YUP. My first thought when I read this was: Is Laverne Cox busy?

To put it in canon terms, everybody wants to be the Rebel Alliance, and nobody wants to be the Empire.

Have you ever seen the way some women who wear burqas are dressed underneath, or talked to women who wear them about how they dress? There’s often some high fashion going on under there, all of which goes unseen by everybody else out in the world.

Bingpot. We tell ourselves many fictions to soothe the sheer existential panic that would engulf every living human if…

The one thing I didn’t get: “This woman is already thin! Why is she so obsessed with exercise? It must be because her husband abuses her!”

Oh, FFS, sure, let’s judge what some guy we know absolutely nothing about gave his girlfriend, who we also know absolutely nothing about. Maybe she’s an exercise fiend who was THRILLED with the gift. Fuck’s sake. Buncha Internet busybodies clucking down their nose at people.

Is it? Is it such a stretch that someone would do this? People film FUCKING EVERYTHING. I have friends who post to their Instagram story every time they do a rep of one barbell exercise at the gym. Being self-obsessed enough to film the whole damn thing, and then wanting someone else to watch it, is, like, the most…

I can’t help thinking there’s a gap between the way Picard is now, and the way he once was

I’m also going to guess that, were the African-American community to embrace their right to bear arms in any sort of numerically significant way, we’d see the conversation turn pretty quickly, just as it did in 1967 thanks to the Black Panthers’ push for black people to arm themselves in California.

Well, I mean, first, I should point out that I was being a bit hyperbolic. Of course I understand what the subjective nature of the appreciation of art means. I was merely commenting on the fact that, when the critical mass of people who appreciate something that I don’t reaches a certain level, particularly when it…

Wellll...that, and the amount of Bernie people (and others) who bought into the “Hilary, Trump, what’s the difference???” nonsense. Looking at you, Susan Sarandon. 

You know how there’s all this talk nowadays about how we can’t agree on a shared reality? This is how I feel about the Strokes. I saw them on New Year’s Eve in NYC, and people around me were going BANANAS, but I was left kind of flat. They dropped this new song, and I’m reading comments calling it INCREDIBLE ZOMG, and…

Yes, they owned themselves...straight to the White House. So owned.

I’m sure the couple of little jokey-jokes about VFX at a 3-hour industry circle-jerk that not a ton of people watched, anyway, will negatively affect that side of the business, and that producers will now shift back to puppetry, matte backdrops, and using real fire. 

Just out of curiosity, did you see the movie?

That the steaming pile of shit that is Suicide Squad is going to end up making more money than this vastly superior and more enjoyable film is further proof we live in the darkest timeline.

I mean, he gets her back through convenience and circumstance, but he’s able to stay with her through growth. There’s a whole scene about it. I think it’s kind of weird to look at that movie and say Rob hasn’t changed or grown at all by the end. He more or less describes his growth at the end in fourth wall-breaking…

This film needs a push for dudes to see it the same way Little Women did. It may be “a girl’s-night-out movie,” but I’m a guy, and I loved the shit out of it. It was my favorite DC film since The Dark Knight, and it’s not particularly close. Big props for shouting out the way the fights are choreographed and shot -…

[Insert comment here about how you beat me to making exactly this point.]

I just...I can’t understand why Y is so hard to make happen. Talk about a premise made for the times, with an elevator pitch that basically goes, “Orange Is the New Black meets The Walking Dead.”
