So, you’re comfortable with diversity only being important in the US context?

Nah, this just reads like sour grapes from an outfit with its own long history of problems with journalistic integrity. MC even has a disclaimer, but it’s just not big enough? I wonder of it’s bigger or smaller than the tiny print that G/O Media “may get a commission” if I buy the UNIQLO jeans advertised above?

“TMZ is a parasite in the celebrity gossip industry”

Fuck Trump, but I don’t know how you can say “...all of which is irrelevant. Kamala Harris is on the ticket and whatever her personal views are they’ll be amended to fit with Joe Biden’s platform.” There is a not insignificant chance that Biden will not finish his term and Kamala will be president. I’m personally fine…

You want to hear more about his dead family?

There should be a law against remaking Hitchcock movies in particular (who isn’t even mentioned in the article?!). Fuck me when I have to insist to Netflix I’m not interested in a remake of Vertigo starring Robert Pattinson or some shot.

But the humor to all this, and the reason her colleagues are so quick to get rid of her, is that these supposed “representatives” of the communities were so easily fooled. Or cowed into not speaking up. She couldn’t have done any of this for so long without the complicity of a fat and happy academia. I'm a bit…

“The raids were indicative of a broader change in New Orleans, part of an effort to sanitize the French Quarter and make it palatable for white tourists”

San Francisco resident here. Hair salons are not open for inside service. Not really that confusing. She was aware of the rules, just didn’t think they applied to her. It’s a silly “own goal” that you just have to shrug at, since of course it's a total distraction from the president’s own COVID incompetance.

Ever hear of Elizabeth Warren?

I mean, was she a “serious academic?” I get that she worked for a real university, but my brief exposure to her writing and speaking makes clear she just spewed pseudo-intllectual word salad that would never survive the scrutiny of a real discipline. She just sounds like a Jezebel hot-take personified.

Doubling down on Chasten being the “wrong kind of gay” is really the pot calling the kettle black of "unresolved issues."

Not to mention they say “we look forward to spending the next years of our lives bringing this to life for audiences around the world,” which pretty clearly means “we look forward to retiring on this sweet, sweet PRC cash.” I’d bet a million Renminbi that Joan here hasn’t even read the books, and if she were to learn…

Can't bother to get the facts right for the Chinese person. Joan's racism and sci-fi appropriation are BOTH showing.

What does the fact that you can get an indoor haircut in Boston have to do with San Francisco still banning them?

Yeah, it seems super necessary to litigate whether a song was mean many years ago after someone has died. /s

Thanks for answering seriously. And also for confirming that most people are morons who consume garbage.

Tangentially related, a movie podcast I listened recently mentioned that Roman Polsnski was accused of sexual assault. I had to write those fuckers (who I generally like and I think are conditioned to be careful) and say this guy PLED GUILTY.

Practically speaking that's what the death penalty in California is.

I’m thinking film work in the San Fernando Valley is probably more likely.
