“how brave of this person to sit on the story”

Yeah, I feel like it shouldn’t be controversial to say that not all civil disobedience is effective civil disobedience. You don’t get a fucking medal or plaudit for bitching ineffectively, and you aren’t doing anything of particular note other than convincing yourself that you did something that night.

This! It’s pretty much the most inconsequential thought to have about the whole thing, but whenever her name comes up I wonder why they picked her in the first place. I like Haywire and she wasn’t good (and dubbed) in it, and there wasn’t much other work to speak of. The idea that a spinoff show was even floated is…

Nice to know we’re quoting from the ADL, whose CEO recently railed against Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar speech. We all need to stop talking about the thousands of dead Palestinians and resume talking about Carano’s problematic Tweets!

Which would be fine if the far left and the far right had equal amounts of influence, but only one of them has control over a one of our two major political parties. 

More performative bullshit from both parties.

Apparently she was already working for him when they started dating, so show-biz-has-different-HR-policies-than-most-of-corporate-America discourse might be more germane.

The amount of famous people cameoing in a film is inversely proportional to how good that film is.

No it would be The Morningnews Showroom, what a shit title that would be.

Wouldn’t an unappealing mix of The Morning Show and The Newsroom just be The Morning Show or The Newsroom?

I think there is a lot of new stuff on streaming services where I think, “Maybe I would like that, but I’m not sure” or “I would watch that but I’m really not in the mood for something depressing/long/factual right now.” In those cases, I’d rather stick with the tried and true or something that doesn’t require me to…

Others have already hit on some great points, but I also think an overlooked component in this article is how TV shows have increasingly become disposable - nothing gets very much much time to build a fanbase. If it’s not wildly successful out of the gate, it’s probably going to get cancelled and even deleted from a…

I also think there’s also a simpler answer here: Anything new you turn on is potentially something you won’t like. But time kind of acts as your editor with old TV. At the time you first watched Friends, you also probably watched a lot of other stuff, much of it shitty, just like today. But the stray episodes of Caroli…

One, it’s because we can. We now have access to them, more easily than ever.

The sports thing is a solid analogy, as is the idea that the real problem is picking any small sliver of culture and making it your whole personality.  I was a lit major, so I love me some Shakespeare, but the people who only read Shakespeare are also weird as fuck.  

You know sometimes I feel Zach Snyders brain needs to be preserved and studied for future generations.  Because he truly lives in his own little world of 12 year old delights if he thinks the world saw Wish.com Star Wars more then Barbie, and it needs a six hour cut.  This is a way of thinking that's genuinely not of…

I also question the apples-to-apples of it. People who get dressed, travel to a theater and pay their $11 to specifically see one thing aren’t really comparable to people who’ve already paid their $15 and are just settling for something to have on in the background while they fidget with their phones/iPads.

Y’all, you don’t even know if she’s going to talk a bunch about Mulaney in the book! From the blurb, its partly about her psychiatric care, and when it talks about the men her life, references: “unrequited love in high school; the twenty-eight-year-old she lost her virginity to when she was sixteen; the frustrations…

Life is complicated and I agree it seems so reductive to try to look at this situation in terms of victims and villains, especially when we can’t ever really know what these relationships were like. I do feel weird about people who talk about their babies “saving” them. It’s that thing where if you’re not willing to…

Is John Mulaney like Lenny Bruce for boring people?
