Emily St. James

Despite having the same last name, David Byrne and Rose Byrne are not father and daughter, as you might assume. They are, instead, best friends.

Trans Porn Is Booming. Trans Rights Are Fading We asked trans adult creators about the complicated link between desire and politics, as trans porn is booming while rights fade.

Interesting interview in Playboy with transgender adult content creators. People often point to Pornhub stats showing trans content is more popular than ever as a contradiction, as if political and sexual objectification were ever mutually exclusive

Abigail WOULD get written out of the show for running afoul of Joss Whedon......

People think Erica is the authorial self-insert, but it's actually Known Cool Adult with Good Politics Helen.

I'm so relieved that when _my_ kid's a teen or twentysomething, she's going to be, like, "Thank GOD my mom's one of the cool ones!"

One of my most firmly held beliefs is that if they just got to know me, most teens and twentysomethings would think I was pretty cool!!!

Yeah, that's why the thing I'm proposing won't happen. The shows that actually try this tend to flop.

The boys are in love!!

DRAMATIC MUSIC swells majestically, as the door slides open to reveal...

HOLY SHIT, it's PROFESSOR MAXIMILIAN ARTURO. He's HERE. He's BACK. But just in case our younger audience doesn't know that yet...

ARTURO
Hello, it's me. I'm Sliders.

I say this, and also, Hollywood should let me reboot Sliders.

I liked that approach, and I thought it was a pretty fun show.

Even setting aside class -- which I agree is a more interesting arena for story -- you could have done a "culture clash" type story around Freddie's generation's more progressive attitudes toward a host of issues, which would drive Frasier nuts, etc., but ONLY if the pov character is Freddie!

It was what season 9 wanted to be for sure, but not enough time had passed for the younger generation to truly age into the older one, so it ended up in a weird halfway space.

The problem with nostalgia is by not releasing its grip on the past, it warps the past beyond recognition. Which can be fun in small doses but creates a culture of death worship if you overindulge.

I assume it will happen.

Both Frasier and Scrubs have inter-generational conflict and questions about what young and old can learn from each other somewhere very close to their cores, and when you shift that so the p.o.v. characters are the older generation, you inherently lose some of the juice.

A random thought about the Scrubs reboot (which I am enjoying): Like the Frasier reboot, I would have loved a version where J.D., Turk, and Elliot really WERE the Cox and Kelso to a new generation of p.o.v. youngsters. I get why this will never happen, but I'd love to see it anyway.

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

It's always interesting to me how many people use March Madness specifically to vote for ultra-long filmographies, as opposed to weird, short guys.

Kristi Noem won’t see you making your jokes, but your problematic uncle who can’t maintain his household and has a dog that died under shady circumstances will

I haven't!! I mostly watch the Peanuts things my kid wants to watch, which is lately the movie over and over.

Reds ROCKS

Here's who we're bringing over to East Peanuts:
--Pigpen
--Franklin
--Marcie (NOT Peppermint Patty, though she gets a touching farewell arc)
--Eudora
--Snoopy's one chubby brother
--Miss Othmar (recast as clarinet)
--Sally

I remember that! They should have just said in an offhand line of dialogue that the other kids' school collapsed, and only PP, Marcie, and Franklin survived.

Yes, I normally vote for the lower seed in the first round.
Yes, Tarkovsky is a cinematic master.
Yes, Beatty made Rules Don't Apply.

But GET. ME. TRACY. Warren Beatty forever!!!!!

People keep arguing versions of this, and while I understand it, within the comic strip and TV specials produced while Schulz was alive, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Franklin all demonstrably attend a different school.

Release the different school cut!!

*pushing glasses up on nose*

Am I to believe that between the run of the Peanuts comic strip from 1950 to 2000 and the release of The Peanuts Movie in 2015, two neighboring school districts would have been consolidated in some sort of cost-saving measure amid a period of government austerity?

And I'm a DUMB BLONDE like this is a 1980s sitcom.

You somehow just get drier.
