Another difference is that, if we're talking about the doxxing of people who were at the rally, the matter of guilt is kind of solved. They were there, protesting the right of other people to exist. In comparison, plenty of people who had little to no communist sympathies were targeted by the blacklist.

"Ooga booga big, ooga booga strong, I'm gonna sing my ooga booga song…"

You can't handle the mansplaining!

It wouldn't surprise me if they thought that, since most of the effects happened in the early days of Obama, it's all his fault. Just like how since a lot of good stuff from Obama is happening now, it's Trump taking the credit.

There's also the Cali-run WOT over on Disqus: disqus.com/home/channel/pop…

Shh! Don't mention "Macbeth," it's bad luck! You never know, it might result in somebody replacing the commenting system around here.

The only positive thing that could come out of Arpaio getting a pardon is that my brother who seems to love Trump would probably sour on him. Nobody in my family likes Arpaio, including my late father, who never hesitated to compare him to a Nazi.

Any of the former Gawker, now Gizmodo sites will do.

In the coming weeks, Disqus will disappear from the AV Club, being replaced by Gizmodo's commenting system Kinja. It's widely regarded to be inferior to Disqus, with non-nested comments and a lack of privacy controls.

I don't think they're telling us when it's happening exactly. It's the old story of the prisoner who doesn't know when his execution date will be.

Thank you.

I must admit that if that line came from the movie, I missed it, so I was a bit mystified by it.

Not one meant for little kids.

Reminds me of a story I've thought of but am too lazy to write, where the racists finally take over the world and rid the world of all the "inferior" races, only to starve to death because they think they're too good to farm crops and do menial tasks.

Alas, the movies they're doing together seem to be shot digitally. (Which is mind-boggling, since I think he still writes them on a typewriter.)

Compared to Shane Black's other work that I've seen, "The Nice Guys'" plot is lucid and well-thought-out.

Ah, got it.

There's also the Cali-run WOT, which I'm thinking of posting my "last week in entertainment" stuff on: disqus.com/home/channel/pop…

I was reading an NPR piece on Miller today that was talking to his old school comrades ("friends" might be a bridge too far). One of them talked about how Miller stopped being friends with him, and he admitted that it was in part because the guy was Latino. People were talking about how he was doing "showmanship" even…
