Aaron is not underrating this. It's cinema. The sly smirk when Schmitt thinks he's gotten Smith to perjure himself. The hasty vanishing of the sign. Klobuchar getting Kennedy to hold it up. Schmitt getting LOUD and ANGRY when Klobuchar points out he mixed up the Hawks and Hawkeyes.

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

If they never filed a claim…and are getting subsidized healthcare…that they are still paying for…and getting nothing from it because they never filed a claim…where is the fraud? You don’t get to pocket the subsidies. It just reduces your out of pocket expense. So what are they getting?!? What?!?

Dem politicians are listening to consultants who say “don’t promise more than you can achieve or else you’ll pay for it with voters next time” and a national restoration of abortion rights isn’t possible with Trump as president. Not sure why “fighting for your values” is not considered viable though

He said “a new administration in Iran” he’s not suggesting we have to wait until Trump’s out of office. He’s suggesting we need a regime change in Iran to accomplish Trump’s central objective, which is completely insane. There’s no appetite in the U.S. for a regime change war.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

This week's great installment of Lanterns made me realize there's a new trend in TV lately—experimental third episodes that serve as a calling card for what the season wants to do thematically www.avclub.com/lanterns-epi...

avclub.com

Third episodes are now the most experimental place on TV

It used to be that shows saved their fireworks for their penultimate episodes. But the way TV is made and watched today necessitates some earlier flash.

I am generally skeptical of boycotts. But I don't think one can overstate the degree to which J.K. Rowling has chosen to make loathing of trans people and cruelty about them into her primary identity. Nobody on earth will suffer from skipping the Harry Potter series. Let's not make her richer.
