Hi, former print journalist here, and a woman at that. No, it is absolutely not a tool in the toolbox. When you’re an actual journalist, the message about sex with sources is very clear. It is an unequivocal violation of journalistic ethics. You can and will and should be fired for it. What’s more, female reporters…

I mean the article quite literally says that Jewell saved a bunch of lives and was unfairly vilified, so I’m not sure what you think Sam needs to be learning.

Garbage deserves more recognition. Version 2.0 is fantastic from start to finish.

He’s always great in everything, but he’ll always be Jimmy James to me.

Um, Alison Brie? Was there anyone who appeared more consistently on so many of the most acclaimed series of t he decade?

Stephen Root is the MVP of the entire television and movie era. I’m willing to go that far.

And while I can see why Shonda Rhimes is on the list, she’s never made a show that is anyone is going to care about five years after it’s off the air. She may have a large body of work, but it’s all utterly disposable.

Good point! He’s a real MVP and I’m always delighted when he shows up in things (which is frequently!) 

Allison Jones?

Natasha Leggero and Rikki Lindhome should get more love for creating, starring in, and show-running Another Period

Interesting list, and I absolutely love any time Jeffrey Wright gets the credit he deserves, as that man is fantastic both on- and off-screen.

I think this is one interesting view, while there’s also the other straightforward view of white male entitlement that when you do a thing you deserve praise and acclaim. Like, if you put enough nice coins into a woman then sex is supposed to fall out. Or just basically how mediocre white men seem to fail upward while…

What’s missing are the people who really know they don’t belong in the Good Place. Yes Jason knows and told Chidi (with John now finding out) but it’s only Jason. Eleanor knowing she didn’t belong, and that she was an actual error, and finding out about Jason being an error as well was the spark that set them on the…

The premiere of Batwoman was rough, but I’m hopeful it’ll pick up steam. My big issue is that they’ve crammed in all the DC CW tropes instead of of letting it spread its wings.

“(some of you...weirdly vehemently.)“ Fuck that, art is subjective. I enjoy your takes even if they’re not entirely my own. Janet being significant to the trans community makes a lot of sense to me. 

Oh I really love likening it to the trans experience! The desire to become more your ideal person is fairly universal, but Michael’s journey does hit some specific notes and it’s fun to think about.

More trans Michael: literally taking down a photo of the old you and talking about how much it hurts to look at it, and being afraid of the people you knew “before” still seeing you the same old way.

In the end, Good Omens boiled down to what it always has been, a fine piece of Crowley/Aziraphale slash fiction.

I’m really unhappy with how they played Adam’s change of heart. It took way too long and, if memory serves me right, too much nastiness to his friends to get there. But what bugs me the most was that they left out the reason he did it in the book, because when he said he was going to take Tadfield, Them said he…

I think Gonzo understands Dickens better than most because they both are known to enjoy chicken fucking
