The average person believes that, when they pay a tip, it is going to the people who immediately provide them service. Even if one doesn’t want to take the workers’ side in this mess, it’s hard to deny that DoorDash was effectively defrauding customers by using their tips in order to directly reduce the company’s own…

Yeah, there isn’t a more try-hard cinematic opinion than arguing that Tarantino sucks. It’s a surefire sign that you’re talking to somebody trying to punch way above their weight and make themselves look superficially “discerning” without really saying anything interesting or impactful.

It’s astonishing to me that the director who made Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, and Death Proof somehow is subjected to derision, on the basis that he supposedly backgrounds women in his films. Are you fucking kidding me? You’re free not to like Tarantino’s movies. That’s totally valid. But there is exactly zero argument…

But he isn’t going to go away forever. That’s the thing.

Nobody cares. You aren’t going to cancel Tarantino no matter how hard you try.

Not everyone is as Extremely Online as the people who become invested in these cultural disputes. These are professional athletes. They’re spending most of their time doing athlete shit, not fretting over every last outrage on the internet. It never ceases to amaze me when online people act like it’s totally implausibl…

This...

A whole lot of capeshit and animated movies. To be perfectly honest, I’d rather have the mixed bag Netflix offers up. At least there’s some diversity to the original content.

I don’t think anyone is *just* taking a break from watching twitch and calling it a day

Exactly. Sanders has done more, in real-world material terms, to help working people, than these assholes will ever do in their damned lives combined. This isn’t “crossing a picket line.” I know the big trend is to talk up the value of digital activism, but people deciding to not go on Twitch during the strike ain’t…

Sorry, but this is not “crossing a picket line.” That’s not how that shit works, y’all.

A grand total of three complete randos “lose their shit” on Twitter.

Laverne Cox is Netflix famous, not big-screen famous. But yes, congratulations, you know of one famous trans actor. Now name another.

Scarlett Johansson can get nearly any role she wants in any movie. Why she keeps making these obviously cringeworthy decisions and then being shocked when people call her out on them is a baffling lapse in awareness.

One of the “various social reasons” Johansson cannot play “any person,” to recap, at least where Rub & Tug is concerned, is that transgender actors have had a hard time getting cast as anything other than transgender characters; to have a cisgender actor play a transgender character takes away one of the few roles…

Yes, even Harvey Weinstein gets a defense. That’s the way it works.

I personally thought he would choose a woman who loves #MeToo and thinks he is guilty, or that he just wouldn’t get a lawyer at all.

You’re literally cheering for a corporation to stack extra billions on its stock value, and acting like this is woke. Jesus Christ.

Why is there such a heavy focus on her being a doctor? The piece makes it sound like it’s somehow more outrageous because of her career/credentials, or that her treatment somehow wouldn’t be as big a deal if she were, I dunno, a lowly cashier or something.

My dude, I’ve said many times that if Bernie gets the nod, I’ll vote for him. I’ll vote for a ham sandwich if it has the Democratic nomination against Trump.
