I have nothing to add to this beyond my assertion that “Brick Chicken” is the perfect name for a local TV anchorman. “Brick Chicken, here, with the Action 5 news team...”

I’ve noticed this with Netflix as well--increasingly, streaming services are blurring the difference between “original” and “exclusive”. So they probably just mean you can’t see it anywhere else.

I can believe that. After I read a few of Millar’s comics, I wanted to hit him a couple of times with a sword myself.

Jesus. How shitty of a human being do you have to be to be put in charge of something and say, “My top priority is making things easier for rapists. There’s other stuff too, but enabling sexual assault is Priority One around here.”

The crazy thing is, if the character had been written to make that accent logical, I would have loved that performance. If he was written as an early-1900s Swedish immigrant in a town that had a big Swedish population at that time (like, say, Minneapolis) and that he was new to the country, mangled his English, but…

His strategy of “finding out who’s at or near the top of virtually any organization in Hollywood, then actually fucking listening to the women who’ve been talking about him for decades” does seem deceptively simple.

When I feel like it. Look, forgiveness is not transactional, and we should stop thinking of it that way. When you do something bad, you can’t simply do X amount of good things in order to pay off your moral debt and then ask for a receipt. Forgiveness is individual, it is an act of grace that we perform when we’re…

I really feel like she’s magic. Not just in the sense of “wow, she’s so talented it’s almost supernatural” but in that same sense that Prince and David Bowie and Freddie Mercury had, like she doesn’t follow the same rules as the rest of the universe. She’s got something astonishingly special and rare about her, a real…

“MAGA-hat wearing...”? Oh you sweet summer child. Believe it or not, it is possible to simultaneously believe that Trump is an incompetent, sleazy con artist and that the people who are ‘resisting’ him in the Oval Office don’t give a fuck about America either. Setting the precedent that it’s okay to ignore the…

Oh, absolutely. Trump legitimately is that incoherent and incompetent, and it says a lot that the discussions apparently held about removing him from office for incapacity didn’t center around, “Is he incapable of performing the duties of the office?” but instead “What’ll happen to us if we admit that?” But the 25th…

They all think they’re going to get to be Aunt Lydia.

Well, we are all vegan, right? Apart from the blood of true Americans, I mean.

Let me explain using an analogy. Imagine you’re at the top of a hill, and I’m at the bottom of a hill. We are both pushing rocks in the direction of the other. You, at the top of the hill, are saying that it’s really unfair that I’m allowed to keep pushing rocks in your direction even though you’re not allowed to keep…

“Where did you get the information on those illegal end-runs around the President?”

Because whoever the op-ed writer is, they’ve admitted to sabotaging the policy decisions of the President of the United States of America, including foreign policy decisions that are purely the prerogative of the President, because they personally disagree with them. I mean, I agree with the anonymous op-ed author…

The people who think he’s a martyr for this already thought he was a martyr for not being on every channel 24/7. He only appeals to guys who have massive persecution complexes anyway, so why not go ahead and persecute them?

My theory: It’s long-time leaker John Barron. Trump is undermining his own presidency, Fight Club-style.

They killed Charlie Brown. Now she’s out for justice.

Won’t have the same impact. “Stay vigilant” can only last for so long, just ask the fucking Democrats who’ve let abortion rights erode over the last forty years until they exist in name only at this point.

Well, I think that it would have been hard to come up with a version of events where Putative Snoke (we never heard his first name used in the movies) wasn’t a Force user, simply because so much of the story revolves around bringing Kylo over to the Dark Side. But even with that, yes, there’s a ton of changes they…
