I don’t know much about Olivia Colman (apparently she’s far more massive a star in the UK), but that was one of the least pretentious or annoying Oscar speeches ever.

Coen Brothers furiously tweet Spike Jonez’ address.

And the acceptance speech for Best Picture, a movie who’s script was written by a bigot, directed by a man who whips his dick out in public, and was based on a dubious account of said bigot’s father of how he was made not racist anymore because he knew a black guy for more than a week, failed to mention Don Shirley at…

I guess that if you want justice in this modern age, you’d better be a documentary filmmaker.

if Jussie Smollett’s situation causes you to doubt future survivors, it’s safe to say you didn’t care about them to begin with.

And again, today, as every day, I peruse the day’s news, scratch my beard, look to the heavens, extend my arms, and scream “how in the ever-loving fuck is anyone dumb enough to listen to this bullshit?”

I understand if you’re too impacted by the one gross character to give any others a chance, but it is your loss. His Silicon Valley character is a tremendously skilled and endlessly compassionate and empathetic person who has been deeply scarred by childhood trauma and I’d like you to imagine a show in which that…

Sigh. I miss O’Neal.

Iannucci, Woods, and Laurie teaming up for an HBO scifi comedy? I’m all in on that. Laurie made some amazing comedy with Stephen Fry before he was Dr. House, Iannucci is Iannucci, and Woods? That guy fucks.

If I remember correctly, you’re supposed to post a picture of Peter Dinklage with a hula hoop.

People lie about crazy shit all the time. All kinds of people. It doesn’t necessarily mean they have mental problems.

A local conservative radio show just tonight had a caller say that we shouldn’t classify anything as a “hate crime” anymore because of this.  No more hate crimes, just crimes.  Jessie just went and fucked everything up for everyone else that really needs help. 

The absolutely worst part of this if it’s fake is that it will forever damage all the legitimate bigotry related attacks that take place.

You tryin’ to tell me that some police procedural shows get off on inserting topical references into their episodes?

How was it ridiculous from the beginning? I admit now it’s looking a little fishy but you can’t say it seemed ridiculous from the beginning. A lot of bad people do horrible shit that seems like shit out of a cartoon or comic book all the time. Not that even this seemed that far fetched in the first place. 

Great way to further fuel the Right’s call of bullshit on real problems we have.

It’s kind of glossed over that genealogy sites are giving their customer’s DNA to police to search through. I kind of think there should be a warning on the box.

I can understand; they need that extra time for the interminable 30-minute section where they bring a bunch of randos in from the street to gawk at the celebrities, and the celebrities can pretend to be gracious and friendly by taking a selfie with the loudest commoner.

Can’t wait to see which people still find what happened to be too “on the nose” to be believable. Or don’t understand why a gay black man wouldn’t want to give away his phone to the CPD. Or don’t understand that Chicago is a liberal city but there are still MAGA people here (and a bunch of tourists).

Last year, Gizmodo Media Group editorial had layoffs. But because we’re unionized, we were able to get a seat at the table to ensure that we were all kept informed, and we convinced our parent company Univision to instead offer buyouts, allowing those who wanted to leave the company to leave by choice (with 4 months…
