I won't link as there would be spoilers, but Leslie Jones had a fun Twitter watchalong yesterday. The hashtag is #longassmovie. I had forgotten, or didn't take the time to look, at just how ugly the campaign was. (Snyder himself did not seem to have anything to do with that element). I'm not surprised they are reluctant to go back. https://www.vox.com/22339680/zack-snyder-cut-justice-league-hbo-max-toxic-fandom-backlash

Even sadder is no one will care and nothing will get done. The best I can say is this time we probably won't be hearing the police and some press trying to make us feel sympathy for the shooter and ignore the victims.

Loving eventually has a very strong cast, who carry the show through many regimes. I don't get the impression that was the case when Nixon and Marland were there though. Marland's 86-87 ATWT is closer to what Long might have done. It is at times excellent, other times it feels very unnatural (the scene where Iva waves a pitchfork at Josh, Meg's fantasies, etc.). His writing from the strike on is much more contained and somber; I think it's the most refined version of what he struggled to put together up to that point (his GL work feels especially difficult to put together).

Speaking of Mayorkas, Faux News is now putting out false information that he has resigned. So that tells you what the media will be pushing next.

Marland's GL writing was so cold, which didn't do the Bauers a lot of favors (Mart Hulswit's firing was a huge mistake for that reason). I do think he would have been more likely to keep them on than Kobe/Long were, but they were not especially appealing for me when I watch his run.

Thanks, @DaytimeFan . Great to see Joan having so much fun and with such energy. I often worry about Liza, so I'm pleased she managed to make it through this year and got to enjoy herself on her birthday.

I think they are terrified, they know that an immigration bill can't be worked out between the wings of the party and will not pass (and Republicans won't help them), so it just keeps on becoming more and more of an issue, eagerly pushed forward by the press. The media knows all these headlines have drowned out the COVID relief, just as they planned.

Politico's Playbook, seemingly desperate for drama, is trying to claim that Democrats are pulling out all the stops to take back an Iowa House seat that the Republican won by 6 votes, framing it as hypocrisy and "both sides," and ignoring reporting that makes it clear it's not going to happen.

Tom Reed was pushed for years as a "sensible conservative" media darling type, even though he was neither.

Thomas Middleditch is also the guy who decided to give an extensive interview about the needs that made him pull his wife into a swinging lifestyle- said marriage ended not long after.

The sheer glee in this is shameful. Why people have expectations of Washington Post, I don't know.

Great job.

Sorry. I do agree that a number of people his age have no problem with pot. But it has tended to be a line in the sand for him, and I am guessing he's also getting some pressure from those around him to take a harder line.
