God DAMN I am tired of this “Marie Kondo is selling out!” whining. Kondo is not anti-stuff. She does not object to personal possessions. She has nothing against capitalism or the acquisition of material goods. At all.

strong Lena Dunham vibes from Alison Roman, so I imagine we’ll just hear shit like this again. and again. and again.

I know I speak for the entire AV Club when I say we are all SO sorry that you had to find out this way, seeing how close you were. Condolences.

Her politics are garbage and she’s also a bad person, but in the realm of this show, she’s refreshing, idc!

SAY WHAT NOW??? I believe you, but where are you reading this gossip? I need to catch up!

She’s a Trump supporter and a Metoo denier.

She acts like she’s hip and cool, but she’s simply more of the same. She’s the worst type of poseur.

And what the fuck does that word even mean in this case?

I meant partisan. Like no one will argue that children shouldn’t go hungry or they shouldn’t be taught to read. (Opponents will just quietly cut funding for such initiatives.) You can’t overly oppose those issues like abortion or climate change or foreign aid.

You had me until ““soft” pet issues like childcare or reading or hunger.” These aren’t soft issues, 20% of all children in America live below the poverty line, which is $17k for a family of 2. Similarly 1 in 4 kids grow up not knowing how to read. 85% of all juveniles who interface with the justice system are…

The criticism of being “unmaternal” by that goofball writer makes me assume she’s never tried to read to a small child before. In my experience, you either get spooky focus or squirmy book tossing. Depending on the baby, both are equally likely, and my unscientific data suggests that it has absolutely nothing to do…

Words nerds, unite!

I eyeroll Kate’s popularity because she’s the epitome of the “ideal” woman: white, non-threatening, no complaints, no opinions, no controversy, sticking to the pre-approved talking points, never showing off intelligence, never speaking up, always being nice, never going off script, always compliant with what TPTB ask,…

“...some restaurant in Los Angeles called the Apple Pan.” FYI, The Apple Pan is a gem; a landmark West LA burger joint. Unchanged since 1947, it’s the kind of place you’d expect to find a femme fatale straight out of a James M. Cain film noir, like Joan Crawford as Mildred Pierce or Lana Turner in The Postman Always…

New word Friday!

Bullshit. Temperature checks were entirely voluntary, which the MSP made loud and clear, and thusly very few of those “protestors” got their temperature taken, instead rushing the chamber doors and trying to break their way through.

Seeing how they managed to spread the coronavirus around and get their families back home infected, those temperature checks weren't really that effective, were they?

You have no ground to stand on. Those “protesters” were no better than terrorists. Multiple participants have actively threatened violence against politicians, and have made it very clear that this was a “warning” to the governor and Michigan lawmakers. Using force and the threat of violence - implicit or explicit -…

I always thought that these white idiots that show up to protest with guns weren’t protesters but terrorists with “legal protection” from short sighted legislators. Now that the Panthers (surprised that no one on TV called them a gang) are doing the same thing, I suspect those same pearl clutching legislators will…

You are making my whole, entire day, Michael!!
