Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.

Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

High potentioal breaks a ratings record.

I don't particularly care about Kirby all that much but it's funny that he and Sonic seemingly teamed up to clown on Mario for this year's new mascot kart racers.

Mayor Quimby: We will now hear suggestions for the $350 million renovation plan.

Lisa: Don't you mean $200 million renovation plan?

Quimby: Of course. How silly of me. Excuse me.

Sometimes people ask me where the name Madelyn came from and the truth is that it's a name that came to me and i fixated on long, LONG before I even knew I was trans, and for no reason in particular. I just liked it. But lately I've been telling people it came from Cybill Shepard in Moonlighting.

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some
There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

He knows what's coming next year and he sure as shit is more afraid of AOC-types than anybody else.

Trump: AOC is talking about having rebellions, she's not the leader, who the hell wants to go into her door anyway, she never took a course on the environment. The only thing wrong with midterms is a President gets elected, and for some reason, you lose the midterms.

I don’t understand why anyone’s debating this — a Nazi tattoo is a non starter, full stop.

This is a race for a U.S. Senate seat. The bar for candidates to clear doesn’t have to be insanely high, but it should at least be off the ground

The My So-Called Life cast was chock full of tremendously talented actors, several of whom continue to work steadily 30 years later (and one is a countess???), but the one Hollywood truly latched onto was the hot guy who could only sort of act. Which has never happened before, of course!!

i actually don’t think the “average” american millennial man had a nazi phase. it’s not some boys will be boys shit. this makes me side eye you and your friend group, sounds like a personal problem

The average American millennial man has been a neocon, a pacifist, a liberal, a libertarian, a communist, a nazi, and I believe now most of us are back around to liberal again. This isn't a defense of platner it's just weird how normal this shit is for guys that age.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

What kills me about Platner Nazi tattoo thing is that it's literally the same skull from the "are we the baddies?" sketch, which aired a year before he got that tattoo.

Sorry, but “history” proves mass nonviolent community protests NEVER work. The ONLY thing that can bring people together is reading my miserable posts. Smiling people hugging in the sunshine accomplishes NOTHING. Reading my punishing content, indoors and alone, is the only path forward.
