It’s patently obvious he has issues with mental health. We know. I swear, though, it’s always brought up in a way that seems to diminish the impact of what he’s doing. I’m responsible for what I do as a human being with mental illness, and it seems like Ye never has to actually be culpable in any meaningful way and…

This happened as she was trying to file a complaint but the other thing here is that even if you, as a victim of abuse, do everything you are supposed to do - you are still essentially helpless.

Think of it this way. A protection order can be served on your behalf which can also force your abuser to hand over their…

Right, I had someone tell me today that it won’t sway any conservatives and...were they going to watch this? Of course not.

I do think it can be edifying for people who want to do well but feel confused, and rightfully so given the dreck NY Times runs, but by and large: sometimes you’re okay with a good old fashioned…

I think they’re pretty open about times when they felt like they didn’t quite handle things right; mainly, I think it’s defining a trans character’s true step into womanhood via bottom surgery, and at a couple times they kind of riff on that.

By and large, Always Sunny was more progressive on that front - the entire…

I mean, it’s one thing to have beliefs that differ from your church and feel frustrated when you routinely state that you don’t share those beliefs regardless and maybe another when you routinely deny that said church even has the beliefs they...absolutely do?

I mainly just dislike Pratt because I think he’s a…

I was a teenager working there during the beanie baby thing. Prior to the pandemic, it was the most I’d ever seen grown-ass adults cry and scream about trivial shit.

I don’t know that I think it blindsides them - I think corporate just doesn’t actually give a shit if the individual employees are tortured. I had figured they’d be pretty slammed but hadn’t realized it would be this bad, though I had a hint from the drivethru today, though maybe it’s always bad and I had no idea…

Trevor Noah had a comment on last night’s Daily Show along the lines of “that’s the impact Trump has had on them - they don’t even care about the hypocrisy now” and I wanted to scream. They’ve never cared. 

I am hot and cold on his work but it really just feels like it’s from a bygone era of Jez and a tone that doesn’t quite work here anymore. Though god, what even is the tone at Jez anymore

I dunno Rich, I guess I can conjure some snark about it but for the most part that video seemed to be guys trying really hard to communicate the best way they saw to deal with a situation in which one of their friends and business partners destroyed a personal relationship with his family and with them and also abused…

They’re also eh in terms of further cementing the highly sophisticated behavioral science unit which like, sure, okay, I guess, but I find it kind of interesting that we really like to establish serial killers as geniuses able to confound us at every turn when these guys are bumbling-ass losers who get away with it…

I guess I will say this: John Kennedy’s message is horrifying, but it’s not like his overall hope for more police funding isn’t also a Dem value. Biden’s happy to give them billions. 

I like Billy Eichner, generally; I think he’s funny, I think he does stick up for the trans community and given how we’re treated by a lot of cis gay guys, that’s notable and appreciated. But I’ll be real, I’m waiting for Bros to hit streaming or something. I’m not sure who the intended audience is supposed to be for…

I watched it and tapped out on the 8th episode (post-trial). There is one episode - the one written by Mock, I believe - which is less horrible, but it’s nested in with the rest and has a feeling like they recognized they needed to lace it in to offset the rest. MAYBE it’s getting through to people who don’t somehow…

I love it that they’ve got someone like Gaetz in their party and the best material they seem to have come up with on Fetterman is that he has a NIN tattoo. Oh no!!

It was the writing staff. The writing’s the issue moreso than Noah I think, but I think that a lot of this is also the political landscape changing a lot and Daily Show not quite feeling like it was keeping up. To be fair, I’m an irritating leftist so maybe I’m skewed here but while it would definitely be pretty…

Even if the bodycam footage shows exactly what they are describing, an additional issue is all of their actions leading to that point exacerbating this situation as they always do.

Oh, rats. I had no idea that someone was going to be checking for my tits if I wanted in. Totally rethinking that surgery now!

It’s not about training, it’s not about reform, it’s not about diverse hiring. Any efforts to do these things are worthless due to the entire manner in which police departments operate. At some point y’all really need to get it through your heads: you cannot reform this and throw more and more money for nebulous…

Good thing Biden’s giving these motherfuckers more money. Harm reduction!
