I understand it’s not her fault she was born into a cult, but I wish she was smart, strong, ambitious (some combination of those words to varying degrees) enough to leave. Even if she’s inactive within the religion she is still in it and complicit. If our current state of affairs in the US has taught us anything that…

Poor Selma Blair. Dogs don’t live anywhere near long enough.

I hate that Elizabeth Moss seems like a smart person and is clearly an amazing actor yet all the Scientology BS is part of her life. I just can’t accept that as an okay thing for a person to be a part of. Disclaimer: I’m not a fan of religion in general, but I usually just brush that aside when thinking about…

I understand the concern but I feel like you didn’t get her joke. The cake was just a prop to allow her to speak candidly.

Active resistance or sheet cake?

Wow.. miss sarcasm often do we?

T. Fey isn’t a fave comedian of mine, and her politics skew a bit from my own. But it was fairly obvious that she was presenting a ridiculous satire of what not to do. She presented an obviously useless act while talking about a stream of important events, in what seemed an obvious…

Well you have to give them props for having a character go through with an abortion and have it be the right choice. If it were produced today, I bet the studio would make the writers change that so she has a miscarriage. And they’d make Baby stay with Johnny. It actually kind of amazes me that they could get away…

OR you can donate money for every slice you eat, eat while you’re making those calls or out protesting. We don’t have a lot these days and we shouldn’t have to choose between the little pleasures left.

sheetcake is good tho

Kvetching about Tina Fey and “allies” like the top post does is what amounts to 98% of #activism.

I think the problem with the bit in general is that it wasn’t really good at conveying that. I took that from it, but I can see how someone who’s not quite using that heuristic could go, “Oh, shit, I can just sit at home and eat cake? Sweet!”

I’m not sure it’s meant to be taken literally this bit. Like the way Jonathan Swift didn’t actually intend for people to consume children, I don’t believe Tina here wants us to actually go out and just eat cake while 45 has a tea party with the KKK.

“What’s most obnoxious about this clip is how Fey is encouraging people to actively ignore neo-Nazis, by characterizing the protests as “violent” and urging those who might otherwise be encouraged to physically show up to stay at home.”

Maybe I’m just the dummy here, but I took it as her making fun of the inactive people who think they can ignore the problem?

Whatever.

So am I a horrible person if I laughed at “Who drove the car into the crowd? Hillary’s emails?” Because I did laugh. Because that was funny.

I just finished watching it and laughed my ass off. I came over here to see what people thought. I don’t really agree with the “don’t show up” message, but she had some really amazingly funny digs at “Donny John” in there.

Jesus Christ this site is sour and humorless.

The goal is to eliminate having to wash towels every day because no one knows which towel is theirs.

I...I don’t understand
