“The anti-abortion law that just got resurrected in AZ was part of a code that also said no Black, Indian, or Asian could testify against whites, forbade all marriages between whites and non-whites, and defined the age of consent to be just ten years old."

Then, my child, you need to stop wallowing in self-inflicted ignorance, go out and binge watch DS9 now.

She played an absolutely realistic mental health nurse and people thought it was the villain of the century.

Winn (and a couple of the other DS9 antagonists) were so great because, while she was basically self-interested, she kinda just had a different, shittier vision of how Bajoran religion and society should be structured and wouldn’t be talked out of it. Until the very end of the show when she throws in with Bajoran…

Or maybe. just maybe, Theron is an actress who has worked for decades on dozens of sets with many directors and actually has the experience and expertise to know what has happened in her own life in her own profession? She used the words fuckable, that’s why it’s in the headline.

Makes me think of the King of the Hill episode where Bobby learns that the secret of Boomhauer's success with the ladies is due to him propositioning every woman he meets until one says yes. After watching him get shot down over and over Bobby decides that constant rejection combined with bothering strangers isn't for…

Maybe it sounds corny but I do wonder how much of this and other misogynistic problems could be solved by just society acknowledging that it’s ok for men to be single (and depending on your personality you might prefer it).

To paraphrase Tim Minchin, just because an idea is lasting or tolerated does not mean it is worthy. Unless you think that the status quo ever has been and always shall be the best of all possible worlds.

Yes, this is 100% just from me knowing how we talk about it here and is specific to this particular broadcaster. I would say “according to the CBC” but “according to CBC News”. I wonder if, like you suggest, something like NBC or CBS migrates from being an initialism to an acronym (even though technically still an…

Well, I don’t think it’s a big deal in the slightest, and was just writing up a lighthearted thing that keeps coming up in our Slack. I’m dreadfully sorry this ruined your day.

The whole situation reads like a Riverdale script that was rejected as being too far fetched...and that’s saying a LOT.

If I recall, Terry Farrell’s exit on DS9 was also kind of shady. She did not get along with Berman either, and he pretended that she had left the show to go on Becker while she only got that show because she knew her contract wouldn’t be renewed.

Fuck that’s brutal. I totally missed that but that definitely does sound like a Berman kind of thing to do.

Reminds me of how Rick Berman tried to karmically cash in by tweeting a pic of Crosby’s old com-badge that he said had been sitting on his desk ever since she “gave it” to him on her last day of shooting 31 years earlier, and she roasted him for 1) getting wrong the last episode that she filmed, and 2) conveniently…

They won't do well in NYC because there's a hundred delis that don't charge anywhere what JM does and gives you a lot more.

I can’t see them introducing Doom here. Don’t get me wrong, I was shocked that they introduced Kang in the last episode of Loki and kept it (mostly) secret, but that at least fit the circumstances of the story.

I remember an interview somewhere when she said it was because they weren’t doing much with her character, and it didn’t look like they ever would. This wasn’t what I remember, but she says the same thing here:

Don’t forget teaching that not everyone is straight and it’s not the end of the world. We can’t have that.

Except, of course, that no High School anywhere in the United States has pushed CRT.
