I don't think everything is available on it. I am not a subscriber and last I checked I couldn't watch "The Handmaid's Tale." Although I am old and not as computer facile as my 16 year old nephew, so I may be missing a way to watch that with commercials.

No. The violence and poverty of their countries is what motivates them to attempt to migrate to the U.S. This is true. The attempt to cross a desert or river, at risk of death, is because the normal method of presenting themselves at the border to request asylum is not available to them as a direct result of

Not true.  They want the Army at the border, shooting people who get too close.

AOC: There is a big problem at the border where there are concentration camps

There was so much to love in this incarnation. Dot the black turtleneck bullet dodging action hero. Tick’s increasingly useful talent for getting along with parents. But the big surprise for me was Griffin Newman as Arthur. He retained his nervous disposition but kept finding avenues of competence, and instead of

DAGNABBIT!!!

Lame. I really liked this show. Damn it, people. Stop watching Office reruns!

Maybe he felt it was a diss to his acting chops -- “what, you think I couldn’t play a straight guy?” or something.

Once again, to hell with Rick Berman for a great many reasons.

Seriously. You want to be treated like a journalist, you have to act like one. When you selectively release damaging material to inflict calculated political damage on specific parties in order to advance your own interest, you’re not a journalist, you’re just a hack. And my appreciation of some of the stories he’s

I am on record as disagreeing with Assange on his failure to properly curate released material, which I have called irresponsible. Edward Snowden shares my opinion. But I don’t believe for a moment that Assange’s authoritarian detractors are sincere when they imply that it’s a lack of redactions that enrages them.

Oh, no, I totally understand the ad hominem distraction. But you’re focusing on my issues with Assange’s character, and not the way he redacted (or, really, failed to redact) documents to protect individuals during his data dumps—or the fact that he picked and chose what he revealed to suit his own political

Assange’s disclosures were messy, they made a lot of powerful people mad, and there’s a compelling case that some of then did cause harm.

Of course it is possible for children, even those who are not immunocompromised, to die from complications of the measles. But not that many.”

This is so bogus, it is just a tax on people that have to drive in to work in lower Manhattan, you know the working poor who can not afford to live in Manhattan but do all the service work, the maids, and all the trade crafts ( construction, plumbing etc..). spin it anyway you want it will be the working “middle”

This first season was a delightful surprise. Much more competent and emotionally complex storytelling than I was expecting (or maybe I was just burned by Voltron falling apart for the final few seasons before then that I was greatly lowering expectations for Netflix animation). I’m hoping the new seasons can maintain

That’d be wild if it was true, but it’s far more likely they are Republicans. You know, the party that believes in reducing taxes on the rich, and taking healthcare and social safety nets from the poor? This fits perfectly with their ideology. The only thing we’re missing is a dash of white supremacy for GOP Bingo.

Don’t these people know better than to get on a bus with Keanu Reeves? 

Do you remember the whole “sad Keanu” meme from a few years ago? People freaked out because he is so beloved, and all these stories of his kindness and being a great person were shared.

Finding out Keanu Reeves is a genuinely nice guy makes the world seem slightly less shitty.
