I miss Apu; I lose it every time he utters the line "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" after Skinner tells him his ripoff book idea based on Jurassic Park. 😅 #TheSimpsonsGoats #TheSimpsons #SimpsonsForever

Sarah was one of the few to fight Trump. Many republicans either bent the knee or stfu. We’d be in a better place as a country if more Republicans spoke up in 2016.

Why does the next Governor of Texas not have 100 thousand followers on X? If you can't donate can you at least follow her?

There’s such a firehouse of insanity that this barely broke through…but it’s such a disgusting betrayal. NO US president should mock another US president to a foreign leader, much less an adversary. IN OUR OWN HOUSE.

People value what they want, but the problem that you quickly run into is that there are relatively few general electorates that are majority Republican. So if you elevate a Republican without sufficient appeal to Independents, you put the seat at risk.

It's premise is that turning it into spectacle is bad. It's also just not a good way to conduct a sting by interviewing criminals on camera by a journalist without a lawyer present. Which is why the conviction rate was low compared to other police stings.

I’m sure Chris Hanson is a jerk, but I feel like the discourse around this movie wants me to believe that it’s not fair to expose and humiliate and destroy child predators, and I disagree with that premise.

great film but it really does try to make you go "is being hungry for ratings as bad as being a pedophile" and it's like well, no. also the issue i had with the doc

Yes as much as it sucks to like, "promote harassment" you can't just let people fester in their echo chambers and, in noire's case, a bubble of cruelty. It's extremely necessary to shame this behavior out of people.

I'll argue that it's not the audience, but rather a belief that online discourse represents the general consensus. Everyone claimed that the multiverse was the problem, even as Doctor Strange 2, Spider-Man 3, Deadpool 3 and Loki were tops among 2020s MCU movies and shows.

The first "Superman" animated short from Fleischer Studios premiered on this day (Sept. 26) in 1941! A groundbreaking technical achievement in animation, these 17 shorts have left a lasting mark on both the Superman mythos and the animation industry! #FleischerSuperman #Superman

I think that speaks more to the expansion and fragmentation of the media market. Audiences had far fewer options! Show like Cheers that were not initially successful could grow on them. (Conversely, artists making great work that wasn’t deemed accessible couldn’t get it aired.)

Young Sheldon averaged about 7x as many viewers. It's fine, I greatly enjoyed Breaking Bad and most of the shows on the list. But if these are the shows you love, you're probably a bit of an outlier in the context of broader America.

Breaking: Times critics think that shows enjoyed by college-educated Americans rock. Meanwhile, shows like NCIS, the Big Bang Theory, and Desparate Housewives drew over 20x as many viewers as an average Breaking Bad series. The Joe Millionaire finale drew 40x as many viewers.

Always rooting against Dems and America and can’t even spell Kool Aid.

Everyone grasps it but they still want to pretend this behavior is not bigoted because women are pure and perfect and only men harm.

No. I think you are neurotic, probably all with diagnosable psych conditions that would benefit from medications. Your friends and family think so too. Truly I don’t think you are correct at all.

I’m not trying to say this is science or predictive, it’s just anecdotal, so take it FWIW…but I’ve never heard this many three-time Trump voters in places like Texas, Iowa, Kansas, and Ohio specifically use the “E” word before right now. They say they are “embarrassed” of Trump. Plenty will still vote for him…but this is NEW as I’ve talked to these voters for multiple election cycles.

there's a compounding factor to this: soe noire is likely the last ditch's only black patron, jackie is hesitant to take him to task because that space would only see a white bar owner beefing with her only black patron and ignore his shithousery

Is she evil? Yes. Is she clearly in the midst of a dire mental health crisis? Absolutely. Do I think it’s kind of fun that she’s dressed like Catwoman for no apparent reason? Unfortunately also yes.
