I thought the last 10 months would have been sufficient warning about the dangers of replacing a competent black man with an inexperienced and unqualified white guy, but here we are again.

As a man, Franken has me really conflicted. I’ve been an admirer of his work in comedy and politics for years and would credit his books as giving me a lot of my political interest since he put out info in a way that appealed to me.

I agree nuance needs to be part of the discussion. All sexual harassment and assault is bad, there’s no question of that. But there are gradations of how bad. If we assign a “bad as it can possibly be” label to gross comments at work, we have nothing left for the likes of Ted Bundy.

I feel like there is a fine line here between saying “give him a pass” to “he did this, it sucks, and he needs to face the consequences for his actions.” and saying “he should resign, the shit stain”. Like there shouldn’t be, they seem very different stances but somehow you land in one of the extreme camps.

That’s what frustrates me so much, to be honest. Like, the history of Hollywood is nothing but proof that a huge amount of actors are replaceable. And sure, maybe Kevin Spacey never gets to act again. But so what?! There are hundreds and likely thousands of women and men who quit the industry over the last few decades…

No award should be given. Instead, all those nominated should receive a participation trophy.

The South Carolina women’s basketball team, last season’s champions, have declined an invitation to visit the White House tomorrow due to what coach Dawn Staley described as a scheduling conflict and a desire to focus on their current play

Which is to say nothing of the fact that Odin’s horse, Slepnir, is Loki’s son and Loki was the *mother*.

So, in actual Norse mythology there is a story where a Frost Giant king stole Mjolnir in order to force Freya to marry him. Thor goes undercover AS Freya, dressed in the most beautiful wedding dress anyone had ever seen. The frost giant fell in love with him instantly and brought out Mjolnir as a symbol to seal their…

To be fair, the stone that controls time was ACTUALLY important to the way the ending of the movie played out, and in an fairly clever and even amusing way that no other Marvel film has replicated. It has the hero defeating an all-powerful villain by literally removing part of the physics equation for power: when time…

Whaaaaaaat? Dr. Strange was not mediocre.

but Superman 1/2 or Batman/Returns level of ‘fun’ wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

The climax of the movie is the emotionally-charged moment when Batman realizes that they’re actually called “Martha Boxes,” and I’ll just show myself out thanks

Obviously, Kevin had mental health issues stemming from his incarceration. We need to do more to improve access to psychiatrists and social workers after prisoners are released.

Split the difference, adopt the Penix as a mascot:

Why don’t all of the players on teams with 3 or fewer wins just quit for the season right now?
