“Control of mass media is the first move of fascists”

As a media trade journalist since the late 1980's, I had some exposure to Sinclair Broadcast Group’s Baltimore-based executives — I can just tell you they are some of the most wacked-out, Murdoch-style Far Right monopolists and wingnuts in any American industry sector. David Smith, one of the sons of the founders and

in all honesty, and i never reply on these things, but this is maybe the scariest thing i’ve seen in a very long time. it’s not about WHAT they’re saying, it’s THAT they’re saying it under the guise of regular news. holy hell.

Exactly. I felt the entire cake plotline was completely tone-deaf and must have been written by someone with the luxury to simply go to another bakery if they’re denied service because of who they are. Not all towns have multiple wedding cake-makers. And there is a difference between a baker making and selling wedding

Thank you! Too many people think we are in a Star Wars movie and that all the “bad guys” can be blown up at once and we get a happily ever after. When that does not happen they start moaning like we are 5 minutes from the Walking Dead breaking out. It’s infuriating.

And do it on the local level! Have political aspirations? Run for the zoning board. Graduated from journalism school? Go write for your town’s version of the Springfield Shopper.

 It seems less Twitter’s fault than the people who assume verification means endorsement. Me, myself would like to know it’s the real shithead posting his hateful rhetoric so he can’t hide and say it was somebody else.

I have been hearing for years about a Judy Garland movie with Anne Hathaway and THAT would be perfect casting. Zellweger? Not seeing it.

It really is the moment where the series ceases to be a comedy, and becomes a tragedy/cautionary tale about Rory’s wasted potential.

Technically Americans - a new subjugated class of citizens we choose to care less about because most of them look different and speak a different language. See also: Brown People.

We don’t need a bounty on reasons to impeach Trump, we need a Congress that is willing to impeach Trump.

There’s nothing Evangelicals love more than a good persecution fantasy.

I’ll go with the theme music to Taxi. It was so melancholy, it made me not watch the show when it was first on the air.

Women don’t understand that men do this (the example in this facebook post) to each other day in and day out. When a woman is on the receiving end, suddenly it is a sexist issue. It’s not. There is definitely such a thing as “mansplaining”, but this is not it.

The “complication” is that Cooper dove head-first into a contest with the unknowable while thinking his mere intention to save Laura would see him through. But since the unknowable can’t be known, Cooper can no longer act effectively. There is no place to go with a sequel.

“Hearing Sarah’s voice and Laura’s scream is a twist that happened in the moment we were essentially led to believe Cooper either screwed up or was somehow screwed.”

The way I’m reading that final sequence, Cooper did screw up and he is screwed — by trying to intervene to save Laura, he’s now trapped forever in an
