Man, I hate it when people have user names that reference tornadoes. I mean, people die when tornadoes hit. It’s not “funny” to call yourself tornado pants because pants can kill you in a tornado.

I was thinking that too— but I also feel like she sacrificed her childhood to the industry, and unlike Lilo, is a genuinely really good performer. I feel like she never half-assed a role or compared herself to Marilyn Monroe. Until her breakdown, it seems like she stayed pretty well away from the tabloids. Not too…

Ugh, I feel weird about how much I like Jenny Slate. I followed her on Twitter because she’s funny and I figured her tweets would give me a good laugh now and then...but, I just find her very, I don’t know, genuine and good? I feel like if I saw her on the street I would accidentally act like we were old pals.

This is all a plot by the Republicans to make it appear that Trump isn’t the most senile person in Washington DC.

Yeah, I think the was a way for him to not hug her but also not seem kinda like an ass? Like, “Sorry, not a hugger, how about a high five!” It felt like he wanted to embarrass her. But I do think her creeping forward after he said no was also Not Cool.

100% agree. Was it an amazing piece of comedy? Probably not. Is it worthy of all this pearl-clutching and outrage, including from people on the left? HELL FUCKING NO. Also, internet, please stop comparing this to tea party racists burning Obama in effigy and fake lynching him, this is not even remotely comparable.…

Man, this community’s willingness to shit all over Kathy Griffin (who has had an astounding career when you actually look it up) is gross. Our enjoyment of comedy is of course subjective and no one has to like anyone, but yikes.

Does the dog make it?

Democrats also have the problem of not actually having a message, or a coherent ideology, or much to offer these days beyond “we’re not as terrible as the other guys,” which makes their sales pitch all the more difficult. I tend to think if they addressed those issues while fighting voter suppression they’d have an…

Liberals have always been much more concerned with maintaining norms of respectable public discourse than combating...oh...say...violent white supremacy.

This Kathy Griffin situation has had me seething and is a prime example of why I’m hesitant to identify as a liberal/Democrat despite my politics aligning with them.

I think it’s funny that they talk about the sun effectively having no surface, and then give the temp on the effective surface. lol

it’s your time to shine, paris!

“...my makeover when I met Kanye—and I will say that Kanye got me a new team and we kind of documented it... I needed a new vibe.”

No matter how much I see about these people, they are a total mystery to me. It’s like they are always standing outside themselves, looking at their lives and exteriors like a new Coke…

Both this and “she thought she should *want* to marry him/things will get better once we’re married/it’s just cold feet/whatever doubts were going through her head in the days leading up to it” can be true.

But that’s how employment works. There’s no guarantee that your employee will stick around forever, and I would guess that in the entertainment/dance world, you come to expect that people leave productions for other jobs.

As someone once said of Donald Trump, he is what a hobo imagines a rich man to be. These sitcoms are what morons think nerds are like.

So brave! Thank you for your service.

She didn’t refuse to do press. She refused to pay for her own flights and give up her income from her show to do press and campaign for an Oscar. Daniels could have paid for her flights, put her up, supplemented her income to “campaign” for something that was supposedly an honor, but he didn’t. He didn’t give Gabby…

What did she do, exactly? I have seen no evidence of her doing anything untoward. She didn’t campaign for the Oscar she won, she spoke out about unfair treatment, unequal pay—you know, the things women, especially Black women, are supposed to just accept. Maybe it isn’t smart and it certainly isn’t “playing the game,”…
