Every copaganda show ever has regular episodes where the main characters fight the corrupt cop guest stars. Usually there’ll be some arc where the corrupt guest stars are the chiefs or DAs or powerful people. 

Ok, so NOW we’ve rebooted every show from the 90s, right? That’s all of them?

I don’t know about most iconic but definitely still a thing. Two of them were made into musicals. 

Here’s the interview https://www.google.com/amp/s/ew.com/article/2015/10/09/bring-it-cast-reunion-ew/%3Famp%3Dtrue

Yeah, I remember reading that. Union said that they wanted her to sound like what she said was a blaxploitation character. I suppose the instinct was if the white girls are going to speak in this fake, heightened, teen slang, the black girls would too. But given cultural expectations, coming from black girls from…

I don’t know why it just occurred to me, but three of the most successful and iconic teen movies, that are still a thing today (Heathers, Clueless, Bring It On), invented their own slang.

What’s truly funny is carnivore-heavy diets have been marketed to women forever as a way to be thin.

Yeah, no, that makes no sense. This isn’t about “cancel culture” or whatever the hell. Ellen tried to hire non-union workers and her show had major labour problems and documented issues of racism. That needs to be rectified.

It’s not that either because systemic discrimination based on race, sex, sexuality are their own thing that needs to be addressed as well. The MeToo movements and the various police murders should have made that clear.

Some of the people Ellen and RuPaul stepped on are cis white men. That’s the thing about being powerful at that rare level. So you’re saying all this stuff about workers rights and workplace conditions are just a smokescreen?

I felt the same way about Bill Cosby. Of course he’s a rapist but it seemed to be worse for a lot of people that he played a public character who was opposite to that? Who cares, seriously?

Is anyone else starting to hate the way we’re talking about Ellen? It’s not “weakened unions, workplace discrimination.” It’s “OMG this lady pretends to be nice but secretly she’s mean! So fake!” As though it’s bad for the nice lady with the bland middle America sitcom no one watched to yell at a writer, but it would…

Am I the only one who likes bread pudding/pain perdu over usual French toast? You can make it sweet or savoury that way ad since it’s in a casserole all the pieces are the same and you don’t risk over or under-egging the bread. And no standing over a frying pan.  

Honestly that didn’t occur to me when I read that sentence. He’s a professional food hipster. 

I thought that sentence was so weird. Pancakes and (American) french toast and waffles are rare occasion brunch. They aren’t typical American breakfast and it’s so weird that food people, who know better, pretend otherwise.

What happens to people born on Christmas? Or February 29?

UNIONS. 

I also speak French (rusty), and did live in France ( awhile ago), but I’m pretty confident that Mignonnes is a near-direct equivalent of Cuties. 

I get it. Reminding people it’s a serious art movie and not, like, Honey Boo Boo but French. 

That’s the literal translation, yes, but it might have a different context. (I speak French OK but never lived in France). It might be used as different slang, have been appropriated to mean something different, not refer to “cute” the way it does here.
