Ugggggggggggggh we’re still pretending like HOUSE OF CARDS is good?

No CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND? No good. Nothing else this year was half as sharp.

Samantha Bee is the best. Just... flat out the best.

This just makes me even more excited to see it, to be honest.

Protest votes: Now with added consequences!

So far as I know, that’s just a rumor, probably wishful thinking. The average retirement age of a justice is 78; Thomas is 68. We’re likely stuck with him through 2-3 more cycles at least.

Thomas is a waste of space, but don’t forget Alito in your criticisms. Sadly, since he was put forth in 2006, he’ll be with us for a long damn time, and he’s AWFUL.

That IS what they want to do. The fundamental argument of these conservatives is, “Government is broken, it doesn’t work, it should be smaller and replaced my a more efficient private system whenever possible.”

Doesn’t matter if their base dies. If stack they win this election and stack the Supreme Court properly, any attempt at progressivism will be dead on arrival, and that’s not counting the enduring damage already done to personal rights, textbook creation, gerrymandering, sex ed funding, gun rights, etc... which would…

While mass incarceration is a huge problem and I think that sentences should err towards leniency, if we want to have a system in which people trust the judiciary, the judiciary can’t SUDDENLY remember the problem with mass incarceration and overlong sentences when it comes to rich white rapists, and then promptly…

I pulled it off in a match a couple days ago. It’s RIDICULOUSLY satisfying.

It is entirely possible that we have not yet put that plot together.

Worth noting, if that plot description is accurate: The necklace is only the beginning, as they then have to frame someone wealthy. Given that this is the franchise that introduced earthquake machines in order to rob a casino, I suspect the frame job will be gloriously overcomplicated compared to ‘drop it in his…

I have no problem with him staying in the race.

I thought it was interesting that Rogen apparently realized early on that it needed a female pov. Apparently, he hired 15 female comedians to give feedback on the script and on the women’s stories and college experiences, then hired two of them on as on-set consultants to help with the improv.

It’s typically MUCH cheaper, and you have a lot more options on location.

Fivethirtyeight did a great bit on the Howard Dean scream. It turns out it was almost entirely the fault of rushed audio-mixing - a properly ‘mixed’ version of that, one that accounted for noise in the crowd rather than cutting it all out, actually would have sounded totally normal.

Actually, the person who (most likely) made that call has been ousted from the film division altogether. Read up on Ike Perlmutter, and a whoooooole lot will start making sense about things like Black Widow not being on toys and merch, for instance.

Aaaaand if you do a quick search, you’ll find out that virtually no toys were made of the villain of the film regardless. This was Ike Perlmutter being an old, sexist gasbag... again.

I’m sorry, but you can’t support a set of practices when it benefits you and oppose it when it benefits your opponent if you hope to have any semblance of moral authority.
