most of the interviewees flaked out

Part of the problem for restaurant (and retail, and any other low-end job in this economy) workers is that a lot of the folks who work those jobs do so because they’re trapped in a loop where they don’t have the time (or the risk tolerance) to make a play for a better job when, y’know, they have to go to work and work…

It’s almost as if women and young girls are considered expendable, so long as the men who abuse them have even an modicum of talent with which to distract the public... because no matter how much evidence one can present, “WE DON’T KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.” And, “WHY WOULD SHE BE ALONE WITH HIM IF SHE DIDN’T WANT…

One would hope that the magic number for teams being willing to treat a franchise quarterback as toxic would be under 22.

The fact that after 9 years, a few dozen episodes, and lots of genuine terror of the White Walkers (in my house, anyway), the fact that it took 20 seconds for Arya to kill the main one and about 2 seconds for the others to shatter and die, has spoilt the whole thing for me. Almost as bad was degrading Tyrion to a side…

Hathaway has said in real life she pretty much exclusively goes by Annie, but due to SAG regulations, she had to change her name to Anne Hathaway and now everyone calls her Anne instead of Annie which she doesn’t like.

I agree it may be a deliberate choice on the part of production, but I also wonder how the age of the queens factors in here. This was something that was discussed more in earlier seasons, but a lot of the contestants have fewer and fewer links to some of those pop culture camp moments. That’s not new, per se - Jinx’s…

We can shut it down folks. The worst take of the day is here

Someone doesn't understand anything 

Jesus, two years later and I’m never going to stop feeling vicariously embarrassed by people calling Captain Marvel’s 90 seconds of air force content that’s entirely about how they’re a bunch of misogynist pricks ‘military propaganda’.

Gigi had 4 wins last season and still lost to Jaida. 

It’s an interesting debate, and one that deserves a place in discussing this show. Reality shows in general edit real people into cartoon charicatures of themselves and offer them up for public judgment; this show, among many, has done an incredibly poor job of protecting them from toxic fan behaviour once the show…

Kandy’s high final placement wouldn’t have drawn nearly as much ire, though, if she hadn’t been so grating and obnoxious and had actually performed well during the first half of this long, long season. And she called herself a “villain” tonight, so she’s clearly well aware of reality show tropes, and is willing to use…

the difference is Kandy paid someone to make hers.

Top 3! And Kandy.

Kandy bitch count: 8

The partition plan was the only avenue available to stop both communities trying to butcher each other in the streets at that time, and yes overall for the whole of the Mandate it was estimated at one third Jewish and two thirds Muslim. The problem is that it drastically differed depending on where you were, with…

There’s an easy fix for this of course.

The #FreeBritney movement is a conspiracy theory. The basis of the movement is the notion that Britney Spears is essentially being held hostage and prisoner by her father, who is draining her of money, and that he fabricated claims about her mental health in order to gain control of her finances. It also spirals into…

No, they are conspiracy theorists who have latched onto this situation like parasites and projected all kinds of narratives onto Britney and her father and enjoy the clout that comes with getting The New York Times and other media sources interview them about someone they have never met and know nothing about. They…
