It’s mee-yet. I don’t know what the OP is smoking

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

Reminder that the term “emotional labor” was coined in reference to the emotional cost of maintaining particular affects and attitudes in the workplace - and the misappropriation of that term to refer to being of emotional support to actual loved ones is really misleading and dangerous.

Skeletor has forever destroyed our ability to come up with voices for skeleton characters.

Well it’s not like they could have justified Peggy’s roommate coming with her to LA -what would struggling actress Angie have had to do in a story centered on the golden age of Hollywoo… oh… wait…

Cartinelli had so much chemistry that Angie was written out from season 2, for other Peggy ships to have a chance.

The thing that gets me, is even if she were hypothetically secretly queer - it would mean she was deep in the closet, which would make gaylor fandom efforts to out her WAY WORSE than if they’re wrong and just projecting queerness onto a straight woman.

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

By contrast, Dormer’s version in the Tudors is the only one that I’ve seen that portrays Anne as she actually appears in the historical record: A savvy, charming, erudite, reformist, freakishly intelligent court player who could go toe-to-toe with the likes of Wolsey, Cromwell and even Henry himself, but also a lonely, isolated, stressed queen, trapped in a situation she simply couldn’t control.

Let’s give credit where credit is due - we have the best moon in the system. Not counting binary dwarf planets (I.e. Pluto and Charon), she’s by far the largest moon relative to the size of her planet, which could be a necessary factor for the evolution of complex life since she takes so many meteor hits for us.

You want a third place. Which is to say a non-capital-driven community space.

I am largely within the commentators here, but as a Jew of Polish ancestry that last one made me really uncomfortable.

Imagine being such a pathetic incel loser you are being roasted in multiple languages.

A consequence of true universal basic income that supports not just basic survival, but human dignity, so that as no one is driven to physically undesirable but socially necessary jobs out of desperation is that they’d have to be paid based on their necessity. Custodial work, food retail, farm labor, all those things labeled “essential workers” during Covid lockdown, would have to become many of the best compensated jobs based on how essential they are.

I just think people who clean public spaces should make no less than $100,000 a year

I’m going to be honest here. I cannot for the life of me tell if the tweeter thinks Darren Criss is good and outdoing the originals, or so bad he ruins the song forever. This could literally be read either way

JK Rowling has used her billionaire legal team to silence a Jewish woman for telling the truth about her contempt for trans victims of the Holocaust.

Scotland’s network of “freedom of speech” organisations, as per usual, have nothing to say about the use of wealth to gag critics of the wealthy.

However fast they race to condemn the LGBT+ community for saying the names of those who harm us. Statements at the ready to insist that transphobes no one wants to work with anymore must be given every possible opportunity to gain from their bigotry.

But it's not the billionaires who are being silenced, as our media breathlessly echo their every hateful proclamation.

It's journalists and activists forced to publicly humiliate themselves under the weight and the threat of billionaire legal teams or be driven into destitution.

We deserve better. Freedom of speech needs to mean something

I get it may have been the right commercial decision - but from a purely artistic standpoint I will always be a little sand the Sandman Netflix series isn’t period set in the late 80s and early 90s, with the Endless styled directly on the rockers they’re based on, and that music making up the show’s soundtrack.
