You know that scene from Broadcast News where they’re editing that report to the very last possible second? Holly Hunter is completely cool about it but Joan Cusack is hyperventilating and screaming “We’re never gonna make it!” Robert Mueller is Holly Hunter and I and a lot of other people are Joan Cusack.

Admitting this makes me feel a little pathetic, but I knew they were over as soon as I saw the videos of the Bass-Waddell wedding that Evan posted on IG. There was a video where his sons were having fun and dancing and there were Nick and Vanessa in the background, also dancing, but very, very far apart and not…

Jesus. Nick Viall needs a simple lifestyle blogger chick- not some Penelope Cruz level hottie who helps special needs kids for a living. And on that note: They did a shit job casting the last two seasons. They need to start editing out people who aren’t in the same league as the bachelor /bachelorette. Vanessa was…

I can acknowledge the point, buried somewhere in there, that it must be very irritating to have created great female characters like Ripley and (to some extent) Sarah Connor, and have everyone “Finally!”-ing Wonder Woman.

I will always remember Jay Thomas as the idiot who got fired from a recurring role on Cheers because he went on the radio and said how difficult it was to have to kiss Rhea Perlman. He also hosted that reality gameshow in the early 2000s where people got married to people they had never met.

This is the only statement about crystals I have ever respected.

The old Taylor is dead? Really? Because I’m sure a shitty chours of “Look what you just made me do” is still playing the victim. Unless you’re in an abusive, gaslighting relationship or have a gun to your head nobody is making you do anything.

It’s fascinating to watch such personal growth and creative development!

Look what you made me do.

I’m,

Perfect description... but am I terrible for feeling like aesthetically she won’t be able to pull edgy off? Her last attempt was sooooo lame

Of course it’s calculated. It’s still a bad song, though.

when you say “goofy on purpose” do you mean bad on purpose? I haven’t seen anyone say that it’s too goofy or silly, just that it’s badly made/boring/has a terrible, uncatchy chorus. Like, how are people being “played” by not liking a song? I just can’t see how you can say that unless you’d be willing to say that no…

Just full on David Attenborough that bullshit.

That chorus is...not what I was expecting.

I think it’s great that the new Taylor is willing to stand up for herself by holding grudges and getting even with people who made her the victim. It’s really groundbreaking territory for her lyrics.

I’ve only listened once so far and am very tired, but I definitely took it as her playing the victim rather than owning up to her misguided publicity efforts last summer. I interpreted it as her detailing how someone else’s actions make her seem like a villain, thus shirking responsibility for her new reputation.

Aren’t you generally supposed to release a good song for your album’s first single?

This is sports culture in America. Sports teams get amazing funding as teachers are struggling to keep pencils in their classrooms, many of our colleges rank sports as more important than classes, sports are being pushed onto kids younger and younger, and they’re only getting more extreme. And I don’t mean like fun,…

Running out of books was the show’s downfall. The showrunners and writers aren’t particularly creative or even artistic, so we’re getting this expensive, well-produced dreck. When the spoilers for the season came out I read them all and went “eh, okay, better to know it now than find out as the show airs and get angry…
