I’d rather save Idris Elba for the Fourteenth Doctor

I’m concerned about your blood pressure. Not because of the Krispy Kremes (whose donuts are indeed the shit) but because of these frustrations you submit yourself to so that we don’t have to.

Laws for some, playful suggestions for others!

Under those terms, I think Harris has more in her favor than just that, too.

I figured.

In case you were wondering if any of these awards ceremonies had any real legitimacy, the Academy of Motion Picture Art and Whatevers is here to clear things up for you.

The state of this country right now is the very fact that this is a contender for feel-good story of the year.

Does Texas have laws?

I like Kamala Harris, but these problems that you bring up—some of which I didn’t know about—are real and distressing. But I really want to see the Democratic Party embrace a progressive ideology, even if only symbolically in terms of relative youth. It worked with Pres. Obama twice, even when some of the shine was…

I suppose if you lived a fair clip inland, and never plan on traveling overseas, it’s not that essential. And it’s certainly within reason to live that life, but it does seem terribly limiting. Especially, as many have pointed out, if you have kids and rightfully don’t want to deprive them of the opportunity if…

Nah, I’m inclined to take Gary Levine at his word on this one (and I’m not often in the habit of taking television presidents of programming at their word); Sacha Baron Cohen has an undeniable track record of giving zero fucks when it comes to courting controversy, both socially and legally. If we really don’t see the…

Oh and first example that sprung to my mind: FDR, Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937 - proposed after some of his New Deal legislation was ruled unconstitutional, to grant the President the ability to appoint up to six additional Supreme Court justices, which his own Vice President publicly opposed

I hope my record of despising Trump and everything he stands for is clear enough, so I’ll say in the interest of fairness: no this is not new. More Presidents than not have played super fast and loose with that whole notion of separation of powers. This time it’s just, as has been with nearly every aspect of this…

I am stunned that he isn’t up there. Getting owned at basketball and running to the cops to tattle seems like peak white to me.

Yeah, you almost feel bad for the Stormtroopers. They can’t aim for shit because they’re forced to wear those terrible helmets, they never really know what the base they’re supposed to be defending is used for, people keep saying that they’re all clones and frankly it’s demoralizing as hell, and they’re just as likely…

I don’t, really. Next Gen is my favorite Star Trek series, Picard is my favorite captain and Patrick Stewart is my favorite actor across all of the series (Armin Shimerman is an honorable mention). But I also think “All Good Things..” is one of the greatest series finales of all time, not just of Star Trek (where it…

I disagree that nobody was being injured or that there was nothing to stop. I certainly won’t argue that the priority should have been the well-being of the incapacitated man. If the person filming was only there to chastise, however accurately, and he then immediately moved on without checking on the victim, it’s…

How the almighty fuck is somebody working in a position anywhere near children without a complete background check? Clearly Pacheco (the kind of sentient filth that gives me pause in forming a blanket objection to capital punishment) is not the only one who should be being tried here. This is a failure of society on an…

It’s no small thing to call somebody out on their bullshit. Is it a bigger thing to stop somebody from committing that bullshit? Sure - but what do you risk in doing that? It’s easy to judge from behind a screen, figuring that the cameraman opted to err on the side of his own convenience of, say, not getting into a…
