Throwing out a nazi salute at the RNC? Just fine.
Speaking at white nationalist rallies? Sure, that's okay.
Telling constant lies to further white supremacist causes? That's totally acceptable.

Making fun of a student for failing to be accepted at a school? THIS IS CLEARLY GOING TOO FAR! TIME TO PULL OUR ADS!

It's the one that elicited the most violent backlash. Advertisers only give a poo poo about money.

They didn't do this because they disagreed with Ingraham or Fox; they did it because they knew that continuing to advertise on her show would lose them more money than they would gain. I don't care; I'm just happy to see Ingraham hurt in some way.

They wholesale retconned Ben Parkers murder in spider man 3 to invent a reason for the audience to hate Sandman, they could introduce Quinn's real dad anytime

Read the book if you can, the older cartoon is spot on, but a bit odd. It doesn't really capture it.

e- In homage, Tad Williams did a really relevant Lord of the Rings type story about cats. Tailchaser's song. Don't let the name fool you, it's hardcore. (Shut up, Watership Down is about rabbits).

So Roseanne is into some 4chan conspiracy poo poo eh

Man she's gonna find some way to translate her show revivals record ratings and attention into a steaming polarizing heap at this rate. Like the number one thing conservatives and Trump supporters could do these days is just shut the gently caress up for a day or two let alone a week and maybe people start to forget about all the bullshit and focus on a robust economy instead or something.

It's the constant bleating of talking points and grievances and attacking people that makes the whole Trump presidency thoroughly exhausting to the public. A bunch of poo poo birds suddenly finding themselves caring so much about a black and white version of "politics" and this whole culture war the U.S has going on has all but effectively rendered me unable to take more than a limited dose of it anymore a week. I used to love following all the twists and turns of Washington. Not so much when it's a constant gong show of bad faith and every celebrity or personality having to get their terrible opinions in. Like at best maybe every 2-3 days otherwise it's literally just too much bullshit and crazy to take in anymore.

The fact that still just nothing is happening to address any of it or get America back on track and to some level of sense and reason is in and of itself exhausting. It's like American "political discourse" has just literally become the internet of the last decade or so that I've come to know in so many ways.

Ok willfully dense person. It's obviously implying that Black Panther is the best Marvel movie. And probably the most important culturally.

DD: Fondly regard abomination.

It's the distinction between a KKK member versus someone who doesn't consciously care about race, but is very strongly in favour of gently caress You Got Mine and feels minorities are acceptable collateral damage. They're both racist, and they're both monsters, but they're different types of racist monster and we don't really have the vocabulary to distinguish between them.

Superhero movies can either be dumb fun based on cheap pulp or pscyhotic Randian fantasies if taken seriously, thank god the former is a lot more popular.

Snyders Superman movies is portrayed as a hero of the working class and inherently critical of the rich and powerful, which is quite different from the meme that he's some sort of Randian objectivist hero that seems to have sprung up among the idiots on the internet.

If you want movies that celebrate the libertarian superhero then look no further than Iron man.
