wouldn't have been the first time flowery language has been used to protect private health insurance in california. the first political consulting firms helped defeat similar ideas in the 1930s/1940s

A third of the replies to that are supportive, another third comment that it doesn't do anything but make things inconvenient for workers, then the last third are people pointing out that the store already sells NASA shirts for girls.

The tick tock is for the unpaid overtime the minimum wage workers were forced to work because some crazy person went around intentionally loving up the store.

Broadway is the Marvel Cinematic Universe of theatre. Cinema is also dead.

Broad City, not content to just have the Hillary Clinton cameo, is bleeping out Trump's name as if that means something

they should focus on getting some more broads imo, they promised a whole city and instead its just two dumpy ones

i wager that harry potter references wouldn't be nearly as commonplace if jk rowling herself didn't actively encourage them
i'll do what i did with last season of broad city and power through the political cringe, because it's really funny taken as a whole. also, last i checked, ilana glazer still has hillary clinton as her instagram profile pic. i love her but she's gotta get her head out of the sand

this x1000. ignoring trump's power is exactly what not to do. it has to be confronted head-on, with a counter plan of action. but a fair amount of entertainers just think gnashing their teeth, using their platform to say "TRUMP BAD," and not doing the dirty work equals resistance. beyonce's posturing will never put her in the same category of harry belafonte, who is widely considered to be a civil rights icon

also jfc at that quote from the article. av club has devolved so much over the past year. they used to have good TV ep reviews and a decent comment section too
