"Damn John Jay! Damn everyone who won't damn John Jay!! Damn everyone
that won't put lights in his windows and sit up all night damning John

I would hope an Irish-Ethopian actress being cast as Tulip doesn't mean another black person can't be cast later, but TV executives are often the dashers of such hopes.

Luckily, I also think a lot of dumb shit is funny.

It doesn't seem like a coincidence they cast non-Americans as both Jesse and Tulip, but maybe it is. I always thought the fact that Ennis didn't quite get America in many little ways was apparent. The comics being a Brit's version of America assembled from pop culture made them interesting to read, but not something a…

Eastwood insists on his politics chair getting an appearance. Do you still cast him?

I'm sorry his dad died, but I can't stomach this song. I'm fine with Good Riddance, but this is rejected late-period Goo Goo Dolls level vaguely catchy but really not saccharine crap.

Or have a Scottish cousin who nobody hates too much.

I think you're remembering it a little different than it was, given that 23 senators and 133 representatives voted no. Definitely a significant minority, including a few Republicans.

Billy Bragg's Bushworld Blues still gets stuck in my head for no particular good reason.

I just watched part of the one linked up there and you might well be right. It seems so bad on purpose I kinda expect Scott Ian to show up fake crying at the end. Though Anthrax's joke ballad NFB is a much better song than this one.

I didn't have a problem with the ending so much as everything else that he wrote after the big hiatus. I think the ending works.

I'll say this for carpool karaoke, it's the only clip from a late night talk show I've watched on YouTube because I don't care for any late night talk shows and haven't watched one regularly this century, but Adele singing in a car is okay. I suspect I'm not alone in this.

The phrase was also originally coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes in reference to a case involving not shouting fire in a theater, but rather a socialist peacefully speaking out against the World War I draft, which was at the time illegal to do.

I think people are pretty good at convincing themselves that god wants them to have a private jet, given the opportunity.

Only crappy shows are spoiled by knowing the ending. There's a couple moments in Terriers where you want to go in and be surprised but the ending isn't one of them.

Well, they both had dark hair. But they really played it well, where you at first see her as, well, maybe she's not so crazy, just a little odd and they do a good of showing, nope, mental health problems really suck and hard, she's not just a little whacky. Many powers in the Verse seemed able to stop her.

They absolutely can, but their lawyers have presumably advised them that it might not be in their best interest. As a news organization, that's not-great behavior because your first responsibility is supposed to be to tell your readers the truth, but tough row to hoe and all that.

The estate also said they don't like the story.

Last time I got proselytized on public transit, I got to hear a very long, rambling story about drug addiction and then Satanic cults, which are, I'm told, given to kidnapping people and punching them in the face to try to get them to deny Christ. If you say no, they let you go.

I guess I don't know what most people thought, but I remember reading takedowns of Scientology in the liberal media (the real one, I mean, like Salon and Nation type things) in the late 90s.
