Actually, yes, let’s. There’s a certain point where “just doing my job/following orders” isn’t an excuse.

My family was in Germany during the war and their strategy of keeping their heads down and hoping it would pass didn’t work. By 1945 most of the homes and the family business had been bombed into the ground and most of the men had died or disappeared in Russia.
Fair point to make, but the content of the message, while ironic, isn’t really the problem I might have with this, but rather the growing centralization of media voices by conservative megacorps. This is a spectacular example of editorial control by a company that at best is crassly commercial and restricts local…
Just because this singular statement that Sinclair forced its broadcasters to record and air “does not sink to the level of propaganda” does not mean that it is not, by and large, a statement to let slide the constant propaganda that Sinclair forces on networks it owns.
It normalizes a stance against other news…
Seriously, this is nothing more than propaganda and it’s pretty disgusting. To call for objectively while inserting a subjective editorialization (‘we’re concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country’) is as ridiculous as trying to control what people think (that’s…
I sleep well at night knowing I won’t have to explain to my grandkids someday that I was one of the good Germans.
I have family who worked local news for Sinclair, and I despise that company. I wouldn’t piss on it if it was on fire.
Look, I hear and understand all the talk about pollination. BUT I personally don’t plan to outlive the food supply/ecosystem, so in the short time I remain on earth, I don’t want to shit in a hole. I’m gonna enjoy my plumbing and my unlimited time off as long as it’s not too terrifying and then make my exit via…
What is the point of unlimited time-off if you can’t have Dramatic Hate Fucking?
I’m here to advocate for Mad Max Fashion. Sex is fine and all, but it’s (probably) not going to fill the majority of your day. When you aren’t having dramatic sex - and sometimes when you are, these styles are pretty permissive - what are you going to wear?
Unlimited time off and no more student loan debt is my Sophie’s choice right now.
Vote vote vote vote vote. Vote in every local election. Vote every time they crack the door to the polling place. Fucking VOTE.
I loved re-watching this movie on Netflix. It was such a goddamn delight. Pfeiffer and Keaton have so much chemistry. The scene at the masquerade ball is incredible. I like how shocked and saddened they both get when they realize they’re both enemies. That scene holds up great.
I would really respect a celebrity if just for once one said, “Woody Allen is a shitbag of a human but I wanted to work with him because of my career. I used him. He sucks, but I have an Oscar.”
Cate was born in 1969, she was 20 when the allegations against Woody dropped. There is no way anyone in entertainment would not have known, because of the he said/she said media shitstorm that surrounded the whole affair. Cate wanted a prestige role to win the big Oscar. Simple. I would have had more respect if she’d…
Fun fact! Cate Blanchett also named her son after Roman Polanski. Her son was not born in 1976.
She had years to prepare an answer and that’s the best she can come up with? Hard pass.
Cate Blanchett didn’t really say anything at all aside from courageously saying people who are guilty should be prosecuted in the criminal court.
I’m sorry Cate, but that’s about as bold-faced a lie as Meryl Streep saying she wasn’t aware of the Harvey Weinstein “allegations”.
Wow, fuck Cate Blanchett entirely. I hate that I’m not even surprised at the hypocrisy of White Feminists™ anymore.
