best part of the show anyway. But if the show’s already premiering soon, I wonder, too, how they’ll deal with it.

As a transwoman who wants to adopt, this makes me so incredibly happy. I’ve always wanted to be a mom (yes, despite the stupid medical condition I was born with) and being able to connect with an infant in this way is so meaningful to me. <3

I was hoping the cop would pepper spray her. Much better ending.

You misunderstand. I’m not saying Tim Marchman actually convinced people not to vote; I’m saying that the general proliferation of the objectively-wrong “I live in a blue state so my vote doesn’t matter” mindset is precisely what caused Trump to be elected with fewer votes than Romney got when he lost his election.…

Because if Alex is going to chastise McCain for sitting around and doing nothing of substance while benefitting from grandstanding on a public platform, he should at least have the awareness that he’s the pot calling the kettle black.

Pretty sure at least one of the Deadspin Deadbrains said he wasn’t voting because he didn’t live in a Swing State, he lived in Pennsylvania.

Boy, I’m sure glad a lot of Democratic voters in the safe states of Michigan and Wisconsin felt just like Alex Pareene last November! Saved us all from being politically impure!

The point is that Alex Pareene did not say this into the depths of her closet, but constantly, on a public platform with thousands of other people. As did many of the other political writers at Gawker.

LOL, that’s completely besides the point. We’re capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, and zero people are saying Pareene singlehandedly caused people to not vote. But if you had any kind of a public platform during the election and used it to say “lol nothing matters,” you probably shouldn’t be proud of…

Good thing Pareene doesn’t have any sort of public platform then.

I guess I’m one of the mythical “undecided voters,” in that I am undecided as to whether I will vote at all. There are surely more undecided voters like me than of the other type, those civic-minded numbskulls who populate televised town halls and Frank Luntz focus groups because they are positive they will vote, but…

People aren’t seeing movies because they’ve become too expensive. In NYC, I pay on average, $15.00 a ticket. More if it’s in 3d or RPX or whatever tacked on nonsense charge. It’s a minimum of $50.00 just to sit down with my wife and kid. I enjoy going to the movies, but many people don’t have the luxury of ponying up…

Hamilton Nolan has popped open a celebratory container of Fage yogurt.

Fattest president since Taft? Fattest president since Taft.

How disgusting is it that the President of the United States is trying to pull off this long discredited Dale Carnegie bullshit on other actual world leaders?

This is so deliciously good.

So witches float and wizards sink?

Unfortunately, it looks like Trump has followed the lead of the rest of American workers who hate our jobs, by deciding to do it in the most half assed way we can get away with and not get fired
