If you’re going to be play someone and you don’t read up on them and the groups they’re associated with you're an idiot.

Yeah, TBH I think that can be easily explained as “actor wouldn’t mind being paid generously to play an action-hero spy” without needing to conspiracy theorise.

The reverso of this...

To be honest, I doubt if she considered it any deeper than “I get to play a badass gunslinger-private eye-“feminist”y trailblazer.” I don’t claim to know what her or her husband’s politics are behind closed doors, but I doubt they played a massive part here; in fact, I’m skeptical that if you put a gun to her head and…

this just in: we do not in fact have to rehabilitate the image of the Pinkertons by girlbossing them

“(Fallon is called out by name as knowing she was a junior in high school while she was drinking in his company.)“

WHAT.  How on Earth does that work?  God I'm getting flashbacks to that really dumb moment when Michael Moore tried to say no woman was involved in global warming or the holocaust or shot up a school.  Only to have multiple feminists gladly point out examples in all the categories. 

I remember when some TERFs on Twitter were trying to frame a Nazi and torturer who was assassinated by the French Resistance as a girlboss…

You either die a villain, or you live long enough to feel yourself become the hero.

Dump them both.

Shoulda been LaVar Burton.

the only thing the NYT did in the 2020 primaries that wasn’t pathetic was Applebaum putting the bread-fixing psycho on the spot

Uh, Bialik is troubling in her own right.  I say toss them both out and just hire Aaron Rodgers.  I’m sure you can find a way to make it work around his NFL schedule if you wanted to.

So the most mayo of choices, who also happens to be in charge of helping make big decisions and also has a sizeable history of a being terrible and opening the show up to lawsuits and someone who despite having a PhD in neuroscience, pushes pseudoscience, skirts with being anti-vax/vaccine hesitant, and thinks that…

What, she just wants you to Do yoUR oWN resEaRcH!

Goddamn it.  The sexist producer and the quasi anti vaxer. Jesus Christ.
