Also Ricky Whittle getting a leading role in a great series is exactly what he deserves after the racism he had to deal with from Jason Rothenberg on the set of the 100.
Not to completely shift gears, but I’m really psyched about Gaiman’s involvement on American Gods. Great show, great visuals, great story that’s allowed to expand into areas that the book didn’t, but also has Gaiman there advocating for the type of characters involved in the story and making sure the characters don’t…
BAM!
Presidential jokes aside, I would watch the shit out of a ‘Making of 50 Shades’ movie that dramatized the friction between James and Taylor Johnson, the cold relationship between the co-stars, the weird awkwardness of shooting it and then promoting it...all of that.
Ever since he touched the orb his arms been getting longer
Doubling Down On Terrible Choices To Make Sociopaths Love You—that’s on Kushner’s coat of arms.
It’s Mike Pence’s birthday today. It’s the only day he lets Mother spank him.
The terrifying thing is that we’ve come to the point that even “progressives” are desperately clinging to the idea that the President of the United States will make a major decision impacting the whole world on the advice of his daughter. An ex-model who puts her name on cheap clothes for a living.
She is an amoral grifter, let us never forget that, and let us make her and the rest of her sociopathic clan never forget that either.
Can we use pictures of shit piles or train wrecks? His ugly mug is SO very triggering. And I may need to buy all new radios with the number of times I’m been tempted to smash them to bits upon hearing his nasal whine and the few simple vocabulary words he can pronounce.
Mother Pence, let Divine, the B 52s and the Ronettes show you some beehives:
The president sets the tone for the country. If the president does something, then that thing is ok to do. He is the president after all. So, trump has made overt racism, bigotry, ignorance and stupidity socially acceptable because he does these things on a daily basis.
Linda Tripp does not get enough blame as the real villain of the Clinton tale.
It’s like those Fox News polls a while back, where they had a bunch of statistics like “97% of poor people have refrigerators.” Uh no, they don’t own refrigerators. They have refrigerators because those are basic appliances that come with most rental properties.
Here’s a thought, Ben. Provide people with the basics. Food, shelter, clothing, education, healthcare, an equitable justice system, livable wages. When people feel they have a solid foundation in society, they will have more freedom and hope in advancing themselves. Deprivation crushes more people than goads them…
Because I am an over thinker, I have found this Onion article extremely comforting ...
“When the masseuse came out to introduce herself, she said, “Hello, I’m Lorraine.” I stuck out my hand and confidently said, “I’m Lorraine.” Wrong.”
Radical acceptance when you’ve fucked up socially is one of the hardest but most important things to learn, especially when you have this tendency to ruminate on what you’ve done and how everyone probably hates you for it.
Facebook exists to make money. Much like Penn State, the Catholic Church, any Kardashian or the Trump administration, unless there are monetary-based reasons to do something substantive, you can expect fuck all to be done. That’s how Facebook got to be a billion dollar business.
If you’re a white person, and you’re not a professor of linguistics giving a seminar on the history of racial epithets to postgrads, stop it. Stop it now. Whatever the situation, even in “irony” [and from your perspective without malice], you’ve radically misjudged the mood. Stop it.
