I can't fathom how people tolerate this abrasive, shouting moron.

Matt Damon's not a piece of shit. Our need to blame institutional and cultural biases on particular individuals is pretty shitty, however.

Very sloppy reporting. Ailes hasn't been "officially" fired, though he probably will be, or be forced to resign, soon. And contrary to your report, the only Fox News staffer to publicly accuse him of sexual harassment was Carlson, although Megyn Kelly is reported to have privately implicated him as well.

I was surprised to learn that China is actually a very superstitious country. Numbers count for a lot, so does the animal of the current year. In New York, some Chinese women have been pulling a scam in which they offer to bless a bag of money for other older Chinese women. The victims hand over the goods, get it

I like him. A lot, actually. And I expected to hate him after watching Jon for so many years. Truth is, he's charming and sly, and the perspective of the show - progressive, angry, chagrined - is still there. I honestly don't know why people don't seem to like him, except a knee-jerk distaste for something new.

No, I wasn't equating the two. I was pointing out that we tend to turn celebrities into untouchable saints after they die. But you're such a strict partisan, you have to interpret an inarguable point as leftist dogma.

>to see an actor adopting the limited mobility of someone with the disorder is enough to almost upend the character’s raison d’être.

What? If he was alive, it would be a lot easier to call him out, just like it was easier to call Michael Jackson a pedophile when he was alive.

Patrice O'Neal was a hateful misogynist. Really, one of the nastiest motherfuckers ever. Funny dude, smart, but wow, he would not have survived in an increasingly PC culture.

Because the character in the show is not aware he is a character on a TV show on HBO. D'uh.

Doggone it.

Hey, Cruise is in his 50s. Lots of old guys, straight and gay, have atavistic views on being gay.

Multiple sources say he said it. Why don't you think he did?

You think Cruise is going to leave? And go where? Does he have close friends outside the cult? Don't you think he has lots of secrets they'd sell to the Enquirer if he did?

It was so obvious who and what I was referring to that I can't take your response as credible. Sorry I replied.

And you, right?

Waah, I'm a fucking baby who's too lazy to read the article and reach the only reasonable conclusion, waaah waaah.

Waah, I'm a fucking baby who needs a thesis to defend the identity politics of my formulaic rock music, waah waah.

The kind of person who anthropomorphizes the internet?

Is it 1994? What's with the breathess coverage of this aging pop-punk band?
