what if we solve both our problems by inventing a time machine to rescue both Chris Pine and Brendan Fraser from these films and let them make something fun together where there’s no fat suits and everyone on set is as nice as they are

it is absolutely, 100% possible that Joe Biden simultaneously possesses: A) a sincere desire to help other men do better and be better in fighting rape culture and respecting women's boundaries AND B) a complete lack of self-awareness of the ways he contributes to this culture

3. Biden started Its On Us because he believes to meaningfully change our culture, everyone - including those often left out of the conversation like college athletes and fraternity brothers - needed to be part of the movement.

there are only really two kinds of people: “it’s worth it to help people in need even if there’s a chance someone might take advantage” or “it’s not worth it to help people in need because there’s a chance someone might take advantage”

I was mulling over Drew Carey’s amazing generosity and realized his offer to pay for meals for anyone with a WGA card opened himself up to so much grift both from the establishments and outside AND HE SIMPLY DIDN’T CARE. He is the true patron saint of screenwriters.

do you ever think about how in "A Muppet Christmas Carol" Michael Caine as Scrooge is yelling about how much poor people suck and he's like "if they're going to die, they'd better do it, and decrease the surplus population," and that's basically the GOP's entire COVID policy now

the unearned guilt fans put themselves through in the “separating art from artist” conversation makes me so sad the problem isn’t that Buffy meant something to you; it’s how your love was used, by both Whedon & the system enabling him, to ensure he kept getting free passes.

We have to admit that the rise of disinformation is due, in part, to the fact that the journalism industry didn’t take covering internet culture seriously until 2016.

it makes me like Biden better that Kamala went hard for him in the primary and didn't pull any of her punches about his dubious record on race, and he not only didn't get super fragile and take it personally but he decided "this is what my administration needs more of"

David Duchovny having to SUE for his fair share of “The X-Files” is all the proof you need that no one is protected from this fuckery. there is no amount of fame or influence, no contribution to to a show’s success, that will make the studios do right by you unless forced.

David Duchovny sued Fox because Fox sold "The X-Files" reruns to Fox-owned stations in a sweetheart deal (rather than on the open market), scamming him and other participants out of millions of dollars (they settled out of court). Studios will try to get away with everything.
