Being omnipotent and omnipresent is a great way to keep up with Peak TV.

Dumber, certainly.

Interesting that the "diversity of thought and opinion" rubric they claim to operate under doesn't appear to include a single actual leftist.

Sorry, did I misread your post? I thought you were suggesting there was a double standard at play in people being up in arms about this but in favour of Elba playing Bond.

Haha, I get you.

If you care that much about La La Land, but this gets a big shrug, are you not being just as much of a hypocrite as the critics?

And then really steadfastly avoided actually engaging with the idea at all.

Plenty of people thought the racial politics of La La Land were a bit dicey too, but it's hardly as egregious as this, if only because what's-his-name in that movie wasn't a real person.

I've long maintained that Trump won't just let himself go bald because he doesn't want to invite the comparison to Lex Luthor and come up way, way short.

You heard it here first, everyone - James Bond was a real person, and Idris Elba's casting, long denied by literally everyone involved with EON Productions and Elba himself, has been confirmed by a man called Roderick who definitely understands structural power imbalances.

He was a proper lefty! If that version of Superman was around today he'd be a regular guest on Chapo Trap House.

I would bet a fair bit on "not a single one of the bastards."

This is probably more accurate, yeah.

Oh, it's no surprise.

I literally flipped a coin to decide whether to invoke him or Mnuchin.

This just seems deliberately insulting. Is Mnuchin an EP on this or some shit?

Perhaps I should start mailing myself my own crushingly depressing predictions about political figures for just this sort of occasion.

No skin off my nose, and no hard feelings I hope. I didn't mean to piss you off, and I get why you'd be suspicious, but I don't know how I can concretely demonstrate the existence of a thought I had in 2010.

Believe me or not, dude, I don't really give a fuck, but I certainly didn't mean to start some shit with you, and I'm not going to jump through hoops to 'prove' a casual comment I made on a message board. Have a good one.

Oh man, now I feel bad for kvetching about how long season three was taking. Really hope she stays in the all-clear, and good on her for deciding to tackle this in her work.
