I guess the next q for the SNL discourse is How fast will Tina Fey and Amy Poehler be running to or from microphones in the next, say, 48 hours?

Does anyone remember this movie? I remember it existed but I have never once talked to anyone about it and I have had MULTIPLE conversations about the brilliant and totally forgotten CODE 46.

Ultimately, the fact that Lorne Michaels doesn't care about EITHER take 1 or 2 is a pretty solid reflection of Lorne Michaels' sensibility at this point. Every time he does something like this, "Platformed bigots and autocrats in the name of ratings" moves up higher on his obituary. 3/2

Yeah, that shit was intense. Because they had gotten huge between the time they were booked and the time they played, right? I don’t think they played one of the giant stages at that point. They all begin to run together after a while.

[The people interviewed] "have been devastated. They mostly entered the U.S. legally, worked for several years, were … arbitrarily deprived or denied status, treated brutally, and dropped here w/ nothing." Accountability. If we want to see it on this plane of existence, we'll have to insist on it.

My English degree and spending like 40% of my time at the college radio station gave me a career that was, for a while there, quite good. I think about stuff I learned in religious studies, anthropology and cultural studies classes all the time. $$$ is not the point of education. It just isn't.

Decided to take a look at “BvS: DoJ” for the first time since I panned the hell out of it a decade ago, just to see if I was, well, wrong. Reader, I was not. What a deeply terrible movie. Also Ben Affleck is the least weird Bruce Wayne of them all. This is not a compliment.

In TV ad, Angela Paxton urges support for “Republican ticket”
The ad is funded by a super PAC that has spent well over $100 million boosting Senate GOP nominee Ken Paxton, whom Angela Paxton accused of adultery in filing for divorce last year.
