If professional sports were fully gender integrated and merit based, I think men harrassing the women on their team would be the last thing to worry about.

I’d love to live in a world where celebrity endorsements have even 1/10th the influence you think they do, because Democrats in that world would win every single election.

Yeah, because I live in the real world I feel pretty secure arguing that Alice Cooper did not have undue influence on the 2004 Presidential election.

Because I’m not simple minded enough to think that an aging rocker, that publicly said that anyone who listened to his political opinion was a moron, had any impact on the outcome of the elections beyond his one single vote, I also don’t think that the appropriate level of accountability for a musician voting the…

The nuance is in understanding that people aren’t just one thing, that each of the 50 million people who voted for Bush aren’t individually responsible for a war that they were lied to about with a devastating legacy that is far better understood today than it was in 2004, and that taking every opportunity you have to…

And you don’t understand that viewing every single thing in the least nuanced way possible doesn’t make you some sort of hero, it makes you simplistic and juvenile.

I’m pretty sure people are angry at you because you intentionally mistook a fluff interview as a missed opportunity to ask a series of gotcha questions that would accomplish absolutely nothing, and then immediately went to your normal playbook and started accusing people of supporting war crimes because they pointed…

Pretending that context and nuance are important must also be a game for purposefully dense, ahistorical fools.

I bet all of those friends and relatives would finally have closure, if only the AVClub decided to grill him on it in this interview.

Suggesting that voting for Bush 20 years ago makes one such an unforgivable monster that they should have to answer for it in any interview they ever do, is an unbelievably sophomoric world view.

I love the first two seasons of Happy Endings dearly. We discovered it during COVID and have already done multiple playthroughs.

Most people aren’t rich, famous, and powerful enough to have a documentary made about themselves, which seemingly exists only to tell people how to think about them. And yet most people can figure out how to brush off a banal, outdated, but ultimately harmless joke without going full attack mode.

If your wife knows her way around a $20 grocery store steak you are already in good hands, which makes paying a lot for one at a nice restaurant less worth it.

Was it a $20 steak at a restaurant or a $20 steak at the grocery store? A $20 grocery store steak is already a pretty good steak so you have diminishing returns after that.

I only watched an episode or two towards the end and thought it was generally decent. But it was incredibly disappointing that they didn’t let Ginny get through even half a season without hooking up with a teammate. *Especially* a pitcher and her catcher, where that would legitimately be a distraction 

“If only there was a sports site that could discuss these issues more in depth.”

Shifting Chris Elliott’s character from primary antagonist to friendly village idiot was the best of many smart decisions the show made as it evolved from season one.

His unlikability is coincidentally a perfect inverse of Nicholas Braun’s likability.

Agree, I think what’s so off putting about this is that’s she rightfully advocates for believing all victims, except in this one specific case. And then she dismisses it by using the exact same playbook that all these powerful men use.

The part about her being accused of rape seems to be worded a bit differently than how those kinds of allegations are usually handled around here. Especially suggesting that the “actually they came on to me!” defense was her “rais[ing] some allegations of her own”.
