I was so happy Tatiana Maslany won. Sci-fi stuff never gets anything and even though it was deserved I assumed it be overlooked. Well deserved and also for Rami Malek, I thought he was going to win though while I was happy I wasn’t as pleasantly surprised.

I’m actually surprised the Sherlock won. The was one of their weakest showings.... some of the best one liners, but really?

So damn happy for Rami Malek, Tatiana Maslany (surprise!), and JLD. GoT is kind of a yawn for me at this point. I do so wish Outlander had been nominated for SOMETHING.

If ever there were someone who should have read their own username before posting, by God you are that fucking person.

I was going to say she looks less eyerolly and more sad and withdrawn, but whatever, Stassa. [sips tea]

Government employees using their government positions to threaten and intimidate people into silence is as clear-cut a violation of first amendment rights as you’ll get. They’re not making these statements as private citizens, they’re speaking as POLICE on behalf of POLICE.

Way to post a meme. And you are correct. Nobody is being jailed. However when the simple act of not standing during the anthem, (which in itself is a very loud example of expression) generates a knee jerk reaction, then no we don’t value freedom of expression as much as we claim. It’s not enough to simply not jail…

That comic is all well and good. But this involves police officers...So it actually is the government trying to suppress Free Speech.

you do not forfeit your right to free speech. though in many cases the employer may choose not to punish your speech. the NFl does not want to in this case.

I watched the first episode but it just wasn’t interesting enough to continue watching it. We have been catching up this week on Transparent. I think my husband puts it on because he thinks its funny when I yell at Maura’s kids. Seriously- those kids are fucking terrible. They are the worst.

A staunchly Republican Transgender Olympic Athlete is not relateable?
