I’m suspicious that he was the real Black Hood - the obsession with Betty would fit way better than it did Svenson - but IDK, he might be too young and thin to be the man in the mask. He could’ve been in on it with Svenson, or the puppet master, though.

Excerpt from a conversation with my friend yesterday.
“And [the memo] is trying to make out that Trump is totally innocent and the FBI is just corrupt.”
“Which to be fair, they are.”
“Well sure, but not for that reason.”
“...Yeah.”

Oh man, the Breitbart comment section is going to be WILD.

I don’t really understand the point of suggesting the Arrowverse crossover, or clips from The Good Place or Guardians Of The Galaxy - not that those are bad, just that they’re already well-known enough that they’ve probably already caught the interest of anyone who’s going to see them. If I were going to gift…

You wouldn’t be missing anything outside a couple of references between episodes, so there’s not much point forcing yourself to watch them in order. I reckon you should just watch the episodes you really want to watch, and then if you want to keep going with the others you can.

San Junipero is awesome, also. I gave up…

Curse you, Black Mirror! I quit you during Season 3, and now you’re drawing me back in by casting one of the leads from my much beloved Puberty Blues!

Still, it’s nice that she’s in something people are actually going to see, especially on the international stage. As great as the (first season of) Puberty Blues was,…

This is also what I’ve stopped being mad about. My opinion about my family hasn’t changed, but one of my parents developed a terminal illness and my anger has been slowly outstripped by pity for them both.

What convinced me it was a big joke was the slowly increasing amount of misspellings that were coincidentally amusing. Like you’d end up with a word that was clearly meant to be something else - see Stan/Satan - and whatever the new word was would just happen to be extra funny, in context.

I felt like Season 2 was sort of uneven - while I was surprised by how well Melanie Scrofano’s pregnancy was handled for a last-minute addition, that story and the Wynonna-less episode did take up a lot of time. And there were other storylines that I felt could’ve used more screentime and development, or else been cut…

I would guess that it’s the same line of thinking as the “It’s like you can’t even interact with women at work anymore without getting accused of sexual harassment!” response to the post-Weinstein shitstorm.

I don’t know why the people who say this seem to think that it’s impossible to talk to their female colleagues…

I think the problem is that although climbing or driving up a mountain might be better for checking whether the horizon is curved, it wouldn’t involve building and launching himself in a rocket. This flat-earth thing is probably just a way to get people to help him fund his hobby.

However, your comment still applies to…

If this dude was a Backstreet Boy, I hope that doesn’t mean we’re going to get legions of fans attacking this woman for daring to besmirch his name, a la Johnny Depp.

Maybe, but if some chronic sexual harassers’ careers are ruined ‘cause Trump is president, I’m fine with that. I think part of making the industry a safer and less intimidating environment is stopping this kind of sexual harassment, too.

I mean, do we really want the next Harvey Weinstein knowing he can get away with…

Having heard that he’s sexist, and watched Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip and The Newsroom and seen how the women on those shows were treated - Studio 60 had A LOT of extremely obvious stalking and workplace sexual harassment portrayed as cute and romantic - I’m kind of wondering if anything will come out on Aaron…

The chronic sexual harasser I know was someone with no power. They were a loser - uncharismatic, few friends, lived with their mother, had never had a proper job. The short-term career plan when I left was to permanently get on disability for mental health problems so they wouldn’t have to seek work - specifically,…

My mum used to watch it, and got annoyed with my brother and I for joking about how the solution to every human’s problems was for the angels to tell them how much God loves them, after 40 minutes of pussyfooting about.

However, I did love one thing about it - Monica’s voice. This was presumably not the kind of…

Man, I think about that line all the time too.

Maybe having a deep down conscience or whatever can help give someone a capacity to change, but they don’t get to claim credit or draw absolution from that deep down conscience when they’re not actually using it.

Sure, that’s what a decent human being would’ve done, but I guess Louis CK wanted it to go beyond just roleplay. A consenting woman who was merely pretending to be shocked and horrified might not have felt as good to him as the real deal.

Not to me. It just reminded me of my own sexual predator, who gave a vague, half-assed apology, and decided to treat me platonically. But when I talked to a mutual friend about what had happened, and they asked the sexual predator about it, the asshole made out that I was the bad guy - in part for not accepting the…

Yeesh. I’m glad the rumours have finally gotten to something a little more concrete, if nothing else. Selfishly, I’m also glad that this came out a few years after I’d already soured on him, thanks to an extremely poorly handled sexual assault scene on his show.

Perhaps this just speaks to my lack of understanding of…
