There’s a 1972 Joni Mitchell song that I’ve seen titled both ‘River’ and ‘Christmas Song’ (depending on where you look). It captured how all the forced holiday cheer only serves to redouble any personal heartbreak you may be suffering at the time.

No, I lived through it. Reagan was a fascistic blight on America the same way Trump is now.

This is what happens when Trump staffs agencies with golfing buddies, former bodyguards and caddies - or doesn’t fill positions at all. There’s literally nobody competent for him to hand over the responsibility for this to.

The (aging) old boy’s network hasn’t quite adjusted to the fact that Roger Ailes is no longer around to condone & defend.

I had to wait for Fox to unlock the episode 8 days late (Ugh) so I missed the window to watch the Thanksgiving episode on Thanksgiving. The scene I most related to was when Bob was really into prepping the carcass for cooking while those around him were repressing gags. I do love to get my hands on a nice fowl…

If you include the n word is pop lyrics then the n word’s going to get sung when fans sing your pop song.

Isn’t the big story in the press these days about people in Hollywood having to suck up to known sex predators in order to keep their jobs?

Back-in-the-day Trump was notorious for making glaringly racist anti-native American remarks back when east coast Indian casinos were outperforming his soon-to-fail Trump casino in Atlantic City.

Speaking as someone who spent 4/5ths of his adult life with facial hair, I must admit that really is a damned fine moustache.

Spielberg reminds me of Babe Ruth who held the record for both most home runs and also most strikeouts. With Spielberg you either get a diamond or you get a turd, and not much inbetween. Hard to believe the guy who gave us Schindler’s List also gave us Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

Really, you can delete the word ‘black’ from the description. Isn’t EVERY young TV and film heroine regardless of race spunky and streetwise and hip but also relatable and vulnerable and sexy? And lives in an apartment she could never really afford? That description goes back to Lois Lane in’Superman’ circa 1978. And…

Pretty good ratio, in that case.

Eventually the right wing sheep going to realize that ending net neutrality means taking bandwidth away from Brietfart and Infowars and handing it over to the Disney Channel.

Someone recently posted that the IQ of your average right winger is approximately 20 points lower than your average liberal. If you believe ‘net neutrality’ has anything at all to do with you getting blocked for posting racist Neonazi screeds on Twitter you are definitely at the low end of the bell curve.

I’m curious, what’s the proportion of women in the writer’s room for this show? Someone humorously commented that if Elon Musk had had one woman in the PR department for Tesla she would’ve been able to point out their logo looks just like an IUD. The boys club completely overlooked it.

There was a TV showrunner who recently said a male friend once told her they were lucky that they were both *just attractive enough* to find a mating partner. The implication being any more attractive and it becomes a pain-in-the-ass having to contend with the circling wolves.

That epithet was concocted by the GOP years ago *deliberately to be racist, offensive and insulting*. It came out of my own state during a senate campaign to denigrate the opposing candidate. You can’t have it both ways, you can’t use it as a deliberately racist slur and also claim its not a racist slur.

As an aside, the right wing was just caught red-handed trying to feel a patently false story to the Washington Post. It wasn’t related to Franken but its a red flag to not trust everything that appears in print, especially the first day it appears.

Yes Trump is vile. Yes, Trump followers are vile. But this particular racist insult predates Trump by several years and was pushed vigorously by the top GOP leadership. So its the entire Republican party that is vile.

In Remini’s current TV series the lead’s wife mysteriously died but because he’s a retired NYC cop nobody’s investigating
