Flip it around forreal perspective... He comes off as a lovable goofball without trying. And if he was doing that as a failson a baseball owner while his big brother was in the White House, that wouldn’t be much of a story... He gets a lot of hate because he WAS in the White House, occupying the role of President,…

Because higher priced wines (typically) are better (whatever better means, I’m no sommelier) price & quality are a bit more linearly related...”

This actually isn’t true either. If you know how to find them (or who to ask), you can find some incredible wines for around $16. If you know where to shop for them, you can…

You didn’t really answer my question though. And your defensiveness definitely contradicts what you wrote. I definitely don’t think invoking Flamenco Jesus is warranted here.

“I can separate my enjoyment of Daniel Day Lewis’ movies from the fact that I find his acting process kind of preposterous.”

If you say so. But,…

Not trying to be a dick; I genuinely want to understand your thought process here:

He’s intensely serious about his craft (process). He’s an exceptional actor (product). Unless you work in the industry, you only know about his process because of the peripheral stuff you voluntarily consume. You don’t have to meaningfull…

Amen. This site is now where I find out about release dates when I missed the initial announcement, and where I learn the least salient point made in interviews and features from print magazines to which I do not subscribe. And where I’m reminded that some people get paid to amplify the stupidest possible part of “the…

Would you assume that you got to determine who was asked to direct your work? Just because you wrote in that genre? That’s less realistic than expecting people who grew up in an industry not to participate in that industry.

“Where do we all stand on nepo baby discourse these days?”

Over it, because it was always stupid.

I expect that a significant number of people whose parents are athletic will likely also be athletic. I expect that a significant number of people whose parents are smart will also be smart. I expect that a significant…

There’s a difference between “having an opinion” and “acting like an asshole online.” That difference is harder to spot when the person with the opinion is an asshole who happens to be online. That’s the challenge here:  He’s got the whole waterfront covered.

The proper time to evaluate that would seem to be after S5 has been released.

“Kind of sucks that to express that makes it sound like I’m team Nick Pizzolatto who I don’t know or care anything about.”

This isn’t the case, though. You expressed your perspective in a way that actually reflected your experience of the show. Some people come online seemingly motivated to have the most scalding take…

You just described both of their careers, and you’re commenting on a dirt bag item written for a pop culture website. If we follow your “argument” to its logical conclusion, you’re only capable of having sympathy for people who are capable of achieving financial success in spite of their popularity or likability, and…

What, exactly, is Taylor Swift supposed to say to her?

Maybe the real problem here is with you and your framing. Let’s try it another way:

This is where women are in 2024: They get to make their own choices, including the choice to apologize to someone with whom they shared a relationship that was unhealthy and…

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that neither one of them has done anything to you, personally, or voluntarily/knowingly been within spitting distance of you, personally... What else could they do to leave you alone besides letting you have your recliner and Internet access to yourself? Not much.

“But, truly, at what cost?”

You wrote this about a Republican elected official in 2024. That’s textbook “acting brand new,” especially since so many of them have already answered the question for you. There is no price that they will not pay. There is no debasement that they will not endure. Donald Trump told Ted Cruz…

Does anyone need her to be a better dancer than what she was already displaying in the meme that got her teased in the first place? I doubt anyone who had the gall to criticize her for ONE MOVE IN HER ROUTINE could actually have done that same move for that long. She looked great doing it. This shit is ridiculous!

“Hunter reportedly left the meeting 30 minutes after arriving, and I respect that.”

If my couch is any indication, you might both be keeping the same secret! ;)

Breathe a little bit, and maybe go outside. Perspective is important. She didn’t manufacture anything. She got caught on camera talking to another human being.

They write monologues for the same host every night, directed largely at the same audience every night. In the same environment, with established infrastructure in place.

Other than that, though... solid comparison. Wildly off the mark, but factually accurate!

Two Taylor Swift pieces, and two appearances from you. A weird way to portray “so tired of this woman” in the Internet age!
