I think most people can figure out why one might hold the UN member, proud democracy and recipient of billions of dollars in US aid to a different standard than an anti-democratic terror group that rejects all rules of decency and humanity and gets no military or diplomatic support from the international community,…

What the ever-loving hell is going on with the links in this story? The only one that links to something pertinent it to the Kansas City Star. Even the one to 1966 Impala goes to an article about the 1965 Impala.

These movies punish paying attention more than they reward it. You’re better off having as little idea as possible as to who anyone is going into it, because if you remember the plot points from the tv shows or prior movies, you’ll just be irritated that they’re inconsistent or unresolved.

They aren’t making these decisions on their own. This has all been through the courts, and the guardian is not Wells Fargo, it’s a third-party that was appointed by the court.

That’s not necessarily malign though. The major banks all have policies and training to protect their clients that might be vulnerable from exploitation. If the spending pattern is suddenly all out of whack, or if there are new people with access to the account that seem to be using it to their own ends, then they…

Because Beyonce’s doing it, I assume.

It is amazing that decency and gracious are incomprehensible to so many people nowadays. Why not say sorry if you can? Why not tell people that an apology was offered in sincerity and accepted with grace? No one is shamed by this, everyone is a better person for doing it, and here you are needing to explain it like’s…

You shouldn’t apologize, it truly was a thing of beauty.

She’s promoting a movie. It’s part of her job.

She’s right though, it is boring and she’s under no obligation to pretend it isn’t. And there is no way that the fiftieth journalist in a row asking the same tired question about what she feels about the term “nepo baby” is “researching who is benefiting from varying systems of power and privilege.” 

Yeah, I feel like criticizing the writing here is akin to ordering McDonald’s and then yelling at the staff for serving low quality food: they’re doing what they’re being paid to do, and I’m the one who’s choosing to make it profitable for their bosses. I find it hard to resist reacting though when the writers appear…

I know it’s idealistic, but click-farming doesn’t *require* bad writing, or actively getting things wrong to drive engagement. I was hoping that since Paste at one point had a more traditional print media presence they might have a retained at least some of a print media editorial culture, where someone had…

“Renee Bracey Sherman, executive director of the reproductive justice organization We Testify, questioned how Biden’s Catholic faith “can apparently excuse 25,000 Palestinians killed” (the estimated death toll has since risen to at least 27,840 as of Thursday) and “ignore the Pope’s demands for a ceasefire.”

“Also, being Catholic isn’t really an excuse to hold shitty views on abortion, when many practicing Catholics do support abortion rights: In 2020, 68% of Catholic Americans said they opposed the overturning of Roe.”

It diminishes the nature of the specific hatred Jewish people in Germany were targeted by - based on immutable ethno-religious characteristics and backed up by centuries of religious bigotry and decades of more recent pseudo science, aided and abetted by state actors, targeting an entire class of people from newborns…

If you don’t think these people’s desire to please Trump was not enough for them to come up with vacuous, ignorant and performative servility on their own, you haven’t been paying attention. He doesn’t need to ask for them to debase themselves, it’s instinctive for them at this point.

Guy is tracking her jet, not her, and he’s posting it’s movements a day after the flights. There’s no reasonable way to use this to locate where she is at any given moment.

Who are you arguing with?

I think if “Congress wants Biden to do something” then “Congress” would have voted on a motion directing him to do so. As it is, some members of the House of Representatives wrote a letter. Why write a headline that gives credit on this issue to a body dominated by the Republicans who caused it?

Whoops! Just said the same thing, didn’t see your comment.
