  • The problem is this: regarding Netanyahu she says “Well he is very clearly a war criminal.” Regarding Putin she says “With Russia it’s far more complicated” and “In so many words, yes.” She’s hedging out of calling Putin a war criminal directly so she can plausibly deny it. She will agree with general statements saying he could be a war criminal under those circumstances but she won’t say it directly so she can go “Oh no, Hasan called him a war criminal, I didn’t, I just agreed that if all of those things were true then he could be considered a war criminal!”













  • Every friendly interview Trump has is just him “Yeah, uh huh, right, yup”-ing is way through whatever the “”“interviewer”“” is saying, then spewing whatever stream of consciousness he has going in the background. It’s why he never answers questions - he doesn’t listen to them, and if actually pressed, he gets pissed because he has to actually try to think.

    Someone probably tried to tell him “we should change tactics” and he went “Uh huh, uh huh… WHERE’S HUNTER”







  • Did I say writing teams? Did I say actors? Did I say directors? No, I said the FINANCERS. The studio heads. The ones making the final calls about what gets made. Are there some people of color? Some women? Of course. But Executive directors and boards running studios are disproportionately populated by white men. These are the studios that keep saying “More Star Wars! All of it! More superheroes! More Transformers! Reboot reboot remake sequel reboot!”

    They can have hits (like Andor) but they are making decisions that show how little they understand their audience. Black Panther was released in February, the month studios save movies that they don’t care about for since it’s finally done with Oscar season. It was one of the biggest cultural phenomenons at the time and completely by accident.
