hey i know you wrote a bunch and i’m sure a lot of it is smart analysis but if you put ‘over-amped sjw’ in the first sentence, even if you’re right, it makes you look like a dink.

Preamble, I really like Supergirl and the rest of the Arrowverse shows and this was an excellent premiere.
That said, I hate, hate hate hate, hate hate hate the “you kept a perfectly reasonable secret and now I can never ever ever forgive you” conflicts in these shows. Fucking hate them. And holy sweet Jesus, the…

This show has literally only just aired its own series premiere. This feels like the kind of critique and thinkpiece that should come at the end of first season, at the soonest.

Setting aside their blatant hypocrisy regarding free speech, I am too. I just saw Ted’s weird stupid face in an article referencing basketball and that’s the first thing that came to mind.

Ah, I see this is your first time on the internet, welcome!

you’re ignoring all the context he spells ou for you here. Hawke was a huge star at that point in time. it was an independent film so not a big budget. nobody got paid much for the first film. but because hawke’s name was attached to it more people saw it, so she could get bigger paychecks later.

I mean, not knowing any of the behind-the-scenes stuff, it seems hard to argue with what he’s saying. At the time, Delpy had made Europa Europa and White – both brilliant films, but very few people in America would’ve had any idea who she was. Whereas Hawke had just starred in Reality Bites, Alive, White Fang, Dead…

I know at least one trunk release for a Lincoln Town Car is in the glove box. I know this because we were on a cross country family vacation, and I was in the front seat, and I casually asked my parents “What does this button do?” as I simultaneously pushed the button. (I was a kid). The trunk came open on the…

Oh, here’s a good one.

...if you’ve ever watched Before Sunrise and thought “Obviously, Julie Delpy’s performance here is only as tenth as valuable as Ethan Hawke’s,” you’re out of your goddamn mind.

Trump’s main strategy (such as it is) to fight the coming battle: don’t deny the charges—simply act as if soliciting foreign help to investigate a political rival and influence an election is extremely fine and normal.

Latinx isn’t Mexico specific, it’s a US term to indicate Non-Gendered Non-Specific Latin American groups (covering a wide range of Latin American countries of origin rather than Latin European countries.) I’m sorry if you were offended by it but it’s just a non-gendered form of latino/a.

It’s a Burfict ending.

Shiv’s outfit was the highlight of the episode for me.

If cops have to be tazed in order to use a tazer, maybe getting shot should be a part of training if they want to carry a gun, so they can differentiate between a gunshot and getting slapped. 

This is so incredibly stupid.

Here’s the thing: this all happened recently, while he was president, in his capacity as president. That matters to a LOT of people who would otherwise say (1) you can’t impeach him for crimes he did before he was president, or (2) you can’t impeach him for crimes while he was president that were personal in nature,…

As soon as a person says something like “trump derangement syndrome” I can’t take anything else after that seriously. 

Conviction on impeachment charges has no effect on criminal prosecution either way. If the Senate convicts him, he’d be kicked out of office, but that’s not in any way a guarantee that he’d be federally prosecuted for anything.

They don’t even want to try and spell Conshohocken.
