Plurality. The majority of Americans either voted for President-Elect Fuckface or didn’t care enough to vote.

I like the Times normally, but this is dumb. If this guy was an open racist, would we be opposed to booing him every time he was in public? No, nor should we be. Hating gays is no different. This guy deserves.
We must have done something and it must have been awful.
The New York Times is smug as fuck and not in a fun or cute way.
Pay attention to him: he’s going to be the guy pulling the strings. Trump can’t hold his attention on anything, so of course all the real work is going to get done by Pence.
Oprah is a shameless opportunist and it is about time she was called out for it. She preys on society’s most vulnerable members and feeds them consumerist pablum as way to ‘fix’ their problems.
Honestly I did genuinely forget he exists until this.
I’ve been a bit surprised by the reaction to Doctor Phil. Like, this was the final straw? When did people hear about Dr. Phil? Yesterday? He’s been a piece of shit for a long, long time. Whatever other gifts she has, Oprah has consistently shown herself to be a fairly poor judge of character.
can you imagine how many notifications you’d have to clear when you were brought back to life? It makes me anxious just thinking about it.
“If you go back and actually, like, read what I wrote I wasn’t comparing the two sports.”
Yeah, the NFL’s tomfuckery is so much worse than soccer’s. It’s not like soccer’s showcase event infrastructure is being built by slaves. It’s not like soccer has to play matches in empty stadiums because hooligans can’t hide their tribal racism when they see a black player. It’s not like their entire governing…
I wish they wouldn’t show guys crying when they get hurt. It reminds me that these are real people with painful injuries and not just pawns for my fantasy team. Total buzzkill.
Yeah!
Malcolm McDowell took quite a physical beating in Clockwork Orange, what with the scratched cornea during the Ludivico treatment, near-drowning by his after the breathing apparatus in the water trough failed, and a few cracked ribs from an insufficiently pulled kick. Pretty sure Vincent D’Onofrio didn’t have a great…
Apocalypse Now with Coppola. Cameron on The Abyss tortured both male and female leads. Kurosawa for Throne of Blood. Uwe Boll for Fitzcarraldo. No argument that it’s been historically, systemically easier to do it to women. But directors have been horrific assholes in all directions.
True. Though plenty male actors do it to themselves to please the director, or audience, or whatever. Heath Ledger comes to mind.
I wrote about this before, but I fucking hate directors who do this. I’ve enjoyed and highly respected Kubrick’s vision, but I don’t think his talent hinged on his disrespect of his actors. It’s one thing to create a space/sandbox to improvise and work out some shit to harness for the screen, it’s another to…
I mean, yeah, I guess I also believe he picked out her vulnerability and used it, as opposed to being the source of it. But I can’t imagine doing that. I guess I’ll never be a great director.
I wish Oprah had also not exploited Lindsay Lohan. I’m really tired of Oprah being treated like a patron saint of America.
I really wish that Oprah had never brought Dr.’s Phil & Oz out of the grays.
