The alternative is simply that she’s a craven, spineless weasel entirely unworthy of her position.*operating at the behest of corporate forces that would strongly appreciate her not upsetting a predictable system that rewards all of them handsomely.

They change the locks when the resignation letter hits.

Well, you weren’t the worst writer on Splinter, so good luck at New Republic. It’s probably screwed eventually too - the New Republic has always been a magazine whose business model is “rich guy using it for prestige and to get into elite DC Social Circles” - but the writings’ good while it lasts. 

Can’t speak on what really happened here but it really seems like NCIS is a really shit place to work that’s only still on the air because of syndication money and it’s too expensive to nix the contracts of certain actors.

I get your point, and while I dont 100% agree with you (I think there is something revolutionary about this former Mormon coming out), this article is just very poorly written. Your comments about her relative safety in coming out is much more poignant then the half-snark above.

Exactly. I’m not a fan of Julianne Hough, but what she’s talking about rang true for me as a bi woman in a committed relationship with a man. The snarkiness of the article made me feel like shit and reminded me why I never tell people in my life (besides my boyfriend) that I’m bi.

Yeah like...why are we bagging on someone whose seemingly come out as bi or pan? Really confused here. 

I honestly don’t understand wtf is going on in this article. Is it supposed to be entirely sarcastic or are there moments of truth here? 

Gabbard is getting a bit of that after her, admittedly effective, challenge of Harris last night. The fact that everybody knows she’ll be gone soon allows people to ignore the fact that she was an avowed homophobe even after she became a public persona who, like Jill Stein before her, cynically allows murderous authori…

The debate was hot garbage for all candidates involved. It was just a firing squad of ‘I don’t know about that.. but what would THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT have to say!?’ any time they were asked a question. I don’t feel like anyone had anything substantive to say other than taking shots at Biden.

fun trivia: she’s got the same vaccine takes as Buttigeig

I don’t get the misguided love this person got over some wonderfully timed platitudes. Her mindless vaccine takes and bullshit pseudoscience background are more than enough to dismiss her as a cuckoo for cocoa puffs numpty head who fooled more people than I thought possible.

Fair thee well, you Voltron of Moderate Naysayers and Mini Bidens. May the cable news network commentor bull pen and Barnes and Nobles book tours serve you well.

That’s one of the problems - nowadays, the stuff Seinfeld did is almost a cliche. But when it was originally on the air it was revolutionary.

Not a youth but unfortunately I can’t really watch it anymore. Like The Simpsons every single comedy since has ripped off their jokes and structure to the point of it basically being Gen X I Love Lucy.

I have some younger friends and none of them like it. I think so much since then has derived and built off it that it’s no longer original. 

Your contention is that the show is “so King”. You confrontationally ask Emily, “Were you ever a King fan?” Well, I was and am. Not that it matters because we’re not gatekeeping King fandom here. But if you’re gonna act like King fandom is a prerequisite for understanding and appreciating Castle Rock, I’m here to say:…

I’m a King fan and I gotta say: get off it. Seriously. You are investing SO much more clarity of theme and plot to this show than it actually merits. I think your fandom has clouded your judgment. I’ve been binge watching today and I just don’t think the series lives up to King. It’s like a decent but straightforward c…
