Her platitudes were well-timed but also, even by the standards of platitudes, empty claptrap.

She’s for reparations. But her plan for reparations ($500B) works out to a one-time payment of about $10,000 per person. I’m too white to say what reparations should look like, but I’ve read enough from African-American…

The thing about whether he killed his wife or not is my issue with the film. The thread made Cliff darker and more menacing, which is to its credit. It was also a bit of an homage Natalie Wood’s death, which fit the rest of the film.

That was beyond crystal clear. I don’t understand the flashback interpretation at all. It’s like people who argue that Born In The USA *really* is a patriotic song when it’s clearly not.

I’ve spent almost two hours trying to figure out a pun involving Barstool and Elizabeth Warren, but I have failed and my boss has left for the day so I’m going home.

I’ve lived in the Detroit area most of my life.

As long as your guru’ing doesn’t discourage vaccines or encourage consumer coffee anally, I’m fine with it.

His behavior was objectively predatory regardless of how she perceived it. He was 40, she was 13. The whole point of grooming is to ensure someone doesn’t see your behavior as predatory. He crossed a line no one ever should have crossed. Period and full stop.

The thing with Celine is that the way her relationship with Rene continued and ended seems to have rendered how it began moot, but it was deeply problematic.

TRUMP, CIRCA 2022: No one has ever been forgotten like I was forgotten. Everyone watched. Believe me, the ratings for my forgottening were huge. Many, many people say no one was more forgotten than me.

It reminds of Stephen Fry’s wonderful line about people who are offended by swear words. They’re never offended on their own behalf, they are only offended on behalf of presumed other people.

PEOPLE WHO KNEW AND LOVED SHARON TATE: What a wonderfully respectful portrayal of this person we loved.

DUDE ON JEZEBEL: How dare…

There are plenty of good reasons why people would dislike Tarantino as a person, and there are plenty of good reasons why people might not care for his brand of filmmaking. That’s fine.

However, the Tarantino is disrespecting Sharon Tate take isn’t just someone being offended on behalf of imaginary others, it is…

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...

It’s almost like people attempting to operate in a flawed system will produce flawed outcomes. And call me crazy but those people, like Kamala Harris, might have some insight into fixing those flawed systems. Wait, no, let’s just insist on PURITY!

I’m looking for an aluminum wrap that’s free of heavy metals and other chemical toxins. Is your product free of heavy metals and other chemical toxins?

Honorary mentions to Chick-fil-A nuggets, which are easy to reheat in the toaster oven and taste good enough as leftovers to help me forget the moral compromise I made in patronizing a company that is the top social justice priority of brain-diseased Texan governors.

Underrated reason to hate the Bosas: Their great-grandfather Tony Accardo was a degenerate greaseball mobster who literally inspired this classic moment of cinema history:

When immigrants start putting salmon in the fish tacos, you can build your damn wall.

Roger Ailes can’t get a corpse boner if you don’t smile, hon.

Donald Trump: I’m not a racist, but all these brown people come from shithole countries and they should go back to where they came from.

Marianne Williamson: I’m not an anti-vaxx, but vaccines are made by Big Pharma, which is scary, and therefore people are right to be skeptical of vaccination efforts.

I’m really surprised, in addition to her anti-vax positions (she’s absolutely anti-vax) and her gross views on weight loss and depression, that nothing has been made of the fact that her entire brand is built on cultural appropriation. She’s stolen a lot Eastern religion, stripped it of its theological/cultural…
