Looking forward to "Clarissa Explains What a Catch is."

Well, except for Austrian democracy not being a thing they could lose or reject to begin with. Austrian democracy had been overthrown in 1933 and replaced by a clerical fascist regime. It’s just that one feature of this regime was its determination to maintain Austrian independence against the threat of German…

“Please watch this video by clicking the link on this actor we kinda like...but we’re going to make sure you know we kinda don’t like him also... but it’s a great tweet...but also it’s bad!”

Replies that Schwarzenegger did x or y terrible thing when he was in power rather miss the point. He ran and governed as a Republican and advanced things that Republicans traditionally believe in. That’s what it is to exist in a pluralistic democracy. What didn’t he do? Try to overthrow that democracy. A low bar I…

This still doesn’t answer the most important question: who the fuck are these people?

Ugh. Your lame tactic of calling anyone who disagrees with you a right wing zealot is as dumb as it is predictable.

You forgot to include a "says the guy who" routine here.

AV Club tells me “cancel culture” is not real; ContraPoints, a transwoman who routinely produces pieces far more insightful than anything I’ve seen at AV Club (outside of an occasional Teti or O’Neal piece, when they were things), describes the phenomenon and her experience of it, at length.

It’s also in an interview so someone was actually asking him a question, it’s not John Cleese offering a bad take no one asked for on Twitter.

Ten years ago, Indigenous Australian activist Larissa Behrendt made a joke about Aboriginal elder Bess Price’s approval about the Northern Territory National Emergency Response.

There's like a dozen cancel hashtags on Twitter at any given moment, but the AV Club still thinks "cancel culture" is a manufactured boogeyman of old white guys.

As usual, the AV Club has done a real disservice to the subject they’re reporting on.

The full apology note is worth reading, as it is exactly the kind of apology we always say we want: one that acknowledges fault, explains the thinking behind the action while admitting it was flawed thinking, and commits to being…

To be fair, if you read John Roderick’s actual apology and not just AVC’s spin on it, that is pretty much exactly what he’s saying too.

Unfunny and vaguely unbelievable in the way that most of these kind of long, “stories from my crazy life!” Twitter threads are always unfunny

Says the person absolutely sure THEY know what everybody REALLY means and invents a conversation between two people that only exist in their heads.

Twitter’s ravenous maw has consumed another one.

Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor would like a word. Maybe they could tell you that you can tell them apart by thinking about it for half a second.

So, like all reasonable people understood from the get-go, he wasn’t ACTUALLY being an abusive father, but instead exaggerating for comedic effect? Shocking. 

I get the impression Snyder is VERY forgiving of actors who can’t act while Whedon isn’t.

This sucks because as we all know Cyborg has been the lynchpin of the Justice League franchise for many, many, many years.
