The words ‘portraying’ and “peddling” are not synonymous, but your argument fundamentally rests on the notion that they are.  I agree that the show has become bad though.

Meh.  It’s silly to pretend that people who have differing tastes just don’t “get it”.  In closing, the final season of GoT was contemptuous garbage.

Why did Ant-Man experience 5 years in the quantum realm as only five hours, while Janet van Dyne aged considerably while here?

You’re totally right, that was super nitpicky :)

I assume you’re talking about the Olympics dunk and I agree completely.

As a Raps fan I was hoping that they’d find a way to bring him back towards the end of last season so that he could get a ring with the team that drafted him.  It would have been a nice end to the acrimony that had existed for both the team and Vince to get their first title together.

Harris is the type of black woman who would set a black neighbourhood on actual fire if she thought that it would ingratiate her to the white power structure.

- I don’t like her record as a prosecutor, she’s essentially the distilled essence of many of the criminal justice issues that the Left loathes.

I’ll be supporting the Democrat when the election rolls around, and no candidate is perfect, but I tend to agree with your peers...Warren & Sanders are clearly the best, the rest are either garbage (Biden, Harris) and/or don’t stand a chance (everyone else outside of Warren/Sanders/Biden/Harris). Castro is the best of…

You’re definitely not wrong, but considering America’s long history of supporting brutal dictators, overthrowing democratically elected governments, and fomenting myriad forms of violence and unrest, it’s more than a bit disingenuous to single Gabbard out for it.  

Malala Yousafzai isn’t a white girl, but I bet she would be able to benefit from a similar level of resources to aid in her activism.

They’re not naive, they’re complicit shitheels

I wonder if Meghan McCain has any awareness of the fact that her dad’s decision to have Sarah Palin as a running mate was one of the key moments that made Trump possible.

Nah, GoT ended the way it did (aggressively terribly to the point that it was contemptuous towards the audience) because D&D were more concerned with simply ending the show than writing good TV.

In a lot of places - the UK for example - cunt is a common, relatively benign insult, deployed against both men and women. Much like how here in North America we might say “stop being an ass”, but with cunt instead of ass.

Well said!

Splinter: it’s vitally important for those who benefit from privilege to both acknowledge it and make a real effort to be part of the solution

I could waste my time trying to explain what’s so wrong about this, but I know from my experience here on Jezebel that disingenuously policing the gayness of others is your entire odious schtick and that there’s no point in anyone trying to convince you otherwise.

Stranger Things 3 is just plain bad.
