I used to make fun of my coworkers for being SO into this show, but then I caught an episode on Netflix on an idle weekend, and ended up blazing through every available episode within a week. They’re just so NICE! It’s comforting to watch people be decent and supportive to each other, even though they’re all trying to…
Thank you for a great Cillizza burn. I needed that.
Part of me flashes back to the “let’s do a headcount” scene. Tony lists off the Avengers and finishes up with, “And you managed to piss off every last one of them.”
His base is never going to flip. Nothing he does will ever change their mind. If there was video of him pissed on by Putin they’d claim it showed Trump wasn’t afraid to get dirty for America.
I’ll see you and raise you “Turnabout Intruder” aka “Bitches can’t run spaceships cause they crazy”, and the “Doctor Crusher bones a candle ghost” episode of TNG. Yikes.
Exactly. His “apology” was referring to years of propagating harmful myths as an “oopsie”. Real genuine, he is.
This is a really, really good point.
Thank you for taking the time to articulate why critizing Harron as “unprofessional” is a moot point.

For others, it is a real, lasting designation, and one of the most maligned/suspicious in the spectrum. And it shouldn’t be! Just…
To add to the schadenfreude, IW beat JL’s entire global box office in six days.
Just saw a quote from Geoff Johns, promising that Aquaman is going to have “bright colorful action” and “more humor”, which is code for “We noticed that Thor Ragnarok handily beat JL and we want to duplicate what they had”.
Not the Zack Snyder version that exists only in my brain, pal!
America is fine with a permanent underclass; it’s just when they ask to be treated with dignity that the “problem” comes in.
Here’s another fantastic quote from her -
My god this is beautiful
+1 for using the word milquetoast. One of my favorites, and one I also used to describe conservative comedy to this guy. Great minds, eh?
And, if you don’t know what it’s like to have the entire world openly criticize, judge, throw uninformed opinions,
