I think the current generation of American comedians is immensely talented and abundant. To me, the biggest problem facing comedy right now is also one of my favorite parts about it: podcasting. I can't knock the form, as it has introduced me to so many comedians I never would have heard of otherwise, but I also think

The surprise isn't going to be in the Best Picture race. The splits in the past years were preceded by splits among the precursors.
Gravity and 12 Years a Slave tying at PGA and Gravity winning the DGA and 12 Years a Slave winning the SAG, before splitting Picture/Director at the Oscars.
The Life of Pi/Argo split was

This is a top-notch Community reference. I was trying to place it, heard Martin Starr's voice in my head and it all came rushing back.

You're supposed to walk quickly in place while the floor beneath you moves in a circle! That's why you didn't get the audition! You didn't understand the requirements.

and she SMILED while she blew him!

I don't think I have ever seen a supporting act touted in a news article above a headlining act before, and both AVClub and Pitchfork did it for this story (Pitchfork's reads "Wavves Announce 2017 Tour with Blink-182")

My Head Hurts is a gem.

Creative bankruptcy is a matter of personal opinion, but you are objectively wrong in regards to their cultural relevance, at least in the United States. California debuted at number one, and Bored to Death is one of the biggest radio hits they've ever had.

You are incorrect!

But the people who employ these terms have always existed and are happy to finally have a way to discuss their non-binary identities or behaviors. Confusing doesn't mean impossible to understand. You just have to, y'know, try.

I'm not familiar with the sexist General Mills commercial to which you're referring.
My comment was more about integrated marketing in general. From a creative standpoint, I don't like it. It takes me out of whatever I'm watching. The only times I've enjoyed it are when it's leaned into heavily, like in the Josie &

"Unnecessarily complicated things" aka "I don't understand this, it confuses me, it doesn't fit neatly into one of these three boxes, so I'm just going to dismiss it out of hand instead of try to understand it, and tacitly contribute to the stigmatization of a whole lot of people."

Around the same time "tranny" did.

The Totino's sketch is interesting from another angle, too. They've been doing that for a few years now, but I believe this was the first time it was actually officially sanctioned by Totino's, given SNL's new "sponsored" sketches this year. Still not really sure how I feel about that. Some of them have been really

Kristen Stewart has a lot of young fans, and for many of them who don't fit the binary, particularly those in small-minded small American towns, when she refused to define her sexuality, it was a big deal. Her reaffirming that on SNL last night, saying she's "like, so gay dude" and being featured in a sketch where she

Anyone else notice this episode had a higher number of women playing male characters than usual? McKinnon as Bieber, Leslie Jones as Samuel L. Jackson, McCarthy as Spicer, KStew as Charlie…at least 4. I wonder if that was Kristen Stewart's influence.

Lesbo certainly has the potential to be pejorative, particularly when a straight person uses it in a reductive and dismissive manner, as you did.

German Shepherd.

Which is why I said "and also The Hurt Locker"…precisely because it doesn't fit that description.

Stephen Sondheim is weeping.
