I love this speech and really admire Shonda Rhimes, while simultaneously not liking any of the shows she has created. Crazy? Don’t care.

Wow he’s being a real Arne, when he should be more of a Hassan. Fellas, don’t be an Arne.

Good Lord, people really took offense with Krakowski’s character arch? It was an absolutely clear jab at racism in our society, not at the Native-Americans themselves. There’s no way to be confused about that!

An entirely reasonable comparison that any reasonable person would draw.

It also helps that she is just so damn good in the film. Daisy Ridley pulls off the typical Star Wars angsty struggle with the Force without coming off as whiny, something never accomplished in the prequels.

How bizarre. I don’t worship people - their talents, maybe- but not them.

I may have said this elsewhere before, but Han Solo basically awoke my womanhood.

I think something inside my brain just broke.

despite because of Ricky Gervais.

Seeing people who have callously committed horrific acts on other people start to cry when forced to take (some) responsibility for their conduct always makes me hate them even more.

I don’t think it looks very... real.

This says 18, not 13, right?

If I know my pro-life rhetoric, they will say that he took it too far but that some people are just sensitive to the Injustice of it All (tm). Never mind that this particular PP didn’t provide abortions and most of the pregnant women there were seeking prenatal testing, you see, because Planned Parenthood is evil and…

“I was just as unaware that Canada had Aboriginals”

...........really?

I’m surprised that this surprises anyone. His difficult personality is more anecdotal than, as you reference, Chevy Chase, but no less notable. Pretty much everything he does is set in opposition to what the current authority wants him to do.

I don’t know the situation but I think you are reading a lot into this. It sounds like a frustrated mom dealing with a major transition period in the relationship. The rest is just projection. Eta: and to add, young people also have to learn to have a relationship as an adult with their parents. It’s usually a mutual…

I look at it more as “See, this is what should actually have a waiting period” rather than drawing a direct parallel. Because a lot of the restrictions on abortions would actually be totally reasonable and helpful when applied to gun purchasing.

Celeb parents will do these in part to make paparazzi photos less valuable. Getting a photo of a never before seen child is usually a MUCH bigger payday than getting a photo of a kid who was just all over People.

One of the most valuable things a comments section can provide is a chance for people to provide alternate perspectives and share their own experiences relevant to the topic. If all we have to say is “wow great article,” then why bother saying anything? It’s not like Dogslikecheese is claiming the article is untrue,…

The US needs a real 3rd party. The existing ones are fringe collections of political castaways. None are really effective at any one thing except pulling votes from major party candidates. I have yet to see a serious 3rd party candidate outside of that cadaver Ralph Nader.
