This has always been the Kobayashi Maru. There’s literally no way forward here that ends in victory. Just a whole bunch of different ways to fail. In that respect, this is probably the correct tone to attempt to strike. The deck is stacked against them in every way possible. Take a more aggressive or righteous tone,…

I got as far as “Emma Watson turning 30" and got too distracted by my joints creaking to read any farther.

This is obviously made up. Nearly every version of that woman (and her male counterpart) that I’ve worked with does not smile. Her spirit is broken, just like her body. Younger employees should look at her and see their futures.

After Finney in MotOE, Peter Ustinov was Poirot for the rest of the all-star series (in Death on the Nile, Evil Under the Sun, Appointment with Death, etc) and still holds a special place amongst the cinematic Poirots; Ustinov had that unique balance of intellect and wit that Branaugh in particular lacks. My personal…

I will scream (and avoid the movie) if Branagh and his facial hair return as Poirot.

ALSO Branagh should have really resisted the urge to cast himself as Poirot—a blue eyed Englishman as the little Belgian detective??? Mais non! I also hated his decision to characterize Poirot as OCD. It’s been done, it was called Monk, this is not a fresh take.

But.... he is. You can be white AND Jewish. And he’s an atheist. Why not mention that fact?

I mean, technically the job put him in a casket. Way worse than the photo on the right.

Tell that to every other right wing blowhard who has been deplatformed. They always say, “I’ll start my own insert social media platform here” and they never do. There’s a reason why nobody gives a shit about Milo Yalsdkjfapsdklfjas anymore. Because removing the platform had a significant effect on his reach.

It absolutely is. There is no substitute for the President’s direct, personal, and immediate outreach to his followers of literally anything on his mind at that second. Yes, he can call press conferences, yes, he can put out press releases, but there’s nothing that has the same ability to disseminate his point of view…

Miller did not get into his position of power through the Good old Boy Network. That’s how someone like Bush Jr. got into power. Miller got into power because he’s an opportunist that spent his adult life trying to ride someone’s coattails up the ladder of power. He had the good fortune to jump on the Trump bandwagon…

The depth of ingratitude to swing district Democrats will never cease to amaze me. Progressives in blue districts will never take a difficult vote or run another difficult race (against a Republican) in their lives. If they keep their face out there and avoid career-ending scandal they have job security until their…

Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ, Splinter, just give the Pelosi/Congressional Democrat hate a rest for, like, two days. That’s all we ask. Just give us a couple of days off. It’s exhausting, and it makes you look like petulant, contrarian-on-purpose dickheads. Please. Begging.

Don’t hold your breath. If Pelosi literally tossed Trump down a reactor shaft Star Wars style, Splinter would be right there bitching that she lifted with her back instead of her legs.

Trump has absolutely committed impeachable offenses. However, everything he’s done are Rich People Crimes, which are generally too complex for your average middle-American to wrap their head around.

My entire book club hated this book. It was one of the most pretentious things I’ve ever read. The trailer for this looked so incredible boring I’m not surprised by the reviews at all. I thought maybe the movie would help me understand why this book was such a big deal, but I guess not.

Yang seems like a decent enough dude for a venture capitalist (so a good guy on a personal level and a bad one on a societal level) but two things about him are big disqualifiers.

They boil down to “whoever has the loudest supporters will win.”

Well Bernie basically only won caucuses in 2016, so therefore caucuses should be the only way to determine the candidate... Selecting candidates based on the popular vote should only be implemented if that candidate is Bernie...

Note: I understand that an emotional support dog is not a service dog. I misspoke. However, if this woman’s allergies are so serious, the purpose of the dog on the flight would not matter. According to her, she would still not be able to be there.
