out of curiosity, why should we take anything Kristof writes with a grain of salt? I’m not aware of their work so a little explanation would be great. 

>> Autistic people should have the same professional opportunities as anyone else. Obviously. But there are other factors at play that go into casting someone.

i like bill burr’s bit about this

Intentions aside, she is making the optically-disastrous move of not stepping back and saying nothing so everyone can wear themselves out, and instead digging in and tweeting harder.

The film looks horrible. That said, I understand Sia’s frustration here. No matter what she does, it will never be good enough for some people. The easiest choice is to simply not include such characters in your film, which is often the unintended consequence of such advocacy.

It’s on ABC and it was with the other Jeopardy! GOATs -- so that’s not a deal-breaker.  If ABC wants him for the host, it’ll work out.

My dad mentioned, and I think I agree, that taking Ken Jennings on as a consultant was probably a way to ease him into the role. It makes sense -- he’s personable and smart. I wouldn’t mind him as a replacement. 

And then Scott Buck, the showrunner for those horrible final three seasons, was given the chance to ruin Inhumans and Iron Fist.

That tweet is some bullshit. Bruce Wayne isn’t “Lapsed Catholic Moon Knight.” The Judiasm is just part of the character’s angle. And he’s got as much to do with werewolves as Wolverine does to hunting Wendigo, it’s just what each character was doing in their first appearance before the writers decided they liked the…

Tell that to the billions of dollars they’ve gotten from Guardians of the Galaxy.

Well I’m sorry you don’t know who Moon Knight is, but just hear me out. Other people who are not you have.

I’m concerned that if these new videos don’t perform well, the blame is going to fall on these new chefs and Conde Nast will say, “Well, we tried giving you what you asked for and it still didn’t work!”

There’s also just the bad taste left in audiences’ mouths by the whole situation. Sure, maybe now Bon Appetit is hiring a slate of diverse chefs, but they couldn’t seem to pay a decent amount to the ones they had and still profited off their work for a long time. I foresee a lot of the original BA audience staying…

Maybe for you but some of us like the experience that a theater can offer that my house can't. At least not for the same price 

Sohla is doing videos with Babish now, they’re pretty great.

It’s going to be a hell of a burden on these young creators to pull BA back from the hole it dug itself into, and I don’t know whether Condé Nast deserves the talent they were blessed with. I don’t envy the new hosts, but I wish them the best, I suppose. The brand’s unfortunately tainted for me.

Claire needs her own TV show. I also just don't care about BA anymore. The damage is already done and they screwed up a big opportunity.

I wonder how much they paid Brad to get him back? It must be *a lot* right? He’s the only big name to come back, they must have backed a dump truck full of cash up to his house. Chris and Andy were never anywhere near as popular as he was (maybe Chris was getting there but not Andy).

I’m not sure the point you’re trying to make. Your first paragraph is saying, “Ewww, not there”. But your second paragraph suggests it’s all the same sort of thing and isn’t it silly to have a hang up about one thing and not the other.

Yeah, imagine reading about tips to do something that feels pleasurable for another human being in private.
