it’s not clear to us whether Herzog is offering a qualitative assessment of Gerwig’s movie, or genuinely speaking to its neon pink depiction of Barbieland, a world in which ostensibly happy “people” play out basic routines with no capacity for understanding any of the ennui or despair clawing at the edges of…

Headline:

I feel it was an attempt at a modern Cruel Intentions, silly and pervy and a hit with the 20 somethings who it felt targeted for. Probably won’t have the same staying power as the former, but the buzz was big.

I wish Scott had said:

“Meh. Barry’s penis is OK. But have you seen Sydney Sweeney’s tits? WHOA”

Yeah seriously and what does Jenna think about Stranger Things or the Harry Potter series, where kids are also in crazy dangerous situations?

After so much freaking out from the fans about every single word the production crew said about the show, I tried a crazy idea called actually watching the show for myself before deciding what I think about it, and what do you know, I liked it a lot. I especially have to shout out Ken Leung, who brings a metric ton…

Yep. Legitimately any other POTUS in this era would *also* be doing some manner of that, if they had been faced with the October 7 debacle.

At the risk of jumping in early on another thread doomed to get 300 comments from dozens of people arguing at each other, Jon Stewart was never —and certainly is not in this year 2024— a kingmaker. I watched TDS religiously through the first decade or so of his tenure, and Bush was still elected and subsequently reelec…

I said it before and its worth noting again. The fucker who wrote the report was a Trump appointee who is making comments of his personal beliefs in an official report. Including overt speculation as to what a Biden trial would look like, alongside inflammatory remarks about not remembering when his favorite son died…

Between a democratic corpse and a walking talking fascist, I’ll always take the former.

What actions has Biden taken that justify invoking the 25th Amendment? 

I agree. I think what gets me is having someone say “hey, I plan to vote for Candidate X, even though I feel really conflicted by these OBVIOUS ISSUES Candidate X brings to the table” and Candidate X’s supporters melting down over... a fellow supporter having a genuine conversation and pointing out said OBVIOUS…

It’s hilarious and sweet, and good family watching too; my 11yo and I both love it.

I’m mainly a fan of the (somehow) refreshing tack of saying “Here, this is exactly how the GOP is deliberately trying to fuck up policy you like, and here’s specifically who.”

I’m honestly kind of impressed that The Senator from MBNA didn’t totally sell us out to big corps and has actually done some stuff for regular people.

For sure. It’s also I think a totally fair point for the media and Stewart to make, but at the same time, these are the candidates. It’s not like constantly saying “America deserves better” manifests itself into America getting better candidates this cycle. So, make the point Stewart, like seemingly everyone needs to…

No one expects Stewart to be a propagandist for Biden the way Tucker is for Trump. It’s just supremely unreal to see the media at large, including Stewart, treat Biden’s age and occaisonal gaffes as if they’re in any way comparable to Trump’s insane, dictatatorial, self-absorbed ramblings.

i didn’t have a problem with him mentioning biden’s age but i found that for his first commentary back, that pointing out that both candidates are old and america deserves better candidates wasn’t some homerun that he, and others, thought...as this has been discussed ad nauseam, and will continue to be, until the…

It’s such a funny show. I recommend you start from first episode and you’ll be hooked after the first few. It’s seriously funny.

I think it was an unknown ghost or one of the Brits that got sucked off and Flower is lost on the property, again.
