She's a horribly deluded, talentless figure, so desperate to find a man she married a hideous (inside and out) guy who insulted her on Twitter before they got together. She is worthless.

Thank you for tagging me! I don't envy the burden he faces but I'm sure he will be wonderful. I hope the writing and production will be as well. I will have to check out more of his work.

I can't imagine my comics experience without reading George's work on Teen Titans and in Crisis. Supergirl's death in particular is superbly drawn and cuts right to the bone, then and now.

Sharon Gabet, or whoever is running her channel, has been uploading various vintage clips from 1976-1980. Some are familiar but some are not, to me anyway. @vetsoapfan @Paul Raven @Vee @victoria foxton @danfling @robbwolff @jam6242 @Khan Apologies to anyone I missed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYqj_AmlZiI

Thanks @victoria foxtonfor your links here and in the classic DAYS threads.

There have been various stories about Fred over the years, even going back much further than I realized. I hoped they weren't true, but at this point... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/wonder-years-star-alley-mills-says-completely-ridiculous-sexual-harassment-lawsuit-ruined-show-1079166/

He needs to go at Meet the Press. Not that his replacement will be any better, but there's something particularly loathsome about how dull, stupid, and smug he is.

The public didn't really care about Afghanistan either but the media still made it a centerpiece, because they get to control what they want to control. The same people who love to go on about censorship, like the loathsome Taibbi and Greenwald, will of course have nothing to say about this.

The media is already taking their marching orders to both manipulate the public into only caring about the leak and into downplaying the future of the ruling beyond abortion. The press will never, ever stop watering down and sympathizing with bigotry and persecution.

Yglesias was one of the "sensible" voices who used to go on about Republicans no longer focusing on social issues. Conveniently, no mention of that these days. I saw this as well: There was an article about how tech companies and business are not prepared for what will happen once these laws pass and Roe falls, as they will be obligated to turn over records and dig into the histories of women who have miscarriages, and so on. I guess this is also why they have gone on and on about the evils of big tech - to brainwash the public and their media flacks into being fine with this. All I can think with the homophobia is how much worse this would be if it was not a big conservative "hero" - the way they treated Andrew Gillum, or even the digs at Pete Buttigieg, who has tried so very very hard to be the model gay, really stands out.

A video is going around showing Miss Madison, naked, humping another guy's face. Madison claims this was years ago and was two friends joking (ladies, if your man is humping another man while naked, then unless you're in on it, I'd say it's not a good sign!) This is one of those cases where I said it would happen and I wish I'd been wrong, both because nobody needs to see that and because it's just further normalizing homophobia. It's obvious that this is just going to escalate. He is the dumbest kind of moron - the one who believes he is indestructible. That means a paper trail. I imagine even more is out there and it will keep coming unless he drops out of office.

I've seen people say she needs to move on, but she isn't the one keeping this going. She can rant all day as far as I'm concerned. The show and the people involved with it can eat [!@#$%^&*].

You haven't. I'd be interested too. There's been a lot of push today by Nina's media allies to push her as the oppressed victim of the system, but this was a blowout. Nina is apparently going to grift for President in 2024 rather than try again.

I don't know if you ever saw this but your comment reminded me of it. One of the few pieces of political comedy I have enjoyed in a number of years.

The man who painstakingly edited and uploaded all those clip sets was killed not too long before GL was canceled. I think he would have been proud to know Cynthia was using his work to honor Jerry.

His daughters had, in 2020, begged voters not to support him. I guess at least someone listened...for once... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/26/please-do-not-vote-for-my-dad-republican-daughter-robert-reagan-michigan

One bright spot:

JD Vance is one of the most repulsive figures I've ever seen in politics - not only is he the epitome of swarthiness and looks like he will keel over at any moment, every word out of his mouth is clearly a lie, amped up for extremist backers. The Trump endorsement and weak primary competition meant he had an easy path, but even then he struggled to put it away. And he wears more mascara than a drag queen. Chinless wonders like this triumph because the GOP always sticks together, while the Democratic Party has the lieks of Joe Manchin, who tanked any real chance we had this year. Here is Rob Portman, cheering on the man who will probably put his son in a camp: Speaking of which:

Cecile/Pat as well. We never really got to see Pat fight back as we should have.
