Anyone who was predisposed to be an asshole before the pandemic is now going to be an even more entitled asshole because they were the only ones whose lives were disrupted. This applies to air travel, driving, waiting in lines, going to bars and restaurants, etc.

I agree, I think that “devout” was meant to be snarky. But it does irk me that there are assholes out there who legitimately keep trying to co-opt words like “devout”, “patriot”, etc.

No worries, I’m not offended by your questioning my beliefs or by your agnosticism.

“But McCain doesn’t seem to care about sharing accurate information to her fans and fellow devout Catholics.”

Fey is not a homophobic slur. Webster’s defines it as: excessively refined, precious (e.g. a fey, self-indulgent dandy). I’ve met plenty of straight people who were self indulgent and precious, and plenty of gay men who weren’t.

So it’s not okay to get clicks by writing about how Kate Winslet’s body shouldn’t be a big deal, but it is okay to get clicks by writing about people writing about Kate Winslet’s body?  Very nuanced...

Don’t watch it if you don’t want to but this take lazy and dead wrong. This show was about the women, not the men. If you are talking to men who think Don Draper is some kind of hero, that’s on you for hanging out with assholes.  Way to let someone else do the critical thinking for you.

I hope they continue to support a wired connection because I greatly prefer that.  

“Yi said that the film’s producers—including Rogen, who she named as an enabler—tried to bribe her to stay with a bigger role”

Didn’t they successfully bribe her? I thought she took the money and the role, and now, after the check cleared, is attempting to claim the moral high ground too. Franco is the unequivocal bad…

Is Joe Manchin wearing a denim suit in that picture?  

We already know that half of our fellow citizens are selfish, childish assholes.  If this is what it takes for them to get vaccinated, I’m fine with it.

Praise from the Sonic Youths?  And the Best Coasts?  That pretty cool.

You are correct. Bohemia is from Mexico. I think I was thinking of Pilsen. (That trip was a little drinky...)

I would include Imperial ( and Bohemia, if you can find it) from Costa Rica, and Presidente from the Dominican Republic. Both are excellent light and fizzy beach beers.

Interesting.  Sure, he’s white and male, but other than that, he doesn’t really look like I expected.

Also, what’s with the picture of the guy at the top of the article. He’s identified as the CEO in the caption but then not mentioned in the article itself. Was he directly involved or is he implicated because he was at the helm when this all happened? There is a lack of detail and context to this story which is…

My old roommate and is wife were on it and they even made it onto the “They Hated It” special dvd.

Yup. I’m just finishing In the Garden of the Beast by Eric Larson. It’s about the US ambassador to Germany in the mid 30's (and his daughter). I’m struck by how the efficiency of Hitler’s rise to power seems so methodical in retrospect, but in reality it was a just combination of brutality, persistence, dumb luck, and…

“She alleged that Rogen “bribed” her with a bigger role and heftier paycheck after she threatened to quit their 2017 film The Disaster Artist over the first wave of sexual misconduct allegations against Franco.”

Bravo
