I imagine people know there will be porn sooner rather than later, especially with Harley Quinn a pinup for many. The idea of being shocked by this seems...very quaint for AV Club. 

MEANWHILE AT HBO

Good on Sesame Street for working to help kids tackle such a difficult subject.

A minor nitpick is that Rucka wrote Kate to be a “lipstick lesbian” (ie, not just traditionally feminine but classily feminine, as befits a socialite) not a butch lesbian, as he wanted to avoid playing into stereotypes, and create more contrast between Kate and Batwoman. I’m not sure if this is acutally a big deal,…

Yeah, we need a male movie star to come out publicly and complain that he made less money than his female co-star so everyone can then scream about what a dick he is for pointing that out.

They didn’t “before.”  Sure, I buy parity for Before Midnight, but not Sunrise, when Hawke was a rising star who was actually famous and Delpy was....some European person that no one in the US had ever heard of. 

He wasn’t Tom Cruise but Reality Bites was probably a big enough hit that Hawke being in Linklater’s movie probably helped get it financed and distributed? Maybe? I think he was on the cover of Rolling Stone back then.

I feel like this would actually be a story if she’d gotten paid less for her work on Before Midnight. Like, maybe instead of the headline decrying she got paid less for a movie made in 1995 when she was a considerably less bankable star than Ethan Hawke, the headline should have acknowledged how badass it was that she…

So the story is that Deply didn’t get paid a fair and equitable wage in a film in 1995 in relation to a show in 2019 and a film in 2017, even though she got paid an equal wage in 2013? Help me, understand the timelines here and who I’m supposed to be angry at, is it modern Linklater or 1995 Linklater or what? I mean I…

“But also it’s really not all that complicated, in so far as if you’ve ever watched Before Sunrise and thought “Obviously, Julie Delpy’s performance here is only as tenth as valuable as Ethan Hawke’s,” you’re out of your goddamn mind.”

First song off the album was a 6+ minute slog. I tapped out a couple minutes in. 

Come on, man, you gotta admit this kind of thing has a real dictator-y feel to it, right?  Does it bother you at all that Trump wanted to do this in Washington?

Xi practicing the night before:

This thing is adorable. They designed it this way so that no one would want to shoot at it, right?

Who pays attention to these brain-dead losers, anyway? Taylor Swift had to be informed that she’s worshipped by Nazi skinhead fringe losers  because... how would she know what these losers think, otherwise.

Nah, man, 4chan helped to install a POTUS, so the logical thing is to give them as much sociocultural power as possible. Because we’re fucking morons, apparently.

yeah, that’s a good point. It is redistribution of wealth, point blank. I think the author is getting hung up on reading income as “where all your wealth comes from” instead of “income” as an income stream.

If you’re a couple you’re getting $24,000. Maybe one parent can quit their job or cut their hours and spend more time with their kids.

Nobody will be spending their UBI on medication because he is also for Medicare for All. Please look up his policies before criticizing. Thank you.

I don’t disagree, esp. re: the stale jokes, but it seems like the same people who don’t want to hear anything from Yang are applauding Bernie for “pushing the conversation forward” when anyone brings up flaws with that 2016 campaign. Yang does push the conversation toward thinking ahead about the future of labor and…
