I mean but somehow it also makes it more insufferable. And I say this as a person who both enjoys reading and supports the exercise of writing fanfic.

So he’s using his own fan-fic version of the historical Aaron Burr to make the point? Eesh.

The only good that would come out of this is these vile people get slapped with fines (or jail time) for animal cruelty and their disgusting establishments shut down permanently. Then put the big cats in the care of people who actually give a shit and aren’t sociopaths.

But he has SISTERS. There are women in his life he sees as objects of his care and protection. How can he POSSIBLY hate women?!

Weatherly texted the head of CBS Studios that she had a “humor deficit” and that “he didn’t want me on the show.” She was fired the next day.

Before a man intervened, he was letting a stray mother cat and her kittens starve to death in the desert trapped inside a crate so that he could feed them to his tigers. But tee-hee, cute, he’s so quirky and wears those shiny shirts!

“No, not a well! That’s the thing that Jews poison!”

This is shitty in all sorts of ways, obviously.. but one aspect I also hate is that all the hand-wringing Evangelical Christians who claimed he was this awful person because of his edgelord act are now correct. His personality and actions are apparently just as shitty as his act.

I think it’s interesting that Miranda is directing it and has expressed great admiration for “RENT,” and his own smash musical “Hamilton” hasn’t aged that great either. Not like “milk,” but.. I dunno. Juice left out too long?

this better get at least 30 stars

Yikes, I was hoping they would avoid falling into the pitfalls of just going for a nostalgia grab, but this sounds worse. One quibble I have:

Producing a comedy show with all the self-importance of signing the Declaration of Independence rarely makes for compelling narratives.

If ‘only’s and ‘just’s were candies and nuts, then every day would be Erntedankfest.

Holy shit this sketch. It’s one of the most brilliant ones SNL has ever done - it’s daring, poignant, furious, funny - and it makes the right people uncomfortable. Props to Cecily Strong for telling her own story through the guise of buffoonery. I think my favorite line was sort of a throw-away one. “What the DICK?”…

I was at a friend’s house party a few years ago and the husband of my friend was like “let’s order pizza,” and I said “where from?” and they said “Papa John’s,” and I said “that’s not pizza, dude.” His reply was, “well we can’t afford to get some fancy indie restaurant pizza.” Apparently the corner pizza shops run by…

I read somewhere that the people who made “Tiger King” wanted it to be “The ‘Blackfish’ of big game keeping.” Except that “Blackfish” took a subtle storytelling approach in which the horrors slowly unfolded in front of you, until you had no choice but to feel revulsion at the spectacle of killer whale exploitation…

I miss Lorenzo Music

I had a housemate we had to kick out because she secretly stopped taking her medication and she was doing things that were endangering the rest of the people in the house, not to mention creating a terrible environment for the rest of us by not communicating and slowly disintegrating mentally. Turns out she’d been in…

That “white people congratulating themselves and feeling superior after watching it” thing is the sense I get from a lot of “Hamilton” goers. They can clap and cheer at the line “Immigrants! We get the job done!” and then do nothing to affect change in the systems that marginalize them after they leave the theater.

I like that it’s telling the stories of POC queer people. More of that perspective needs telling, regardless of the quality of the movie.
