Weird. I thought the gag was obvious - that these are the most horrible people who ever lived, and that under no circumstances should they be emulated! That’s what makes it funny (to me, anyway): that no matter how awful they are, they will always do something to lower the bar.

No worries, they’re retconning the Dan-is-dead thing. Goodman is back, baby!

It is not sexual assault. Give me a freaking break.

For his sake, I’m sorry he did not get a chance to speak about his own show. HOWEVER - that he stepped back for Miss Waithe to take her place as the rightful winner of that award, for that episode, was the mark of a generous spirit who knows what it means to be pushed aside, and wouldn’t let it happen. It was lovely.

Does “redemption” mean you get whatever you want, just because you want it?

Wait a second. This is a old shaggy-dog story, I heard a version of it 15 years ago on an Irish TV show called Podge & Rodge, and even then when I was watching it I remembered hearing the story probably about five years before that.

When I read that Jack Reynor was up for the role and didn’t get it, I wanted to scream and cry and throw things. He’s so talented, and with a twinkle in his eye and a picture-perfect cockeyed grin; I can’t believe he was passed over so they could cast a 100% charisma-free person into a role that is nothing but…

Causality runs the other way. Women have breasts as a secondary sex characteristic; men are attracted to them because of that.

Oh NO! I had no idea. How does that asshole keep getting work? Not only is he horrible at his job, he’s also a complete dick about it, too.

I’d hold off on that thanks, its the head writer from Sleepy Hollow seasons 3 and 4, which hemorrhaged viewers due to the unbelievably childish and sexist writing.

Would you have believed that a German man kept his own daughter imprisoned in the basement of his house so that he could repeatedly rape and impregnate her, for over a decade?

Triumphalism is tawdry, and leaves a sour taste in people’s mouths, even ones who are sympathetic to your cause.

GOOD. The absolute last thing I want invading Star Wars is that quippy bullshit. I hate that nonsense.

Christ Almighty I better not see Joss f-ing Whedon anywhere near STAR WARS.

Oh well. She moved into a city neighborhood filled with children. That means ice-cream trucks in the summer. She can stick cotton balls in her ears in the meantime.

Depends on how old you are. The older you get, the less you’re able to hear high frequencies. She should be find in about 10 years or so. Til then, she can enjoy some delicious ice cream on a hot summer night.

Or you’d stop hearing it. I’ve lived next to train tracks and under flight paths from an airport across the harbor from my apartment. The noise drove me insane for a month and then like a miracle I stopped hearing it entirely. Like literally would not hear a train or a plane unless I had a visitor who would suddenly…

I literally had to hold my laptop up to my ear to hear the ice-cream truck jingles, that’s how quiet it is. I love the ice-cream truck jingles, it sounds like warm summer nights and delicious treats. But anyway:
