I’m glad that when I run for office, all they’ll be able to find is the porn.

Because in a functioning democracy the Press Secretary works for transparency between the people and the President, and every press briefing from Trump demonstrates how non-functional our democracy currently is.

This probably means Bobby wasn’t doing #Sponcon after all.

The TV show updates the setting to roughly the current day; smartphones and Tinder exist(ed?) in the Hulu version.

A version of Number 9 exists and it is even better than you imagined.

*one of the many many things that made JJ so good

Bucky is Cap’s exboyfriend and Tony is the jealous new dude.

We already cut special “China version” for these films, so I’m not buying this argument.

Part of what makes queer characters into tokens is the whole Celluloid Closet “wink-wink” friend of Dorothy style thing that Hollywood does. It’s not enough to show some vague “are they flirting, are they not” with queer characters. They need to be shown as actually queer.

Well, it’s too late to do it in Guardians of the Galaxy, so yeah.

I would think you “do the character justice” by making her a lesbian, even if she isn’t the focus of the plot. That’s what made Jessica Jones so good—Hogarth is incidentally a lesbian.

Trump: Who would have thought Easter could be so complicated?

Capitalism doesn’t make the kinds of cultural distinctions that human beings do. There is no difference between culture and counter-culture, African American and white culture, queer and straight culture—they are all just culture to be consumed and repackaged to sell things. That’s why you get terrible ads which are…

It depends—didn’t he call himself gay?

I’ve also never seen it, because the premise weirds me out, but I have had a bro tell me in exhausting detail why the film Isn’t Homophobic (tm).

That’s how I teach Jane too.

Lauren, I think you made a typo. Comic Relief is a U.K. charity, not a U.S. one.

Well, they could just put “Sen.” for everyone. No need to differentiate.

Fuck this left, right, and center. This is the job of the Department of Justice, not the DHS. This was a hate crime perpetrated by Americans, not vandalism via foreign operators. Moving this serious crime between departments is just abject nationalism, and can only lead to religious discrimination.
