I’ve found her; the “girlfriend of the founder of antifa.”

This is fantastic. The most potent weapon we have is our capacity to reveal how ridiculous these fascist gonna really are. Stay safe, no violence, and keep mocking.

One of the 20th century’s seminal talents and a personal hero.

“Fredo“ won’t do. Fredo was smarter than Eric, and he certainly had more heart. “AJ Soprano“ is a better metaphor, but doesn’t capture Eric’s dweebiness. How about “fuckblister, the zit that walks?”

Hope this goes better than the first time, when a large portion of the celebrities immediately folded when they faced criticism

The Committee for the First Amendment first launched in the 1940s, when the House Un-American Activities Committee accused Hollywood actors, directors and writers of being communists or sympathizers.

A few years ago, I was stunned to learn that nobody gets paid for Super Bowl halftime shows. I don’t understand why, but this is the deal the NFL offers everyone and most people accept.

The Fairness Doctrine is to uninformed media discourse what RICO is to uninformed legal discourse. Both are touted as cure-alls to whatever ails us in each realm.

None of those treatments suggest that Trump is acting lawlessly, which seems like a top line detail.

This is it, Hollywood; the moment of truth. After years of showing up at award shows wearing pins and ribbons, you can finally make a real difference. No new work for Disney. No new work for CBS/Paramount. Reporters, ask everyone who works for Disney/Paramount why they support Trump.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Raising the salience of this pointless nonsense now, at this time and in this place, is irresponsible and unforgivable, just as it would be irresponsible to dredge up the obvious unforced errors she made during her campaign. She lost my support.

Also Trump: they really need to get over that whole ‘comfort women’ thing. Japan is willing to let it go. Why can’t Korea do the same?

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

Nicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 28d

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Sure, but the whole reason we’re going down this rabbit hole is because side Johnson said he was an ”FBI informant.” Another issue is that the Epstein investigation wasnt initiated by an outside tip, but by a call from a victims mother.

Ray Winninger @winningerr.bsky.social · Sep 6

The biggest problem with this theory is that it was the Palm Beach Police Department that conducted the investigation into Epstein. The FBI didn't get involved until late in the game.

Treasure: “Relics” says a lot more to me than Treasure:”H” but YMMV.

Yes, I was referring to the latest MM and DMG

Ray Winninger @winningerr.bsky.social · Sep 5

It’s still present, but simplified from old school D&D’s arcane coding. Look at the top of the stat block, next to “Habitat.” The DMG explains how to use these designations to generate a treasure hoard.

If you’re talking about the animated original, I very much doubt Disney was even considering A-List stars for a voice role like that at the time. It wasn’t a question of the stars believing the work was “beneath them.”
