Hiddleston would have to want to stay on though, and I get the impression he’s kind of done with the MCU. He’s got a nice cu$hion from his decade-plus of playing Loki and likely wants to do something else now. Read more

You realize this is a news article because it is out of the ordinary for someone to overcome a sex scandal, right? They won “despite” a “scandal”. Read more

Clearly you don’t care about the outcome of these elections or you would have agreed running a porn star was a dumb idea. But for some of us this isn’t a game; we do care what happens to women, people of color, and those in poverty when elections are lost.

This was entirely predictable and why it was monumentally selfish of her to run with a sword of Damocles over her head.

see what happens? Read more

wow this is crazy who could have predicted this Read more

The MCU narrative is essentially done for me. It was right there in the title: End Game. Perfect ending to a great story. On to other things. Read more

Bibi’s “help Hamas to help Israel” strategy is well known. There’s no conspiracy or leaps in logic here. It’s been openly discussed in Israeli and Arab circles for years. Read more

Alien 3 is an excellent movie and a terrible sequel 

I think everyone is insane for discounting electability when deciding on who should represent your party in an election.

The day-to-day business of running a government office isn’t about performative morality. But running for office and keeping it are. And to do that you need to win a general election, wherein large swaths of the population — including those who are not going to be on board with a sex worker — vote. Read more

I am terrible at legislative rules but my understanding is all that would do is waste a little time. The House would then have to schedule a vote within a certain time period (2 days?) and vote and since Republicans have a (slim) majority, the outcome would be the same as what we saw today and Johnson would remain… Read more

100%. States don’t really mean anything anymore. It’s all about cities and how far a city’s sphere of influence/suburbs reach. Washington, Oregon, California even - supposedly reliable blue states are blood red once you get more than an hour drive away from a city, sometimes even less.
