America really needs a blast of seaman these days, no doubt.

FORD REALIZES THING WE’VE ALL BEEN SCREAMING AT THEM FOR YEARS

Say what one will about Tomato; at least he was creative.

I like that this particular troll was saying this about a (still-hypothetical) movie in which Bond will be played, finally in keeping with tradition, by a white guy.

I, too, hope with every fiber of my being that he doesn’t win.  But to act like it’s not a possibility, or a coin flip, is way too optimistic.

Which isn’t even getting to the biggest part yet: the actual star of the show she appeared in has become a superstar over the course of it, famously has a trans sister whom he truly loves and supports in every way, and presumably told their bosses: “shut her up or get her the fuck off my show.”  And, not being idiots,…
