With all due respect to Colbert, whom I adore, fuck that noise. Trump is a criminal and a Russian stooge and every day he remains in office he’s doing irreparable harm here and abroad. Considering just the judiciary alone his appointments will affect us for decades to come. Considering just Syria alone his foreign…

She’s my biggest celebrity crush since Carrie Fisher when I was a kid. I’m swooning.

And others, like Dikachu, gave it the ol’ college try but eventually seemed to have given up. Many of them (including ol’ Dik) are over at The Avocado, though. Disqus even published a warm piece (appropriately titled “Putting Community First: What Publishers Can Learn From The Avocado”) about them after the channel…

I recall many of his answers being smug and dismissive. Specifically, he scoffed at the value of a comments section that facilitates commenters having substantive conversations with one another (virtually any comments system other than Kinja) instead of just doing a single hit-and-run comment directed at getting an…

“Finally, regardless of where anyone may stand re: Chappelle’s transphobic comments, if this is truly a racially motivated attack it’s still reprehensible; ergo, even if you think Chappelle is a bigot, this is still wrong.”

He ended up getting quite the bargain. He got to fuck thousands of great former commenters, too.

I just got around to watching The Prestige for the first time the other day (it’s leaving Netflix next month). Every time Bowie was on screen I thought about how much I miss having him in the world.

Oh cool! The Cars are a favorite 80's band of mine, too. I’m definitely checking that out.

Ooh! Breakup albums! Sad bastard music! This is my jam. A lot of great ones have already been picked. I’d add:

Oh, it’s autobiographical but not a reality show? So he can play multiple roles then—all of his Twitter and Instagram sock puppets can be characters, too.

Personally I always thought of Ann as the audience surrogate. Especially after season 1, I’d say that she’s usually used to gauge how crazy the rest of the ensemble is acting. Especially with Leslie and her characteristic overreaching, Ann would usually just say, “Okay...”, pause, and then formulate a reasonable…

At least they thought better of going with their original title —Rock Hard.

There are all sorts of great side roles to be had there, too. The principal players had a lot of scandalous shit going on besides just funneling money to the Sandinistas—sex, drugs, the GOP version of rock ‘n roll.  Berkeley Breathed tells a great story of how Reagan called him once to thank him for running a Bloom…

I did a double-take when I saw Drew Barrymore in the header image. I guess that I was just young enough for The Amy Fisher Story to not be on my radar when it came out, so I never realized that she played Fisher.

That’s a really good point. One hand is washing the other, and of course their voters don’t even realize how much the New Deal has benefited—and continues to benefit—many of them, and disproportionately so. I guess their public embrace of kleptocracy is just as disheartening as the racism.

Server is right, of course, that Trump unabashedly stands for white Christian nationalism—and does so with an explicitness not seen in mainstream politics in decades. It really is frightening just how quickly the GOP has bought into doing away with dog whistle racism and has embraced the vile hatred spewing from…

I think that I have a picture of the two of them

Yeah. It’s the first run-in that I’ve had with anybody there, but I’ve seen others make negative comments about his behavior, and I’ve seen some pretty nasty comments that he’s made to others, too. I just can’t believe that he not only deleted the comment (which, whatever) but that he also sent me back to the grays…

I emailed Kinja support yesterday. They said that it was an editorial decision to remove the comment and told me to email to Deadspin’s staff via their “Tips” email address. These are the responses that I received:
