OK. I apologize for quibbling with @tvmojoe.bsky.social and for in any way even partially defending The New York Times.
I'm leaving my posts to expose my hideous ignorance and I think I'm done here for a bit.
The headline says "Conservative Voters." I understand that it did not before. It does now. Should the NY Times add the same wording to the story? YES.
Sure. That's bad. The story should say what the story is. But to me, there's nothing wrong with the NY Times interviewing six Republicans in Texas ahead of a Republican primary. Just package it honestly, so I know not to give a fuck.
In that case, I've betrayed your trust.
Sorry.
Ah. Gotcha. Definitely doesn't say that anymore!
It isn't couched as what "Americans" think at all. They're allowed to survey Republican opinions on the man they elected president. The problem is when the presentation doesn't match the content.
Yes. We call that "Historian-Man Kibble."
OR DID HE?!?
"Homeland: The Movie — Finn's Landing," a psychological thriller in which Congressman Finn Walden is running for president, when Dana Brody returns to his life threatening to expose That Thing They Did. But is Dana working alone or is she a sleeper agent within a deeper conspiracy?
ALWAYS a valid question!
Did anybody/everybody listen to my Hip Pocket episode from LAST season? It was one of the oddest and most fun convos I've had in a loooooooooong time:
I never joke.
He borrowed that one from Ruth Gordon's Oscar speech for "Rosemary's Baby."
Thank you and it's all downhill from here, I'm afraid!
Colin Farrell or Collin Farrell?
Every potato in Maine secretly has a "Made in Idaho" tattoo.
There is a whole subset of Maine voters who are part of the "Vote Blueberry No Matter Who" movement.
A lobster. If the first two choices on the Maine ballot are unpalatable, the third-place option is ALWAYS a lobster. If the vote is split between the three, a blueberry automatically wins the election.
Maybe he TRIPLE alternates?
Is it possible that Steve Carell alternates between spelling his last name "Carell" and "Carrel"? Because that might explain why I do it.
Young Terry Gross
Thing I discovered only after watching Chris Fleming's new special and doing a little googling, but before she switched to her current long-time 'do, Young Terry Gross was a bit of a Chris Fleming doppelganger. Since Chris is a big fan, he presumably knows, right?
Or as I like to call it: A "Young Sheldon" Marathon!!!!
Page isn't a horrible comparison and you included all of the caveats I would have wanted.
Oscars aside, Page and Sidibe are/were still MOVIE stars.
Lorne hates *proven* TV stars. For a TV star to go from zero to host this fast is completely without precedent.
Fascinating. I watched the episode and the clip and it's so CLEARLY an Achilles. Baffling that the "Survivor" docs treated it like a sprained ankle when nothing in the injury or his reaction looked like that.
Also, Dalton is an old man — like us — and he should shoot in horizontal like a grownup.
I disagree, but I'm also happy when people enjoy things!
Don't worry. I knew exactly the other show you were thinking of for him.
I think I have a track record that says I've always tried to do that and I will 100% continue to. Honestly, it's one of the things I value most about my job. But I don't object to receiving an adrenaline shot of enhanced empathy now and then.
I would say Jim Gavin has significantly less demonstrable track record — only one show he actually created, however much I love that show — but... Yes. It's hard to be an esoteric voice in contemporary TV.
