That's a bad definition, though. It's like saying "So you're happy your taxes support a citywide fire department? Then you're a socialist. Congratulations." Because — and it seems dumb to have to explain this, but here we are — socialism is an ideological lens that isn't reducible to a small handful of policy…

Golly. That escalated quickly.

Yeah, it's so peculiar to me that they chose a photograph taken in the present — of our current timeline! — to represent the Apocalyptic Liberal Future. Yeah, guy, that…is what the world really does look like! People who exist, riding the bus and not bothering anyone!

She could at one time. No idea if she's kept her voice in decent shape over the past decade or so.

I'd go further still: feminism requires the belief that (1) women *do not currently* have the same rights and privileges as men, and the belief that (2) this is a problem (3) that can be corrected.

The original cut had a kind of rotating chorus of voices, male, female, and child, that overlapped to create the God voice, which I thought was an amazing idea. It didn't test well, so they redubbed it with Kilmer (who also voiced Moses).

Remember when Ted Nugent said, "Yes, I'm angry. Yes, I'm outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about shooting Obama. But I know this won't change anything. We cannot fall into despair."?

I don't honestly give a shit if it's real or not anymore; I'm going to believe it til the day I die. Nothing more appropriate could ever happen to President "I Don't Know, But A Lot of People On the Internet Sure Are Saying It" than to die by that particular sword.

We're paying for so, so much.

So as long as we only need to negotiate with ranch-style nation-states, we're good to go!

This was more interesting when I was trying to figure out what Leslie Jones had to do with Will & Grace.

Jason Segal would be interesting. Have a big, bumbling galoot sort of take, instead of the jittery little Woody Allen-style neurotic.

Say it a third time and he appears…

'kay, fair enough, I may be maligning you unfairly! I just really have a thing about threads that start with "but who even KNOWS this person," when the person has a long list of credits, only then it turns into, "oh, okay, so they only do pop music/CW shows/nighttime soaps/whatever I think is trashy, that's why I…

Fine, he's rich and famous for doing a lot of television that you think you're above. What's your point?

I mean, I think it's one of those rare properties that really does get a pass for being satirical. Everyone in it is pretty terrible, except maybe Audrey I, who's just useless. The fun of it is that it's easy both to condemn Seymour (I would never murder everyone I know!) but also to genuinely enjoy the carnage…

I read recently that he's an agoraphobic. So he's probably pretty clear on why he wasn't asked to audition.

And oddly, most currently existing recordings have shitty versions of "Skid Row." Here's to one more chance to break that streak!

Holy shit, since when can Jake Gyllenhall sing? He's really good!

Sarah Paulson being completely miscast as Kristen Chenoweth, you were looking for.
