People keep arguing about “cancel” culture, but I see very few examples of folks making real apologies and amends. Also, Kevin Hart has not been driven out of private life. He’s got 6-7 projects coming up that seem to be proceeding apace (although who knows what will happen. He could move from “I am a victim of social…

They don’t even have to be particularly good at twitter. Just google “Star Name Homophobia” [use bigotry of choice] and shit will reveal itself.

Everything about Epstein is an absolute gold mine for conspiracy nuts

Know people in the astronomy community and have also been hearing this for years. Have been wondering when it was going to come out.

I first read that as “martini wind” and got super excited.

Judge Mark Herr “admonished” Zimmerman, who wasn’t in court that day, according to ABC News

This has got me thinking. My practice is to set up and drink a class of water and then buy my coffee. The staff know me, but I don’t know if they know that because I go to the back room. They just see me when I pop up online.

Am I wrong, or is this the second episode in a row where the Doctor gets sick momentarily? Do we think Chibnall is going someplace with this?

“turning”?  

THANK YOU. Most antiheroes don’t have a group of ride-or-die friends.

She doesn’t actually say they called her racist and something bad happened as the result of that. She said she’s AFRAID they will call her racist. She also doesn’t respond to the actual advice about being more forceful with her landlord. Basically, she is saying that she can’t stand up for herself with her landlord or…

The next thing in whiteness: claiming to worry about being called racist rather than demanding that your landlord/police deal with your shitty neighbors: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/9u3xwz/dealing_with_horrible_and_loud_neighbors_that_are/ 

You think this will get better when your kids are older. Maybe DST will be canceled by the time yours are teenagers, but otherwise, LOL.

Kirsten Gillibrand must come across differently outside of New York. I’m not negative about her (and didn’t want Clinton as a candidate despite voting for her) but nothing she’s done makes me think Gillibrand would be a better president than Clinton.

This is great news. I can’t find out how much Woody Allen got to write a six episode series that even he hated, but I want Jenkins to get a lot more than that. And I want him to have a multi-picture deal like Allen.

That’s how you end up trapped in the Upside Down.

I’m thinking he signed off on firing her to direct attention away from the many reasons he should be fired (matt lauer, cough cough).

I’m sick of networks using one racist incident as the excuse to fire people. Andy Lack hired Kelly because of her racism, so to pretend that racism —rather than the fact that they overpaid her to be a shitty talk show host, with low ratings and a toxic work environment—is just bullshit that feeds into the white victim…

Evidently, she’s got another gig at ABC? I hope they schedule it against whatever show MK gets next and Tamron beats her pants off.

I’m glad you mentioned his other podcast, which relieves me a bit. I have been a fan, but my sense of the radio work that aired in america (This American Life, etc) is that part of his brand/charm is his way of pointing out the slight (and sometimes major) absurdities of his subjects—and his own—not sure how that…
