Really?

Ray: “My parents left me that house. I was born there!”

Probably because so much of what passes for being progressive online is taking ideologically sexy but wildly unrealistic positions and then shitting all over people who don’t match those positions 100%

It sounds like Hamilton Nolan is writing under the pen name Joan Summers. 

So Jezebel is in the “Property is Theft” camp now? Good to know.

Look... I get it, Bezos has far too much money and income inequality is bullshit and Amazon workers are treated like shit. That’s shitty.

Yes, too bad. You could warn them... if only you spoke Hovitos.

“Uh... Master... Master Skywalker... may I speak with you...?”

Whoa.  Tony Romo reads books?

She’s not interviewing the accuser, social scientists, or commentators on gender hierarchy in the USA. And by continuing the conversation among his celebrity friends and peers, she doesn’t appear to be looking for new information or advancing the dialogue.

1) I’m hoping this goes somewhere but I really don’t enjoy the all-new all xenophobic/racist Federation. We had one truly bright future depicted in Sci Fi where we made it, and then we fucked it up again. sigh 

You’re right, we don’t know if Matt donated or not. But this shaming trend is bullshit. I don’t know about you but I can acknowledge the guy and his liabilities and still praise him for his donation. 

“And so now, so very tired and away from it all, the former captain of the Enterprise spends his days as a vinter.”

Not to mention how often that variation of the story sank into Prequel levels of cheesiness and sentimentality

I mean, I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other about how Rose was used in ROS, but that’s largely because of how poorly the character was written in TLJ.

No. Because no one had any clue what the hell was going on. The trilogy should have been fleshed out early, with overall plot and character arcs derived long before production began. Instead, Kennedy screwed up from the jump. It’s fine having different directors (Lucas, Kershner and Marquand helmed Episodes 4, 5, 6,…

I think the frustration lies with TFA going in one direction and then TLJ going in another. Also, seeing the characters change drastically from one movie to the next when they took place back to back. Not to mention the Canto Bight sequence felt like the prequels, new characters were added, and some of the plot…

Can’t imagine what you mean, he didn’t say a word about Rogue One.
