  1. IOW, the media tried to control the American public, instead of just reporting the news. Man, I am so sick of the media. The mainstream media AND the fringe media.

    Of all the most offensive ways to celebrate Black History Month....
  3. Meanwhile, Josh Hawley's flying paper airplanes and Rand Paul's drawing an erotic sketch he calls "Swingin' in the Rain."
  4. Good! She's been a cancer on the profession since "60 Minutes." Jan Hooks' impression of her on SNL was deservedly scathing.
  5. And all that from someone (Joss) who is supposed to be all about female empowerment. What a crock.
  6. And then there was the time Diane Sawyer thought it'd be cute to have on Michael Jackson and then-wife Lisa Marie Presley for an interview that just reinforced everyone's worst suspicions about the couple.
  7. Jen Psaki is KILLING it. That's all.
  8. Best of all, Eric Sheffer Stevens appeared to be WAY more comfortable "playing gay" than Jake Silbermann ever did.
  9. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS. My brother gets the bulk of his "news" from GP, so it's awesome to read this news!
  10. The more things change....
  11. Amber Ruffin is a [!@#$%^&*] national treasure.
  12. I don't know if Fox News/Fox Business would be "done," but I do think they would HAVE to start being more careful tossing around baseless allegations like they do. They'd have to become more...dare I say...responsible?
  13. I hope you will check it out, if/when it's ever made available on streaming. Even today, you can feel KL's influence on many shows. It was the kind of show that often transcended from good soap opera into good drama, period.
  14. The more you look into it, the more QAnon takes on the look and feel of a Thomas Pynchon novel.
  15. In a way, I get where TPTB were coming from. At that time, the general public knew so little about AIDS, and they understood even less. Most just assumed that gays and POC were the only ones susceptible to it. But, by showing that, in fact, ANY one, even a straight white man or woman, is susceptible to contracting AIDS, they were able to better inform viewers the realities. Otherwise, if they show a gay person or a person of color dying from the virus, they run the risk of reinforcing viewers' misconceptions, which (as recent events have shown us) is something you DON'T want to do during a public health crisis. As wonderful as that "Designing Women" episode about the AIDS crisis was (and still is) to watch, I think it misses something by having a gay man be the one who ultimately succumbs to the virus, despite the fact that AIDS first showed up in the LGBTQ community and that they were hit hardest by it (especially during the Reagan administration). Linda Bloodworth-Thomason did her best to tell her audience the truth about the virus, but I always worry whether the story's outcome (namely, a gay man has contracted AIDS; and now, a gay man is dying from it) actually opened the minds of any real-life Imogene Salingers out there. I think many, if they're even watching at all, reach the conclusion that "they still got what they deserve!" and think no more of it.
  16. Well, I could have told him that on Inauguration Day!
  17. Why are his allies even bothering to advise the team? We already KNOW there won't be enough votes to convict him! It really doesn't matter at this point WHAT the team does and does not bring up at trial.
  18. I actually heard that story on NPR's "Morning Edition" several weeks ago. I couldn't decide whether he was your run-of-the-mill grifter, your run-of-the-mill millennial dope, or both.
  19. Wait, Armie Hammer had a career?
  20. Move over, Buffy. There's a new Slayer in town. ;)
  21. Yeah, I don't trust him. Just as I don't trust any GOP'er who expresses disdain over the party's direction even as they refuse to leave it. IMO, saying you're outraged by the likes of MTG becoming the face and voice of the GOP isn't enough. Either you leave the party for good, as former Oklahoma congressman Mickey Edwards did recently, or you're complicit in their rampant (and dangerous) extremism.

    Chasten. Pete isn't UGLY, but he's on the nerdy side, too.
  23. Agree.
