Just FYI for the higher-ups: if I click on an article and it’s one of these slideshows, I back right out again.

my best recollection of the situation is that we woke up one day and were supposed to hate her. not sure why.

By the early 2000s, a number of flight booking websites, like Expedia and Kayak, launched and made the space incredibly more complicated. Suddenly, there was not one set price to buy a ticket for a New York to Los Angeles flight, there were dozens of options.

Yeah, on top of being a decent person, as far as anyone can tell, she’s a good actor!  What was there to hate?

Even at the time I never understood what everyone hated about her.  It was all nothing but juvenile meanness and never made sense.  She’s never had any scandal or anything that would indicate she was a bad person; she didn’t deserve that.

“In space, no one can hear you say ‘no,’”

Both are big states with a lot more sociopolitical diversity than our impressions of them. Especially CA. The Religious Right was literally created in CA.

I mean...I’d absolutely let Nick Offerman be a three-term president.

I bet he did that to avoid people projecting simplistic, modern day politics on it. Especially if he was interesting in talking more about the function of a free press in a democracy. If he made it Texas and Florida, or California and New York, then the President would automatically be the other side and people would g…

Civil War is not about the military, or the President, or the origins of this particular conflict, because Garland knows that a 2024 audience is smart enough to draw their own conclusions on those fronts.

This is significantly better than what I took the film to be at face value. I’m much more interested in seeing it, which as a side note is what I used to use reviews on the AVC to think about. Thanks for a review that actually engaged with more than just a plot recap! 

You mean the website that I can’t read on my phone because it keeps reloading at random intervals?

He’s certainly slipped a bit, but Maher remains just about the only host on TV that has actual conversations with people from multiple points of view, and who will call bullshit on his own group if he thinks it needs to be done.  For that alone, he’s worth having on the air.

Okay, I’m pretty happy about this. Yes, he commits the unforgivable sin of pointing out when both the far right and far left are acting absolutely crazy instead of just the far right like he’s supposed to, but no one is perfect.

It is all Tesla’s fault. Damn, the husband is so brainwashed from drinking the Tesla kool=aid. 

I think the correct term is “been suicided”. Boeing is too big to fail. And not just in a monetary/shareholder standpoint. They are one of the key players in national defense along with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. Having them collapse would mean losing and in-house supplier of national defense weapons, not…

What? He doesn't strike me as a guy who takes himself too seriously.

Even if it was a suicide, which I doubt (why in the parking lot?), Boeing is still 100% involved in his death. 

I saw both Poor Things and KOFM. Emma Stone is much more front and center in her movie and her performance is very showy. Lily Gladstone’s performance is much quieter and for me impactful. However, it isn’t hard to see why Stone took home the Oscar. Nobody got robbed of anything.

“Robbing” is a strong and inappropriate word. It would have been awesome to see Gladstone win because I really loved her performance, but Stone’s was also really incredible, and a much bigger part of her film. The award was up for grabs especially between the two of them, and not for Gladstone to lose.
