That is an interview question that is illegal to ask. But what are you gonna do? You feel like you won’t have a chance if you point this out, but you feel the same way if you just answer.

They really do. And I like that the show will focus on heroic people who happen to be minorities, and they will do color-blind casting for some people. Like Maya Rudolph (of African and European heritage) played a Colombian drug lord, or Jason Momoa (of Hawaiian/Pacific descent) playing Jim Thorpe, a Native American.…

Derek Waters mentioned last year on NPR that after they shot the Claudette Colvin he actually went out and got a book about her because he had never heard about this girl or her contribution to the Civil Rights movement. He thought it was fascinating how someone like her was stripped of her voice in the greater…

I vote that we put Octavia Spencer on the $10 bill.

Well, if we ignore the fact that I’m broken and refuse to inflict myself on others

He’s scorchingly hot in an average guy’s body and face, if that makes any sense. And those eyes!

I watched the video and this is how it came across to me too. Just a like a dad joke.

I can’t watch the video but the part about attractiveness seems a bit like a dad joke gone wrong. Like “of course she’d have to be pretty! After all, the only reason I’ve done so well is because of how hot I am!” *dad chuckle*

It’s one thing to rant about somebody who has done something to piss you off— I’m guilty of it, even though I usually feel pretty bad afterward. But this kind of shit is just unmitigated cruelty to practical strangers. They’re wholesale promoting mean-spirited and manipulative behavior toward people who’s only crime…

The apology isn’t even any good.

UMMM, men’s preference for younger women could be the result of an evolutionary mating strategy AND THEY STILL CAN BE JACKASSES for it. The two things are not mutually exclusive.

No, men have sell-by dates but they’re deluded to think they don’t.

they’re out there if you do some googling and webarchaeology. i’m not particularly good at it, but i found the fat project without much effort (and saved the hell out of it, i can’t lose that again!). i loved circa 2001 rudder.

It doesn’t do much? If you’re a young women you’re constantly being made uncomfortable by old men who think they’re entitled to you.

Sure wish I could read Christian Rudder’s Stinky Meat and Stinky Feet columns on Jezebel. Such a great moment in internet history (for me, at least, in like 1999)

Never Let Me Go. It’s a mildly sci-fi flick about a time in the future where nearly all illness is eliminated. Clones of healthy folks are made, and their organs are harvested once they reach adulthood. The ending... god damn the ending. I dunno if it hits as hard without the context of the rest of the film, so watch…

Oh, nor can I! But the style of modulation is not an innate thing. I think of singing styles are classifiable. The way opera doesn’t sound like soul which doesn’t sound like Hindi film music.... etc. (I’m picking widely disparate styles, I’ll grant you)

I’m talking about a style of singing.

I know it’s beside the point but I do kind of like that these people’s understanding of what bombs look like seems to begin and end with Roadrunner cartoons.

I find the unrelenting passage of time to be alarming as well so I’m going to have to side with the police on this one.
