I can’t believe they allowed Ross to write a column complaining about how a fat girl came onto him.

They lost me completely when they hired that fundamentalist apologist Ross Douthat. Thomas Friedman was bad enough.

Bennett is an idiot for not reading the piece prior to publication. He has to know who Cotton is and what he was likely to write. So just on stupidity alone it is appropriate that he is out.

I’d like to say “life comes at you fast” but Bennet has basically been running wild over the Times op-ed page for four years. He hid behind the idea of “intellectual diversity,” but whatever intellectual conservatism looks like, it sure wasn’t to be found in the conservatives on the NYT editorial page under Bennet.…

“This will allow women to be oppressed,” claims individual immediately defining women solely by their ability to have children, shoddily argued with a “binary sexes” argument that falls apart when you remember intersex people exist.

That feels like the interaction of all five major characters. It’s definitely a script problem amplified by the massive cuts ordered by the studio.

Having worked in media, I can actually believe he doesn’t read every piece they publish. I’ve known editors who read every single word of their publications before print, and those who focused on the big picture and trusted the senior staff to do their jobs. It varies, and a big daily like the NYT publishes so much…

Its editorial, not news, so he had plenty of time to do his absurdly well-paying job of, you know, editing. NYT is a great newspaper, but their editorial staff and management should be sent back to junior college where apparently their critical thinking skills were stopped dead half-formed.

Wait, so an entire industry based on fake personas is struggling to react with sincerity and humanity?

I know that was snarky and influencers aren’t any worse than large corporations. They tend to lack the PR departments to make them sound less cringe-worthy. I’m personally torn between wanting more companies to step…

JFC Birdman was a terrible movie, but it was about a white guy so I can see why it won.

This is what happens when someone has no fear of accountability of any kind.

I feel like it was pretty clear that Ellen’s question was rhetorical...

The answer to this question heavily implied, if not outright stated that feeling despair makes someone a selfish asshole (“narcissism can be just as alluring”; “I’m sorry that becoming aware of how the world immiserates people is exhausting, but who gives a shit?”; “I know it sounds like I’m dunking on you, and I…

Bizarre to me why they’re shitting on her advocating for voting. Also, did they completely disregard her first tweet?

Remember when she performed “Don’t Rain On My Parade” at the Tony’s positively begging to be cast in a Funny Girl revival? And then when a revival was announced they cast Lauren Ambrose instead? I still get schadenfreude thinking about that and this video of her and Jessica Lange on the AHS red carpet:

I’m not even that plugged in (I have a couple of friends who work in theater) and I don’t think I’ve ever heard a kind word spoken about her. I remember when Glee was on, there were all kinds of blind items about her racism and general nastiness.

Yep, it’s the second day in a row I was like wtf is going on here, what’s up with these articles?! 

Literally- how many random American Idols are brought in for a spell to boost sales for a month on Broadway.

Lea Michele started as a child performer and her acting style has never matured.

Is Reese Witherspoon’s comment bad? Seems like a good starter list to me
