Counterpoint: Chris Pratt. 

I don’t think she’s bad, but it’s always seemed to me that the adoration of Meryl Streep comes from the same place as people placing exactly one woman on the short list for a job just to show they aren’t discriminating. And every company picks the same woman...

I experienced the exact same phenomenon with Sam Worthington. I watched the Clash of the Titans remake, and every time he was on screen I literally had to ask my wife, “Wait, which one is he again?”

Sam Rockwell singlehandedly ruined Iron Man 2 and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for me. He was OK in Galaxy Quest but only because I really did think he was a guy who won a contest to be in the movie and I’d never see him again.

We shouldn’t ban racists for using certain words in combination to express racism. It’s much easier just to ban the words!

I too remember turning 14 and being the smartest white guy anyone had ever seen. Let’s check in on him again when he’s 16 and has thought a little more. 

You did admit it was bad, and that's more than some will do. But you also can't expect a really offensive comment to be instantly erased because you regret it. Especially on the internet. Some people are more forgiving but not everyone is.

Since it makes sense the way the author wrote it, I think it’s reasonable to assume that’s what she meant rather than trying to correct her. 

Honestly it seems like it could work either way. “Grown weary” is a more common phrase than “grown wary.” 

I don’t think he wanted better actors. He wanted people under his control to have sex in front of him in a way that he found pleasing. Some call that “directing,” others have different words for it.

He also can’t spend $40 billion to subsidize swing-state farmers who are losing their livelihoods because of his tariffs, but he’s still doing it.

Today I learned some journalism lingo. Fun!

Do you think “Strawman” means “Any argument I disagree with”? That’s not what it means. 

Bob Mueller sold out. Putting any faith at all in a person who continues to proudly wear the label “Republican” is a fool’s errand. It’s like debating “reasonable Nazis.”

Senate Republicans proved they have no shame over the Merrick Garland affair. It’s impossible to embarrass them into doing the right thing. There’s not a single ethical person among them.

Her “mistake” helped get Barack Obama elected and a filibuster-proof Democratic majority in Congress in 2008.

Which is why exactly one former Republican Congressperson has been willing to call for Trump’s impeachment.

It’s enough to make you wish there’d been a President in between Bill Clinton and Barack Obama!

No fair, that tunnel will work really well as long as nothing unexpected ever, ever, ever happens. Just like the NYC subway.
