I love it. Anyone taking this shit too seriously needs to be reminded that its a comic book show about a witch and robot fighting another witch and robot.

This is incredible & made me snort laugh at work, thank you.
I can understand why they chose Nicks (she’s totally a bigger sales draw for a tour), and undeniably Buckingham is probably a prick and hard to work with. But at the same time it seems he is more invested in the band than Nicks yet they choose Stevie every time there is a problem. Tango in the Night and Say You Will…
Fleetwood Mac was an English blues band that started in the late 60's. John McVie was bassist, and Mick Fleetwood was the drummer.
Let me start by saying, I love Buffy. It’s a fun, witty, well crafted show that it on my constant rerun comfort watch list.
I’ll preface this by saying that I am in no way defending Whedon, that, despite being a fan of his work for many years, I realize now is a piece of shit.
Yep, this. In fact, I’ve always argued that Joss’s work got markedly worse, both in its craftsmanship and its representation of women, when people stopped treating him as a skilled artisan who wrote well-constructed stories about the sort of women who interested him and started lauding him as this Genius Artiste…
The weirdest part to me was always that, for all that Willow and Tara were a groundbreaking gay couple, he’s always seemed to think that it’s only female homosexuality that deserves to be treated with respect, as gay male characters only ever exist for cheap jokes (just witness the entire character of Andrew Mills).
I honestly wonder if Whedon actually truly believed the things he was saying early in his career?
For many, he was an example of what more equitable storytelling might look like, a model for how to create compelling women protagonists who were also very, very fun to watch.
I am talking about all 6 minutes. Kennedy tried to lash out and make it seem like Garland wasn’t taking it seriously, and Garland very calmly handled it to the point that Kennedy started defending Garland’s character (“You are a nice guy”).
he did the same thing to Hawley when he tried his own “gotcha” bullshit over “equality vs. equity.” It reminded me of when Marisa Tomei proved to the dipshit attorney in My Cousin Vinny that she understood cars better than him.
His handling of the Oklahoma Bombing basically made is his career. As a twenty-something back then, I didn’t appreciate the gravity of the situation until I saw a TV segment where an elderly white man was carrying a small brown baby out in his arms, both of them covered in blood and debris. That man was holding on to…
Thank you for what may be the best researched piece I’ve ever read on AV Club.
Nah.
4. If SPRINGSTEEN had indeed had two shots of tequila in the last 20 minutes, and/or more of the bottle as implied by the report, his BAC would have been rising between the inadmissible PBT refusal and the eventual admissible test - making the claimed SFSTs observations reek even more of bullshit.
I’d much rather have a neighbor who’s a lawyer than be on death row, which is where I’d have to be to have a neighbor on death row.
I was a prosecutor before I became a defense attorney. The police were liars then, too.
Former defense attorney here too. The field sobriety tests are just as easy for the officers to screw up as well. I’ve had so-called FST Trainers on the stand admitting they screwed up the FSTs when we reviewed the video footage and the instructions in the NHTSA manual. There is a giant disclaimer at the end of each…
As a criminal defense attorney, allow me to state first and foremost that the vast majority of police officers are trained pathological liars and that if one of them tells you so much as the time or the color of the sky you should first mistrust and then verify.
