Yes, the Republicans are throwing away a winnable election because they’ve forgotten how to hide their extremism. But it’s not new for the Republicans to offer bluster and red meat for the base instead of actual policies. It’s not new for Republicans to have no interest in governing; they haven’t been interested in…

mainstream Democrats would be the conservative party in basically any other Western democracy.

Republicans have been offering nothing but chaos for the last 25 years, but they still manage to win elections.

Bi and poly!

why not? I mean, watching a bad movie can be unpleasant or a waste of time and money, but if you’re an actor, it probably doesn’t make that much of a difference. He’s an actor, his agent got him a job, they paid his price. He did his job, Maybe he enjoyed it, maybe he didn’t. Maybe acting next to a mo-cap dog is more…

What is “acting”? Anyone? Anyone?

You’re late for Carousel.

OK, that’s just silly. I mean, I love Star Wars too, but Harrison Ford (like very other human being) has every right to be dismissive of it, or anything else he was in. Every actor who has a career is in good movies and bad movies, if they’re lucky. Just because an actor was in a bad movie doesn’t mean he loses the…

OK, thanks. That’s too bad; I enjoyed the showrunner (Joseph Mallozzi)‘s previous series, Dark Matter, and was hoping this was good.
