i think the accidental pool drowning is what happened- and they acted so terribly afterwards because they are terrible people in a weird, fucked up family

Go home, Hillary. You’re drunk.

Stewart Lee has a great bit about this. It’s about the Conservatives and Labour in the UK but I think it applies equally well here:

Putting all the other horrid stuff aside, if someone I knew struck their partner while they were HOLDING THEIR CHILD, they would be dead to me forever. Add in all the other stuff and the shunning should go into the afterlife.

I would love to see the jackson family feud where the siblings go after michaels childrens inheritence so hard they kidnap the grandmother for a week! And the kids stay united and strong and maintain their status as the heirs to the throne. Great stuff. Plus twitter.

Depends how closely he follows the real story. If he tries to be at all accurate that will restrain him from doing anything really weird, as apparently he was for his OJ miniseries.

“Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress?” - Charles, 1994

I think Beatty realized it was wrong, was trying to show it to Dunnaway to confirm, and instead she thought he was giving her the opportunity to read it. She didn’t realize what was going on because of course at the Oscars you expect them to not give you the wrong card.

Yeah, I thought the Lala Land producers handled it with exceptional grace. They took it on themselves to announce that they hadn’t won, quickly got out the message that Moonlight had won, and tried to reassure the Moonlight team that this was all real and they should get up on stage. Like that’s a lot of crazy in…

Yeah, I agree. It seemed like he was trying to make it right as quickly and clearly as possible.

“Moonlight: Best Picture,” spat Horowitz.

What she did / is doing is shitty, but so is homelessness. I hope she finds some way to save her apartment and get some kind of job, for her kids’ sake at least. No one should be homeless.

Can’t wait for centrists to keep on pushing away the most engaged slice of their potential electorate and then react with insulted astonishment when somehow they continue hemorrhaging seats across the country.

That article is god damn gold.

The New Yorker this week has a great look at former Academy voters who were ousted due to lack of involvement in the industry, and the supposed ageism behind it. One of the quotes is (I’m paraphrasing) “if there isn’t a role for a Chinaman, there isn’t a role for a Chinaman,” I shit you not

Awfully generous of you to assume he gives a shit about his kids.

You are totally right and raise a good point - by today’s definition, Sanger probably wouldn’t even be regarded as pro-choice, since she clearly believed in pushing certain groups towards abortion. That’s not supporting choice. Another totally valid argument.

That is genuinely the whitest thing I’ve heard in a long time, and I mean that.

The difference is that Ghandi’s offensive views were not intrinsically tied up in his activism for independence. Sanger’s WERE. Sanger’s pro-choice views were partially (if not nearly all) informed by her view that there were “certain classes” of humans (the poor, the disabled, the non-white) who were simply “less…

The problem is that something like La La Land is rendered pointless when I can just go to Pornhub and watch a 5 minute video of a guy jerking himself off.
