Could someone please explain to me what Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have against nuking the filibuster (aside from the obvious)? And for God's sake, WHAT are they DOING serving as DEMOCRATS?? At the VERY least, their local Democratic parties should censure them, the way the Wyoming GOP censured Liz Cheney, if not boot them from the party outright.

It's silly, I know, but I keep thinking about Joss' dad, the late Tom Whedon, a writer-producer ("Alice," "Benson," "The Golden Girls," etc.) of whom I'm a big fan. I wonder how the senior Whedon, if he were still alive, would have responded to these reports about his son. Would he have believed these men AND women who have spoken out against Joss? Would he have supported and/or defended his son? I mean, who knows? Maybe he would have believed there's nothing wrong with that kind of "casually cruel" behavior. Maybe this was how HE had behaved BTS at all the different series he had worked on.

So, we're back to being called "Negroes"? "It was in the '60's." Well, then, let's keep it there, shall we?

The Justin Timberlake Thread
I've always agreed with Allmusic.com's Stephen Thomas Erlewine, who says that Justin Timberlake's music is all surface and no substance, like a "showbiz kid" who's trying too hard.

I think we're reading much too much into these paper-thin characters with their equally paper-thin motivations for doing anything. Blake dumped Alexis, because Alexis was carrying on with Roger Grimes; and Alexis was carrying on with Roger Grimes, because his penis was hot and ready. The end.

And you have the mayor -- who's been sort of a disappointment to me, quite frankly -- siding with the 31%. Madness.

The Media/Journalism Thread
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.

Good! She's been a cancer on the profession since "60 Minutes." Jan Hooks' impression of her on SNL was deservedly scathing.- Hollywood Sexual Harrasment/Assault Thread

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?- Melrose Place
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.- The Politics Thread

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. - The Politics Thread
