I wish I could go back 30 or so years to the time when everyone knew Trump was a conman and most people thought of him as a clown. I’ll never forgive Mark Burnett for creating The Apprentice and rehabbing Trump’s image as a savvy businessman.

still team harry and megan, only bc charles and camilla seem like tremendously tiresome people

So, it should tell you something about the state of the Democratic Party that this man is presently polling ahead of President Biden in key swing states.

I am flummoxed that the take here is that Johnson is somehow one of those “broke boys”, instead of some mixture of the evils of Republican loopholes (and competent exploitation thereof) and the torrent of improper disclosure (and other financial) scandals even Jez has been covering

Hey Jez - can we try not to put the spoilers in the photo / headline of the recap please?? I usually catch the episode the day after it airs, on Hulu, so it would be nice to be able to scroll by the article without it spoiling the show for me.

I have spent 50+ years living in this real world. I am fully aware of of the misogynistic and anti-sex nature of our culture.

Hehe...nice

I think one of the reasons I still “torture” my students with The Scarlet Letter is that I am still waiting for American society to realize that Hester Prynne was the most moral character in the narrative and that the Puritans were assholes for deeming her monster for the sin of sex.

You’re all for “sex positivity” but you seem to think that filming yourself having sex should disqualify you forever from running for office because that shows bad decision making skills. You cannot fathom that one might enjoy sex with their partner and use it to make a little extra cash and then some time later in…

I have read several places that this is a coordinated strategy to show Jordan losing support. There are apparently a lot more than 20 who don’t want him, but some are voting for him in the first few rounds to make it look like he has more support than he really does. With every vote, a few more are switching over to…

“Alluding.”  Please.

SBF is a weird ass person. I watched the 60 minutes thing on him with Michael Lewis about his new book Going Infinite and boy does it raise the eyebrows on how truly eccentric the guy seemed to be.

So...do you think storm chasing should be illegal then?

I listened to the episode and I appreciate that Shepard eventually says he realized that what he did to JVN was the same thing he used to do in terms of saying things like “I don’t get offended by Ice Cube saying white devils so why do Black people get offended by slurs?” and copping to how “just asking questions”…

I think people are put off by Julia Fox’s obvious thirst, when the reality is that they are all that thirsty, she’s just more honest about it.

Transitioning, hormones/hormone suppressors, and mental health are all serious and very personal medical issues. That is why those are the kinds of decisions that should be made with the best medical and psychological care available. It is called “best medical practice” for a reason. So, unless we are going to debate…

The method of using incredibly insignificant stories of trans athletes as a cudgel to squash all trans rights is identical to the way bigots use random examples of “unfairness” to try and stop all affirmative action programs.

I like Fetterman and MTG is a disgrace. That being said, shouldn’t Senators freaking dress up for work?

“Libertarian” doesn’t seem to mean anything anymore, besides some snow flakey “free-thinker” label a specific brand of conservatives apply to themselves. Part of the starter-kit includes frequent use of economic and technical sounding buzz words and claims they’re focused on marketing-driven solutions and data and…

I still can’t believe they’re using the courts as a weapon against criminals.
