Burton doesn't need the Star Trek familiarity... For Jeopardy!, he'd be pulling from his time on Reading Rainbow which would be far more of a plus on this resume.

She shouldn’t have said boo, because she had nothing for which to apologize.

every time I see a moderately high res picture of him it still blows my mind—how can ~40% of the population see everything that I see in that picture—the small pale hands, glowing orange foundation, bad combover, ill-fitting suits, tubby body, etc.—and think that that projects or exemplifies strength, leadership,…

When you’re greedy, everyone suffers.

I’d have some concern that her fans might decide to try it themselves, dress and act as she does, and get injured/dead (many people are allergic but may not know it).

Except it’ll probably be more oriented towards eco-fascism. So controls on procreation, imperialist control of remaining resources, and no doubt deciding those who don’t fit their ideal (typically racial, gender, and sexual minorities) being left to die off.

Ah Reddit. It should be known that giving even a sliver of power of moderation within it seems to turn a lot of people into grandiose douchebags with itchy trigger fingers. Hell, they have are subreddit on the drama of power vacuums and other soap opera behavior r/subredditdrama since it happens so many times.

Such an interesting comment to me, “I’d still prefer a white Death” with no reflection whatsoever. And it’s got stars. Not surprised that is popular sentiment around here. You may feel like you’re stating a harmless preference, but our preferences are inevitably influenced by our society’s long history of white…

You want an even more impressive story about “teen girl shoves bear”....hats off to Paxton Smith, who ditched her pre-approved valedictorian speech on Saturday to instead give a speech decrying the new anti-abortion laws in Texas. I’m actually amazed she wasn’t forcibly hauled off stage by her teachers.

I mean if you watch the full video the biggest threat in the situation are quite clearly the uncontrolled dogs to be quite honest.

I would actually watch this, I will not watch the reboot despite enjoying the show during it’s original run but I will skim through the AV Club review which will probably give it a D or a C if they’re feeling particularly kind or nostalgic.

For all of it’s flaws, Friends had the right idea here. The show was about…

Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.

We have created an asperational american mythology that we all could be rich someday. And we have done so for a very long time well over 100 years. We are raised believing the mertiocracy means the best people are the rich ones otherwise they would not be rich. I disagree but that is the poison of the lie of meritocrac…

It’s not *quite* accusing someone of Nazi sympathies because they once owned a VW Beetle made in the ‘70s, but it’s only a step or two removed from it.

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

Look, if we start doing “Famous person took part in institution that turned out to be hella racist” takes we’re going to be here forever because, spoiler alert, most white institutions in America are hella racist.

Am I missing something? I see no connection other than the origins of the festival or party or whatever that would tie her to KKK leanings. If dumbass Black people wanted to join that bullshit, that’s of course their choice but I don’t see where she was personally connected to the KKK or even racism. I also think it’s…

It’s right wingers losing their damn minds. Being a conservative in 2021 means you are proud to be a jerk, proud to be a liar and you are always the victim in any altercation because freedumb.

Y’all, I hate to bring it to your attention, but from my limited experiences out in the Real World these past few months, this sort of behavior isn’t limited to just airplanes.

She was a groundling and dated and stayed good friends with Conan, and she’s made cool, chancey shit since the end of the show. Hard to judge celebs in interviews, but she so clearly has her shit together more than 99% of people at her level of success and fame. She’s so far and away the best Friend.
