Yeah, but, like...if the cops are ordered to neutralize you, and in self-defense, you kill three cops, you’re still going to prison. 

OK, I just saw this. I have such mixed feelings. I agree with a lot of what’s written, here, but I found the pervasive voice-over narration HORRIBLE. Rather than Apocalypse Now, it recalled for me the theatrical cut of Blade Runner - a constant stream of telling rather than showing that felt, weirdly, like a way to…

Fleabag, and anyone associated with it, should win everything, in every category, even the ones in which they’re not nominated. I mean, I know it’s ostensibly a comedy, and all, but if you can look at the back half of Season 2 and say that Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sian Clifford, and Andrew Scott didn’t do some of the…

I guess they’ll have to expand the list of classic blunders. 

I mean, that’s great, and I’m happy for you, but unfortunately, not everyone shares your rapier wit. It’s, like...I speak and write fluent Spanish, but that doesn’t make me think everyone should communicate in Spanish because, duh, it’s easy, and *I’ve* never had a problem with it. 

Typically, if I were concerned there might be confusion on the matter, I’d say, “Thank you all.”

It really has depended for me, and it also really depends on the writer or speaker properly providing context. A problematic example that jumped out to me at one time was an article about the whole controversy that surrounded the band PWR BTTM a couple of years ago. Both members of the duo preferred “they/them”…

I still wish we could invent singular, gender-neutral pronouns. Yes, “they” and “them” are perfectly acceptable, and I’m not one of those assholes who’s against their deployment in this regard. But using them (the pronouns) to talk about them (a group of people) or them (a single person) requires an extra degree of…

Duca has “been criticized for not practicing what she preaches, behaving like she’s above reproach, and for having the capacity to be quite cruel.

OK, so...Marah, I generally love your work, but a couple of things here drive me crazy, and as someone who’s worked a lot in this field, I have to say it:

Quality kinja, right here.

I mean, this is colloquially going to be called “The ‘cock,” right? Like,

Because where the people are isn’t what determines who wins the presidency, as unjust as that is. 

That’s because Republicans will vote for a fucking fencepost that has become sentient and moonlights as a fucking rodeo clown if it will help them hold on to some scrap of power and advance their agenda. Look at Roy Moore, who just baaaaarely lost. Democrats don’t do that, and the idea that we might not end up in a…

Looking forward to all the “free speech!” outcry, as if being a cast member on SNL is a constitutional right being unjustly ripped from this jamoke’s grasp.

Great job two weeks ago, Internet!

It’s such a weird written tic, and I feel like people use it, now, even when there’s no reason for it - like, “Hey, what time do you want to meet on Tuesday night?” “lol 7:30.”

Social media The Internet was a mistake...

Oh, I disagree, again. The thing that detonates the bomb (SPOILERS FOR A 40 YEAR-OLD BOOK) is the remnants of the ball of energy that Flagg had summoned to silence a dissenter. That dissenter wouldn’t have spoken up if the spectacle of Larry and Ralph’s execution wasn’t going on, and if Larry and Ralph hadn’t spoken…
