A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. End of silly theory.

I really thought this was going to be a Netflix series, not a movie. Was that the case at some point? Or did I just think that because a series would clearly work better?

Yes, but then he should also know that steaks don't actually bleed. They have drained the blood from the animal. That substance that is mistaken for blood is myoglobin.

This was a very nice thing they all did. Good on them. My level of respect for Ariana Grande in particular has risen dramatically.

I would have been fine with an all female cast. Just not that all female cast. Because I care about specific people. Not just their gender.

Nope. They probably should keep not using it.

Two days before Inauguration day, Donald Trump, who claims to be a Presbyterian, was meeting with two Presbyterian pastors and decided to mention to them how great it was that he did so well with evangelicals. They told him that they are not evangelicals. He asked what they were then, and they told him they were…

I actually recommend Lovett or Leave It over Pod Save America at this point, if you keep up with the news regularly. Pod Save America is very good, but mostly straightforward discussing the issues. Lovett or Leave It has a panel of comedians and is a fun respite from the constant misery of the week.

That was not a good plan.

Well there went any last remaining shred of hope I had that Megyn Kelly's NBC show wouldn't be a steaming pile of garbage.

As far as I understand, misspellings are fine as long as they don't significantly alter the word, just like on Final Jeopardy.

Newbie actor, yes, but by that time he was already a pretty decently accomplished comedian. I'm not saying he was a full on writer. The plots were largely the same after he left, but maybe he provided some levity. Whether it be in the room, or just ad-libbing things on set. We'll just have to wait 20 years and see if…

The entire agreement was largely symbolic as it was. Everything is fucked now, but maybe in the near future, we can un-fuck it.

Maybe punch up was the wrong term to use. Pitching ideas and/or jokes to the room. Contributing to the writing. Whatever you want to call it.

Yes, but my hope is that we elect a competent President next time around, and he or she immediately mentions rejoining the accord in his or her victory speech.

Thankfully, we can't actually leave the Paris Climate Accord fully until November of 2020, the day after the Presidential Election. Hopefully America will do a better job voting for a candidate who isn't an absolute piece of shit next time.

He has to have been. The show got much less humorous once he transitioned form his regular role. Unless there were some changes in the writer's room at that same time coincidentally. I'm not very knowledgable on the behind the scenes going's on of Franklin & Bash.

Trump began his remarks about leaving the Paris Accord with some comments on the incident in Manila today. He very strongly discussed that it was a terrorist attack. Latest I've heard, the local police do not believe it was a terror attack at all, but an attempted robbery.

JBoard has a discussion post about it. People have transcribed the questions and answers in there. https://jboard.tv/viewtopic…

The instrumentation on that Chastity Belt song very strongly reminds me of the hook on Rihanna's Rude Boy.
