Talese entered the “say despicable shit just to get attention” phase of his career long ago. Which is a shame, not only because he was once a brilliant writer but also because he says despicable shit.

My take—he’ll be dead soon, and until then, a useful reminder that this is what the response to sexual assault/ harassment looked like, recently enough that an 85 yr old would still feel somewhat comfortable saying it out loud.

That makes two victories for Virginia tonight. I’m proud of my people.

Soon, NBC will be saying “we want our money back — money back — money back.”

If they could make such a weirdly specific premise last seven seasons, I’d eat at Chili’s for losing the bet.

The first thing I thought of was Office Space. Expect lots of flair.

The Air Force reportedly dropped the ball on that one and didn’t notify the proper authorities

It’s not rocket science, you guys. The idea is not that Disney is “punished” by them not going to the screenings, it’s saying they won’t be the stick Disney uses to beat the LA Times. They implicitly benefit from having a competitor (of sorts) out of the running in something that rewards publishing as soon as…

Seems like a solid stance to take. For those who seem incredulous — this isn’t about Disney “quaking”, it’s about refusing to take advantage of an unfair punishment they’ve handed a different publication. Trying to limit the (intended) disincentive to publish anti-Disney pieces.

Why is everyone roasting the AV Club for this? It is the right thing to do and even if they are not the Times or The Post, it still matters.

Could be interesting if it’s the Silmarillion. With a much changed script of course.  

I disagree with the implication that mistrusting Michael and not being able to be totally invested in his journey is necessarily a bad thing. Because that’s what it’s like when you find out someone you cared about hurt and lied to and betrayed you, and when you have to keep knowing them anyway. Right now, Eleanor and…

Just because his lifeless husk has been sent to the far reaches of the void, doesn’t mean Derek won’t be back. That may sound sarcastic, or delusional, but I fully expect Mantzoukas (his brain is wrong) to be back at some point. The last time we saw him, in his closed casket, he said ‘Derek!’

“Jason went to “Lynyrd Skynyrd High School,” which, from his description, sounds more like a sex abuse pyramid scheme run out of a tugboat graveyard.”

But when are they getting to the fireworks factory 🎆??

Im pretty sure if a dude made that weight comment to my child Id open hand smack the piss out of him, fuck everyone who supports this fucking rapist

So disappointing. Princess Lea was right there! She could have grabbed that Remington bronze behind her and bonked him.

Kind of weird people talk about the city of Dallas killing Kennedy rather than Lee Harvey Oswald. Nobody blamed Buffalo NY for McKinley (or maybe they did, I’m hardly an expert).
