damn, you just got scolded by a Chia Pet.

Tearing up a picture of the pope on live TV might not have been the best way to call attention to the church’s various abuses. Then again, it’s only a photograph; it’s not like she physically attacked the pope or called for violence against him or Catholics more generally. People’s obsession with symbols is weird. 

I read the NYT piece yesterday and thought it quite thoughtful and enlightening. Ms O’Connor has been through a lot. I’m glad to see her at peace out the other side of a turbulent life. 

Everyone was mad at her for calling out the catholic church and then it turned out she was right. Don’t think any other problems she has negates that in the slightest

I suppose you also consider snuff films to be romantic comedies? If your intention isn't to minimize and disregard a violent attack then I don't know what the fuck you're trying to do here...

Wow, it’s really really hard not to laugh at this. Soylent Green, you evil sonofabitch. Are you even people?

Christina Ricci for Morticia.

I guess I always assumed Gomez was Latino, which made it extra refreshing he was played by an actual Latino in the movies. Nice to see that get cemented a bit more with this casting.

I’m trying to wrap my head around the sight of Prince and Sinead O’Connor involved in a foot chase through L.A. in the middle of the night and NOT have “Yakety Sax” play in my head when I do.

From what I’ve read, that was all Robbie, because Deadpool, or something. Personally, I think it does the movie (and the character) a disservice by purposely excluding the very audience for which Harley was originally created, but wtf do I know?

My vote is Jessica Chastain, I think as actresses she’d be a fun pairing with Robbie, and she could pull off the PhD/botanist aspect of the character as well as the femme fatale part.

Farrakhan is indeed horrible, but this article is worth reading for a perspective on why he still has appeal and influence.

I’m glad Stanfield apologized but I’m more bothered some people find that Farrakhan is worth discussing. He’s just another flavor of conservative, reactionary religiousity that makes me glad I’m agnostic.

That’s a whole different pile of worms. The short version is Lindsay apology rings hollow when she misgendered a non-binary person in the video and her own issues with how she allegedly gaslit a former friend of hers whom was allegedly assaulted by a mutual friend of theirs.

“He’s playing Jake Paul by way of Jared Leto’s Joker”

Oh hey an actual apology. No doubling down, no ignoring your fans who feel hurt, no accepting lovebombings from bigoted abusers, no shouting “cancel culture” at every opportunity while calling your critics “wokescolds” and “Diet Nazis” for asking you to not be an exculusionist asshole while saying that your YouTube…

So shocked that a discussion about Louis Farrakhan would devolve into anti-Semitic garbage said no one ever.

It’s so weird that being antisemitic is the only type of hate speech where you’re immediately forgiven for a half-assed apology!

This sounds bad and offensive on a surprising number of levels.

Jason Schwartzman is Talia Shire’s son, which kind of blew my mind.
