My damn nerves are frayed with this Mueller Report business. While a heavily redacted version of the report has finally been released to the media, and that fucko Bill Barr has given his own gloss on what it all means, we won’t really be able to get our arms around it for hours and hours, maybe not for days. So we all need to just take a deep breath and not jump to any crazy conclusions.

This is interesting: the young actress playing Judith Grimes on The Walking Dead is being paid more next season than Andrew Lincoln made in season 6. By the way, we finally have our answer as to how the zombie apocalypse on The Walking Dead began.
The Magicians knows you’re upset about that death, and it’s complicated. But also, no, that character is not returning next season.
Keep feeling better, Alex!
A tribute to Colin Robinson, my new favorite character on any show.
Amazon and Google have finally agreed to play nice and allow each other’s platforms on each other’s devices.
And the joke-theft case against Conan goes to trial on May 28. The facts aren’t great for the Conan writers.
This is just a depressing story about how Fox News has ruined families.
BREAKING NEWS: Ted Cruz is the (almost) fucking worst. Fortunately for him we still have President Individual 1, Bill Barr and Mitch McConnell that prevent him from taking that top spot.
The WGA has officially sued the top four talent agencies.
