I mean, for now I don’t want to jump to conclusions at least as far as Bergdahl’s motives go, but I’ve known more than one 23 year old who’s served in Iraq or Afghanistan. This would certainly would not appear reasonable to them, and they would definitely understand that deserting in an area with lots of Taliban would…

Yeah, I’ll be interested to hear more on that too, but even if that was the case and he was concerned about unnecessary risks to soldiers, then, well, he did the most counterintuitive thing possible by wandering off alone into an area with a high likelihood of capture, since the military would be looking for him which…

Clean eating for some, minature American flags for others, I guess.

I think it’s perfectly fair to offer criticism, but the way internet outrage has snowballed over the past few years, it seems like we’ve lost all sense of proportionality. It’s one thing to be like, “Hey Patricia, congrats, but you should have considered X Y and Z” and another to be like, “Patricia Arquette is…

I’m 100% sure this already happened last month. Next you’re gonna tell me it’s Berenstain...

I basically agree with you. I’m not crazy about the influence the community exerts over local politics, and I really don’t like that they basically got de facto immunity from criminal prosecution under Charles Hynes. That said, I don’t think many outside of the community take the allegations from them about…

That’s true, and I’m sure it doesn’t help the endemic poverty in the hasidic community.

I’ve noticed the situation in New York with private religious schools v. public schools is generally the opposite of what it is in the rest of the country. Catholic schools in New York often serve poor and minority populations and some are closing now because they’re struggling financially. I’m not sure if the…

Wait. She’s in Jessica Jones? BRB getting on this bandwagon.

Yeah, it looks like it could be decent. I think the genre’s in kind of a weird place though. Indie stuff like Bone Tomahawk and Slow West had good buzz, but it seems like they’re trying to sell this to a wider audience and unless they 100% nail it, it could be a hard sell.

I’m so glad my job doesn’t involve press tours, cause I stick my foot in my mouth far worse than this at least twice a week ... on a good week.

Eh, I don’t know. If I had a family member accused of a horrible crime and the resources to post bail, I think there’s a good chance I’d do it, even if I suspected they might be guilty, unless I had a compelling reason to believe they were going to flee the country or offend again while awaiting trial. Now, if she…

This 100%. He is very likely the most intelligent person in the race (the whole race, not just the Republicans), but is somehow more calculating and narcissistic than he is smart. He’s constructed his entire persona based on what he believes a naive, folksy, and often toxic corner of the Republican base wants to hear.…

I think the issue people are seeing here is less that the film isn’t authetic to what we suppose ancient egyptians might have looked like, and more that audiences are tired of fantasy films assuming that white is safe fantasy-neutral casting.

It was in 1975. I don’t think it was a sex strike though, they didn’t come to work or provide childcare. It sort-of worked.

There are a couple different scam camps.

He looks like what would happen if Zac Efron and Oscar Isaac had a baby. Which is not a bad thing.

I think she has ... she confirmed her Triceratops outrage was a joke, at the very least. However, even if she is joking here, I’m not convinced this one’s particularly funny...

Hope she’s trolling, as she was with this:
