I’m a huge musical theatre fan and I fucking adored La La Land. Loved it, loved the music, loved the homage to both Freed unit MGM musicals and the work of Michel Legrand. I will be thrilled if it wins.

I’m assuming pegleg is white and male so for him (and I guess me), the answer is “nothing really too bad will happen to us.”

That assumes the “pain” of what’s to come won’t include a full transition to authoritarianism, that people will successfully resist that. That’s far from guaranteed. If that happens, things are going to be very, very bad and the country might not ever recover. The shitshow that’s collapsing could include a…

Yes, but how much collateral damage will be done in the meantime?

The Zeitgeist? Thirty years ago, Margaret Atwood said she set herself one rule when writing The Handmaid’s Tale: Write nothing about Gilead that she couldn’t point to as having happened. Nothing has changed.

Oh! Extra request.

io9 commenters, hey, sup, how’s it going? I got a slight favor to ask.

In many parts of the US this has been the zeitgeist for decades. See also Ireland.

Why the hell does Black Widow’s hair changing make a bit of difference?

All to avoid Swedish prison. He could have been done already. Instead he is still holed up in his room.

Not exactly what happened but it is kind of immaterial either way. Saying that the reason you give such good head is due to the priest who molested you and that those relationships can be enriching for a 13 year old kid is something most of us reject and we must forcibly reject it in the theater of public opinion as a…

In his defense, Milo pointed to an alleged double standard: the “jokes” he made in the video were no different than those heard in any “drag bar”—a ridiculous distraction from his own diminished career prospects.

He is a gay man who is aggressively anti-LGBT equality. The Alt-Right supported him for this one trick and fueled his nonsense with attention - much the same way a frat house would keep feeding the house dog beans just to keep it farting for entertainment purposes.

Alternative reality, it’s the liberals fault for being intolerant. Yea, we’re intolerant of pedophiles and racists. Sick of these cousin fucking delplorables.

And of course Assange defends him. Hope that asshole enjoys 3 more years of living in a room.
