“Why not? I am a team player. After all, there is no “i” in billionaire... there’s two.”

“Wait. I’m underpaid?”

Also, nobody is unable to lie, especially if their own well-being is at stake. But Rob Thomas likes to go cartoonish at times, especially with this show (see also: wrestlers don’t constantly talk like they’re doing a promo in character. They live normal lives when they’re off the clock).

To reduce his contribution to television to saying that the people watching him just “hope . . . [he] won’t use a racial slur, belittle the #MeToo movement or an entire religion, or find smirky solidarity with a self-promoting white supremacist” is to miss his entire point and to make it for you without even knowing…

Can only perfect people protect their colleagues from sexual harassment? His appearance and explanation of the situation proves that he should have been fired. His claim seems to have been that he stood by and did nothing to protect an NBC co-worker from abuse (he actually sounds on the tape like he’s enabling and…

I don’t think we all have to wait around until we’re perfect before we’re allowed to criticize people’s gross behavior.

You’re upset because her clothing wasn’t sufficiently modest? Ew.

Normally, I might agree with you but Billy was AT WORK when this was said TO HIM by an interview subject and his follow-up was not a question, asking the sleazebag to clarify or explain but to chuckle along, tacitly agreeing with the sentiment. Fuck him.

That’s the thing, his rehabilitation is completely unnecessary, and serves no social function, if it ever occurs.

The most accurate medical show I have ever seen is Scrubs. My wife told me I needed to watch ER with her. 10 minutes in, my wife told me I was never allowed to watch ER with her ever again.

Apart from some wonderful humor courtesy of Liv (“She also looks like she’d make a great mother”) and the absence of Angus, I actually did not totally enjoy this episode, due to some awkward tones and underdeveloped details, and I found myself underwhelmed and unsatisfied.

I mostly feel uncertain about Renegade, who,…

Doesn’t make her smart, just attractive. Oscars ain’t shit, especially hers. She sucked in that stupid, saccharine horseshit movie. She is not a good actress

I really have high hopes for Season 3 because Appleby and Zimmer were so good and the story has great twist and turns in Season 1. Season 2 was a mess: characters came back with no satisfying purposes (Chet, Adam), the manufactured story-lines were dumb (the shooting, the Yael’s white dress), and ugh the death of…

Speaking of Stanley Tucci, how has HE not won any academy awards yet? The man has been working forever. Emmys and Golden Globes, but no Oscars yet.

No. The media reports news. A suicide isn’t news unless it’s a major figure because suicides are things people do to themselves. The media doesn’t cover drug overdoses either, for the same reason.

No, sorry. TV stations aren’t to blame. Could they change the way they cover mass shootings to be less sensational? Sure, but they aren’t to blame - this is just the standard NRAhole strategy (similar to t.Rump’s SOP) of trying to blame everyone else so they don’t have to take even a tiny bit of responsibility for…

She almost had it, but Camerota made a counterpoint that also got missed in the Loesch shit-spray: mass shootings aren’t that shocking/ratings grabbing anymore. Compare Columbine to Virginia Tech to Sandy Hook to San Bernadino to Fort Hood to Bataclan to Pulse to Las Vegas to this shooting. There’s coverage, there’s…

This is the era of “it feels true” Loesch is a perfect image of that narrative.

And yet there she is, on “legacy news”, discussing a mass shooting, while decrying media attention on such shootings! There is no truth in anything she says.

Also proven effective in preventing mass shootings: stricter gun laws. Let’s go with that one first, then address the media.
