So revolutionary. Much progressive. 

They are indeed terrible. 

Yeah Nancy Pelosi is the real problem here. I mean, maybe Madame Speaker is a little busy trying to impeach a president and save the republic from impending fascism?

Obviously Ronan Farrow has led an extremely privileged life but this game of never good enough is just stupid. Women have been asking men to do work on these issues for years and here is a man, doing the work, and he gets shit on for what? Having feelings about it? God it pisses me off. 

God Jezebel sucks. It gives me no pleasure to point this out. A female-focused culture and politics site should be thriving in the current zeitgeist. And yet...vape snark and Daddy Bernie. 

Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now have nothing to do with the mafia.

Marvel movies, which is shorthand for “all these goddamn stupid childish superhero movies” are drivel. None of them can hold a candle to something Ken Loach filmed on his phone. I look forward to a bunch of people telling me they are actually good because a. they make loads of money and b. they enjoy them.

Literally nobody outside of places where you can easily get hemp milk cares about the label “Democratic Socialist.” They have a terrible electoral record. 

And women. And Tad Devine.

Nobody cares. 

The fantasy being that economic reform is the only reform that matters because it is easier and benefits (checks notes) white men. The really distressing part is that so many people who really should know better are falling for it.

Blah blah blah Neera Tanden is the devil blah blah blah.

And “Rams fans” were elated. 

Entertaining does not equal good. Just like Doritos do not equal fine dining, no matter how enjoyable Doritos may be. 

That’s a bad analogy because when Scorsese started out he was outside the Hollywood mainstream. He likely would not have been bothered, maybe even proud. We can’t really know. We do know he has a deep appreciation for Hollywood history and has done a lot in the area of film preservation. The only thing Marvel

He doesn’t just make mobster movies. He isn’t the most original director out there or my personal favorite but he has made several iconic films and his output is a thousand times better than that Marvel crap. 

And nothing of value will have been lost. It’s a shame because these are interesting times and a women-centered news and culture site would be invaluable. But they’ve gone full Bernie. 

Because she’s a patriot. Because she’s a brilliant former FLOTUS and Secretary of State with something to say. Because she can and should. Because she is right. And mostly to piss off a bunch of Bernie man babies.

Yes because “Casino” and “Hugo” and “The Age of Innocence” and “The Aviator” and “New York, New York” all have so much in common. 

The optics of what makes this photo catnip for the Badass™ Woman™ This Is My Fight Song™ people whose heads aren’t up their own asses is clear.
