making GBS threads on like the 2 most popular women in the country for incredibly dumb reasons doesn't strike me as an appealing argument to normie americans.

kind of starting to think trump and biden should not be president but gee what do i know

look, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. we need to support the lesser evil by voting for Trump and Biden to be president.

I'm trying to figure out what book that yellow one is, above Maus and starting with a G. The closest match I can find is Grown by Tiffany Jackson. There's not many books on the Florida challenge lists that start with G and have recent editions with yellow covers, but the piece of the cover art we can see doesn't match the cover art for Grown I'm seeing in image searches.

it’s Gender Queer, newish comic book about gender that immediately became one of the most challenged books in the country

I like how he still has his signature cosplay as a tough paramilitary guy, like how Tymoshenko had her signature braid or Yanukovych's signature gaffes about who/what is and isn't from Ukraine

there is one thing of his I'll genuinely go to bat for: Sports Night

the flurry of high-energy, snappy dialogue, full of people acting incredibly smart at each other, works very, VERY well in the context of "this is some knockoff ESPN channel being watched by like a hundred people." the intense drama of fighting over very, very low stakes makes for a great underlying sense of comedy to the whole thing, and actually makes the jokes pop!

unfortunately then he got to do what he wanted, in the West Wing, and that basically ruined him

I actually do kinda like The Social Network just because that’s one where you’re supposed to hate all of the characters

Also helps that Fincher directed it so it actually looks like a movie.

yeah i haven't seen anything Sorkin directed himself but i have to imagine it's abysmal, a writer that smug and self-obsessed should not direct his own material

the only things Sorkin has directed are his awful Chicago 7 and I Love Lucy movies

the walk and talk was created by Thommy Schlamme

he also did that poker movie with Jessica Chastain.

nah, I prefer the nyp, bc it doesn't hide its bigotry behind verbose op-eds but comes right out & shows you.

I trust that sort of media far more than the wapo/nyt soft-pedaled bigtory.

the New York Post also occasionally has banger headlines, like when Don Lemon got fired and they did "CNN Sours on Lemon", to say nothing of the classic "Headless Body Found in Topless Bar"
