Huh. And I thought Tahani was exaggerating that story.

A genuinely avant-garde production of Hamlet?

I don’t know--David Tennant is definitely a selling point, but I won’t really get interested unless they have Andre Braugher show up at the end of every episode, after the confession is extracted, to shout, “Oh, DAMN!” three times.

My working theory at the time was that they had a severe overcrowding problem in their restaurants, and this ad campaign was the solution.

I think a lot of well-connected Hollywood people look at John Landis and go, “There but for the grace of God go I.” They all know they cut corners on a regular basis and endanger people’s lives while treating them like shit, but John Landis was the one it all... no pun intended... fell down on. I think Hollywood types …

Hey, if they’ve got their state separated into the people who make the shit and the people who get drunk on it, that already puts them ahead of Republican propagandists.

Protip: If there’s more demand than there is supply, which there is in every major metropolitan real estate market, you will be forced to accept less because “competition” isn’t some sort of magic and landlords who can still get tenants due to the overcrowding of the market even if they don’t do jack shit will,…

If by “build and make” you mean “buy and fail to maintain”, you really understand how the rental market in America works!

Yeah, especially when the justice system is so fair and equitable and does such a great job convicting rapists! I certainly can’t understand why anyone would get discouraged and accept a settlement when... 1% of rapists are convicted!

It’s not so much what they want, as it is what they’ve conned themselves into. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, when the issue was first being pushed, “moderate” pro-lifers would put a list of caveats and exceptions on their policy that would keep it from being so brutally draconian and only punish the women who…

Captain America’s never been the MAGA ideal. He’s all about standing up to tyrants and dictators, he believes in equality and fairness for all, he’s against racism and misogyny, he’s anti-corruption, and he punches Nazis. Really, he’s everything they hate. :)

Yeah, the blouse looks like she liked her color blindness test so much she decided to wear it. Not a fan.

I like the sunglasses in isolation--that’s a beautiful shade of purple--but whatever outfit/hairstyle/complexion they’re supposed to work with, it isn’t McCain’s.

And it needs to be shouted from the rooftops again and again: This is not an unintentional consequence of FOSTA/SESTA. This was the goal. The goal was always to keep sex workers marginalized and frightened so that they could be easily abused and exploited. “Protection” was always a smokescreen. This is, and has always…

And even that one... [fumbles around looking for his “He a little confused, but he got the spirit” meme]

Oh, they get it. But for them, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature. The key thing that everyone needs to understand about the conservative movement in America today is that fundamentally, it is based in the belief that privileges and benefits are being given to the “undeserving” at their expense, and that anything they do…

“99.999999999% of everything was made for straight people before! Now it’s like 99.999999997%! How am I supposed to survive this kind of oppression?”

I wrote my senior thesis on it.

But Jekyll’s not “the good guy”. Jekyll is the guy who wanted to get credit for being the good guy, while still getting away with all the evil stuff he secretly wanted to do, so he created the potion so he could just turn into Hyde whenever he wanted to and be an utter shit. As a description of a politician who wants…

It’s funny you should say that--I’ve been commenting that ‘Doctor Who’ clearly prepped Tennant for this part, because he sounds so much more comfortable doing big exposition drops and reading off dialogue that was intended for the page. He’s easily the best thing about the show.
