That'd be something, at least. A start.

I can't wish that on us any more than I can a silver lining in today's news. There is no upside to that kind of mass horror, anymore than there is to having to potentially go around the country having to try to fuckin' re-legalize abortion state by fuckin' state in the 21st goddamn century. And yes, I've seen people today try to argue that doing so will 'just re-motivate the base!' Or lose the GOP that wedge issue permanently. No. Some things are not worth the cost.
All we can do is what we did after the election in '04 - among many other miserable times. One foot in front of the other.
If you liked that, you'll love this:
A bit more from that podcast. Remorse mixed with self-pitying and rationalizing. I frankly don't think Roseanne is stable enough to ever acknowledge her own learned bigotry. I think she truly believes what she's saying and even feels remorse, but I also think she'd impulsively turn around a few weeks from now and say some other bigoted shít without a thought because the person of color she slammed wasn't someone she knew or was close to. It's the rule most racists develop for black people or people of color - 'the good ones' and then everyone else. That's the compartmentalization in her mind. She transformed into a habitual bigot over a period of years. Do I think real psychiatric help could help her, maybe, but Roseanne's had a lot of shrinks. She also suffered brain damage. And as many have said, mental illness does not equal racism. But racism can come to the fore or be exacerbated through mental illness.
I think Conn was good in a secondary female lead role, which Katie was for many years. Putting her in the top tier later on was a mistake, and her RL relationship with Austin Peck made them both pretty insufferable though they clicked onscreen initially. She didn't start out cold IMO, but she became cold as the frontburner grind wore her down. And she was too old - or at least, came off too old and hard - to be playing the unnecessarily elongated role they gave her on OLTL.
Jon & Ygritte Tie The Knot!
Lynch talks to the Guardian: It's not a terrible piece but also, I feel, aims to be a bit negative in places, trying for snide re: Season 3 in spots. As for Lynch, we know his views on politics, relationships, etc. are a bit devoid of immediate or instantly emotional context. He's not pro-Trump in his commentary (though sites are already running with that misleading clickbait quote), and his relationships with his wives and lovers have always been hot and cold. He has admitted many times to being innately selfish. Yet none of them have come out hating him that I know of (Isabella Rossellini was just at his last big Festival of Disruption IIRC) and his children love him. It's a strange and dangerous balance but it works for him.
I heard a slightly different story: She committed to doing at least a solid 10-20 minutes of material as Frannie (which is a lot for a guest star celebrity on a 42-minute soap opera) , but Goutman then proceeded to take this as implicit permission to write her into several shows. Julianne's management freaked out and demanded her time then be cut down. It was Goutman that messed it up.
Tonight in 2018 a.k.a. "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" - Tom Arnold!
She's dead. It's no big secret.
Roseanne's ensemble is several cuts above anything on The Hogan Family.
