Well if it means being the majority in the Senate then its very important. The Senate Majority Leader gets to determine what goes to the floor for a vote and what doesn’t. With a Democrat in that seat, Merrick Garland would have been confirmed, we likely would have had a Dream Act (there’s bipartisan support for it in…

I interpreted it as “The Good Place” writers inverting Outback Steakhouse so that this time it’s the Australians making a trite, shallow, exaggerated and distorted caricature of America into a middle-tier table service restaurant chain instead of the other way around.

It’s more about how his indecisiveness impacts others. His best friend says that it has negatively affected everyone Chidi loves. And Chidi was blind to that, the only thing he ever thought he did wrong was use almond milk.

Yup. I’ve seen people here and at AV Club aghast that The Ranch (another Netflix show riddled with controversy) got so many seasons but it is the same kind of deal; Netflix’s data is telling them these shows are popular enough among their subscribers to be worth renewing.

I’m happy she’s doing this but I find it so skeevy that 45 is literally just letting out a single prisoner for every time Kim K hangs out with him. It’s like he knows that attractive women never want to be around him without an incentive

Jack wasn’t supposed to die in the script. In the script, after Rose is rescued, Jack’s seemingly lifeless body suddenly turns to the camera, winks, then flies off to his home planet of Zhzgar.

Killing Jack ruined any chance of a sequel.

I worked for J Crew (corporate) in the early 90s. Their clothes USED to be very high quality. I still own sweaters and jackets from my time with them, and they look like new. High quality fabrics well sewn. That’s what people paid their high prices for back in the day.

I have to give Jenna Lyons some credit for J. Crew going into the toilet as well. 

I’m kind of sick of all these people with their fake apologies. Especially in cases like this where their comments are very recent, fairly numerous, and span a decent amount of time. Like, your apology isn’t fooling anyone and I would almost prefer them to just say, “yup, I said all of that and that’s what I think and…

And you know those iced tea drinkers, notorious abortion havers those people.

I...just...what??? What on earth is the thought process here? “Abortion is wrong! I’ll put these pictures into a box of diapers because...wait, living human babies wear diapers so they weren’t aborted...uh...oh fuck it.”

Oh, that reminds me of a joke I heard the other day:

The way people enjoy any given film or show will vary. Some people will prioritize acting, some prioritize costume design, some prioritize story structure, etc. None of them are wrong, they just have different tastes.

I agree. The outrage seems a touch performative.

Funny you say that. She said when she was in prison she met other women who had stolen identities, and she indirectly lamented not doing that too because it was so easy.

“But - but - why won’t you let me participate in your event raising awareness about problems I’ve spent my entire life enabling? Why are you being so intolerant?”

We are truly through the looking glass. These women are complaining to the people they’ve built their lives on oppressing that those they’ve oppressed haven’t welcomed them in a warm enough embrace. With a straight fucking face.

Demi-Leigh-- you know, half of a full Leigh.

Every time Tebow has an impure thought, he adds a punctuation mark as penance.
