Kids.

Except people are getting really tired of the “I’m sorry to those who may have been offended” type apologies that don’t actually describe what they did and who they hurt.

Yeah, I don’t care what every woman I know IRL says, I like Anne Hathaway.

Uh little kids? This is not out of left field. 

The whole Anne Hathaway Effect is bullshit.  Hating someone for the sake of it is infuriating, especially when its someone who's clearly not a bad person.  

You do realize plenty of people have been saying that exact thing about BIPOC characters in movies for literal decades or have you NOT seen Taye Diggs in Malibu’s Most Wanted?

Representation matters, especially in a kids’ movie where the target audience is highly impressionable and tend to be sorely lacking in what the…

People shit talk her, but I've always liked Ann Hathaway. She's talented, gorgeous, and from this at least, seems to be a decent person.

Umm... People have protested minorities being represented negatively as villains or token characters pretty much since Birth of a Nation. I think you’ll find most folks that visit this site agree that’s a negative thing. I’m not sure the point you think you’re making by saying that “you could say” black people being…

Well you can’t say fairer than that.

this is why Chuck and Nancy and Bernie and the Clintons et al. need to be retired; their 20th century diplomacy and idealism are just not suited for this point in the country’s history. The GOP has shown an absolute willingness to assert its power whenever possible, to obstruct any legislation unless they get their…

I think there was a point when it seemed important to show he was lying, because it was so obvious and brazen. But then it became clear that a lot of people didn't understand they were clearly lies, fact checks be damned 

There’s a pretty clear reason those second amendment folks seem more interested in protecting tyranny than stopping it

He is a noted LOtR-phile

Yah, I didn’t want to go too far back (partly because who wants to go back to Amerca’s inter-war love affair with Hitler?) as I was exclusively thinking about the context of online political discourse - but you’re right that the rot started to set in long ago.

I hope in a few days or weeks, Colbert and the rest of us who have been shaken by the realization of how precarious the democracy is right now and for the immediate future, and that we’re basically in a civil war with a bunch of desperate lunatics, that we can bear down, focus, and strategize about how to win. We have…

I think most people who have pointed out right-wing fascist tendencies growing since the Reagan Bush years can now feel thoroughly vindicated in saying “I told you so”.

It took them so long because now they don’t need him and they’re getting off the sinking ship. Sad they wouldn’t stand up to him all these years, but here we are.

New Zealand seems mostly nice. And they’d probably let him live in one of those leftover Hobbit holes.

It’s really great that mainstream media has realized they can just cut away or not show the footage when Trump is lying. It only took them 5 years.
