“There is no need for a predominately Black cast and crew to rely on vaguely Indian or Middle Eastern caricatures for a cheap laugh.”

Politics Corner - Quick Hits. A Democratic Senator announced his resignation. That requires discussion. I said when the Tweeden allegation surfaced that I didn’t think that alone merited a resignation. I stand by that. I also said that if credible evidence of a pattern of misconduct came to light, he should resign. I…

“Scully, you’ll need to fake a medical emergency.”

I still don’t get why people are acting like Lauer’s firing comes as some sort of a shock. The only shock is that he was allowed to do this shit for as long as he did. The man is a true piece of shit in every way, and perhaps the hackiest non-Fox News anchor around.

Bob, you could have told somebody.

This feels like a great place to point out that the Chrome extension Kinjamprove comes with a block function.

What was the highest point of the Event to you guys and gals? I personally loved the wedding fight where no one was wearing their normal oufit.

“Why do you need a heart? It’s not like you’re using it.”

Gay Snart happened and that made my Coldflash shipping heart happy.

I give some of the corny oldness a pass mostly if I look at Nola as some sort of black Girls* character - overly artsy black hipster who has some street smarts but is definitely art schools all the damn way (pass to black female form - that sounds like arts school regurgitation) with apartment she shouldn’t even…

I’m guessing it’s just too long living down the rabbit hole. You start out with some basic stories about the media is doing sloppy work reporting on your preferred nutjob, and it may even have a kernel of truth to it. And your base loves it, and they eat that shit up. So you go a little farther and accuse them of only…

I’m fascinated by CBS’s success at being aggressively mediocre. They aren’t even trying to be appointment television. It’s one bland, macho-man procedural after another plus horrible sitcoms plus the occasional knockoff of a better show. The last category includes Young Sheldon (Wonder Years) and Code Black (ER). That…

I never understood how someone thought it would be a good idea to make a show that sounds like some glorified version of dipshits on Reddit blaming innocent people for the Boston Marathon Bombing.

It’s almost like Insecure and Jessica James are completely different projects about wildly different characters from whole other groups of creators.

I watched an HBO doc called Mommy Dead and Dearest. It was about young woman named Gypsy Rose Blanchard who convinced her mentally ill boyfriend to kill her mother. Gypsy’s mother had Munchausens by proxy. Gypsy’s mother drugged her, made her get multiple unnecessary surgeries, forced her to spend her entire life in a…

Ian Levine is an obnoxious person, but in that sort of tragic, compelling way where he seems like he’d be a good subject for a biopic.

This is something like the fourth or fifth version of ‘Shada’ that’s been touted as the definitive reconstruction. At this rate they’re going to displace the Metaphor of the Cave as the exemplar of Platonic Idealism.

“I’ve flipped so many men they call me The Skillet.”

I’m just glad that that means more Charlotte involved in the case of week stuff.

Charlotte: As a bonus I will be hanging around here more often
