It was such an un-memorable, trivial, non-issue that the two of them still regularly joke about it? It leaves me with one question:  What’s the deal with people telling on themselves in public now?!?!?!

Your conclusion is telling: You haven’t read the piece, but RS just wants the clicks and the person telling their side of things - in the piece you haven’t read - is too sensitive. You do know that all of that says more about you than anyone else, right?

I wonder what watching him rape someone would have felt like.

When you write a “private” letter unequivocally testifying to the character of an accused rapist, how are you not discrediting the accusers? He stood trial because of his alleged conduct. They wrote about their evaluation of his character as though their experiences meant that his accusers’ experience of his conduct…

“As with a lot of things in cancel culture, all the dialogue about how important it is to forgive and forget...”

... are based in fantasy. Because cancel culture does not exist. My cable is provided by Comcast. There is still a network that regularly runs episodes of The Cosby Show. I buy groceries at Giant. They have…

“42-year-old Chris Evans reportedly married 26-year-old Alba Baptista on Saturday.”

How long will we have to wait before your colleagues rip Chris Evans apart for being in an age-inappropriate marriage?

Here’s how “failing them” works:

Eternals grossed over $400M worldwide and it released in November of 2021. The most recent Ant-man movie grossed over $470M worldwide. Neither of those movies was released to widespread critical acclaim. One of them was released when people were literally afraid to go to movie theaters.…

“Whether you like it or not, it’s an increasingly common opinion, and it’s only going to become more common”

Do I need to start a list of things to which this would apply that are objectively fucked up? “It’s an increasingly common opinion” is a comically low bar in 2023.

“I don’t think people have a problem with needing to see season one in order to get season two of a show.”

I think you make valid points. I think you’d write a more compelling argument than the author. This piece couldn’t have been written without this dumb thesis, though.

“I shouldn’t need to know exactly who did what and when in the first season of Loki to understand the upcoming second season.”

I really wanted to type something snarky or insulting in reply to this, but I made myself wait until I’d read everything you had to write about it. Now that I’ve done that, I realize that the…

You? You get it!

Are we going to have term limits on lobbyists too? The literal last thing we need is politicians that are as green as summer grass... surrounded by lobbyists who know the interiors of every steakhouse in the city.

Do you live in her district? If so, are you running against her? Why or why not? If you are not running against her, have you potential identified a candidate that would be more effective, and are you working to recruit that person ?

If you don’t live in her district, there’s something missing from this piece: Why…

If this is your idea of “flying off the handle,” your handle must be pretty short. I’ve actually been pretty civil with you. That said, I wrote it before, will write it again:

You should watch whatever you want to watch. You should feel however you want to feel.

Okay.

I could go on a block quoting spree, but my real bottom line is this:

You should watch whatever you want to watch. You should feel however you want to feel.

I don’t actually care. I don’t care what you watch. I don’t care if you’re alienated by my enthusiasm. Disney+ loads at the same speed at my house, regardless of…

What you said.

Part of Ron DeSantis’ problem was always going to be that what plays in Florida isn’t necessarily going to appeal to a broader audience. And what you can pull off without much resistance in Tallahassee isn’t going to withstand the scrutiny of medium-information voters and an experienced, national-level…

Exactly. DeSantis has plenty of “doofus who doesn’t know what he’s talking about” going on. There’s no reason to contort his rare coherence into something illogical.

I don’t honestly know if anyone, including Logan Paul, knows why he went. If I had to guess, though, it’s what I laid out: He was expecting an action-packed war movie, not a tense drama about particle physics...

FWIW, he also says that he wanted to walk out of Interstellar after 18 minutes, FOR THE SAME REASON, and now…

“Much like the MCU, watching this stuff increasingly feels like homework, rather than something I can just sit down and enjoy.”
