Basically, the same shit they’re doing now to Ed Sheeran. For awhile it was Anne Hathaway, then it was Ariana Grande, and whatever. The writers get on a haterade about a specific celebrity and comments are full of lemmings.

The Gawkerverse has a really uncomfortable streak of building up and tearing down young (mostly white) famous women. I’ve always thought it disconcerting at the least, and overly woke posturing at the worst, all at the expense of real people where the punishment doesn’t really fit the alleged crime.

Agreed. I find it weird this is debatable about whether its wrong. Its wrong. Its worse than just wearing make up. You’re setting equally bad expectations by wearing all these invisible makeup products and then selling them as your natural skin/face.

That is still a significant amount of effort. I fully support Alicia on this, but as someone with acne scars, under eye hyper pigmentation, and sparse and nearly invisible eyebrows, it’s important to note the effort. Is putting a clear mattifyer significantly different than my tinted moisturizer with an spf? No. I

But she’s not deliberately NOT wearing make up. She deliberately PRETENDING not to wear make up while she’s actually wearing make up to bring into focus the unrealistic expectations being placed on a woman’s appearance while creating another level of the already existing deception by trying to pass off a face with

John McCain is a coward and deserves as much pain as the rest of them. Don’t fall for the maverick nonsense, he always falls in line.

But but but... what about Crispin Glover? Everybody forgets he was in this movie too, being his usual weird-ass self.

How was he radicalized? Where was he praying? Why didn’t neighbors report him?

Yep. I’m here for Carol until she is officially killed off. Though, ugh, I really want Rosita to turn it around because AMC shows are so plagued with the most loathed women characters. It’s Skylar White, Lori, and Andrea (who seriously, never did anything truly wrong and was demonized for trying to broker peace

Do it! Plenty of cats in shelters are waiting for a loving home.

Oh lord, maybe I’m an extremely fucked up and psychopathic person, but I maybe would (although, not if my presence tipped the balance between someone getting executed or not). I am against the death penalty, but I also believe that so many of us are so far removed from ever seeing the actual consequences of this law

Now that the AHCA has gone down in flames, I fully expect Ryan and the other Republicans to throw Trump under the bus now that they know for certain he’s a lame duck and won’t help them get their legislative agenda through. They have little to gain from such a huge liability especially as the weeks and months go on

Katy Sagal, along with Mary McDonnell and Rachel Griffiths, is a core part of the triumvirate that I’m sure will one day make The Best Film Ever Created.

The problem is that calling a “straw man” is more likely to turn opinion against the reporter, than spicer, because it seems like the reporter isn’t listening to spicer at all or is using “straw man” as a way to avoid responding.

1) Completely redoing your constitutional model is not easy. Why haven’t we Americans gotten rid of the electoral college? It’s anti-democracy, after all. Having a queen with no formal power is less anti-democratic than having Presidential canidates get over 2 million more votes and still lose. Changing things is

You know, given the agenda and priorities of this administration, I’m actually kind of okay with a level of incompetence that prevents them from achieving anything. I mean, obviously that’s pretty terrible too, because it’s not like America’s problems just sit and wait for the Democrats to get back into office, but if

All immigrant groups in the US assimilate. They all bring a bit of their home country to this one, changing it just a bit, but they all assimilate. The older immigrant groups assimilated and the newer ones are assimilating—faster, even. I’m the son of two immigrants and I learned English from Mr. Rogers and Sesame

Ryan Reynolds is the next door neighbor you see mowing the lawn intermittently for years, yet never feel compelled to meet.
