Exactly. This shit ISN’T FUCKING HELPING, CHUCK TODD. This is what Trumpo wants.

At this point I cannot engage with 40% of the country, if I try I am going to lose it. 

What people do not understand about this administration is that you cannot engage with people or respect people that act in bad faith. I think some intellectuals think that you can just peacefully engage a person and change their minds.

I mean, sure; you’re certainly welcome to try and rework what she said to fit your thesis of the adult showrunners somehow being “the boys with their crushes” preying on the girls. That’s not what she said when she was actually talking about her literal immature young costars, but go off.

The quote is from W Magazine.

It just really gives ammunition to the old Conservative talking point about “People going out of their way to be offended.” It doesn’t help and nothing is gained in this particular case. It was an awkward situation. Back when I was a kid we called that adolescence, which is all awkwardness all the time.

I wonder how much this cost to put on. Would it actually be feasible to have something like this be an actual paid attraction? I know it’s a far cry from the actual Westworld, but a LARP/amusement park with professional actors sounds like it could be fun.

No need to be a dick about it. If I had only seen the behind-the-scenes thing on Netflix without reading the actress’ comments after that interview, I’d have drawn the same conclusion.

Oh my GOD??! Did they make her hold hands with someone too ??

Facts, schmacts. Let’s just spread stories that support whatever narrative we want to push.

You are an idiot.

This directly conflicts with the girl in question’s actual statements regarding the kiss:

I thought the same thing after watching that behind-the-scenes special on Netflix, but apparently that was misleading. Have you read the Indiewire interview with Sadie Sink? I’ll quote the relevant passage:

I can’t decide which is more absurd, that you actually think it’s a good idea to suggest in the comment section of a feminist blog that a woman be held accountable for the actions/decisions of her husband*, or that you think being married for 34 years to someone you’ve frequently collaborated/worked with means you are…

The military has traditionally been where we address many of our social problems before they’re addressed in the general population. For example, Truman integrated the military in 1948. That didn’t solve racism, but it did result in a lot of PoC being treated better in the military than they were in civilian life. For…

I have heard a point made about this that I fully agree with - At no point in history has culture, technology, lifestyle, everything changed so much so quickly. So for people that are in the 25-40 age range, their lives have gone through quite a radical change from adolescence to adulthood. All of that combined with…

You want to feel old, realize all the bands of your youth are now on shitty packaged nostalgia tours that you used to make fun of Baby Boomers for seeing. My parents lost their shit when Steppin’ Wolf played the county fair and I rolled my eyes and whined. Yet, the Offspring played my local county fair last…

Ever notice people are always like “Wanna feel old? Such and such movie/show/album/song came out 20 years ago!” “When you think 1998 was 10 years ago but it’s actually 20” or “if Back to the Future came out today, Marty would travel to 1988.” Has this always happened throughout time, or have we all experienced some…
