I'll put the kettle on (again)

I am so confused by this entire argument. Aren’t social media posts, selfies, and other visibility-increasing things GOOD for a grass-roots movement? Wouldn’t you want protesters to post supportive messages, selfies, and other info about the protest on social media in order to encourage others to join? Or to act as a

Look, I don’t do selfies, and I regularly mock selfie takers, and I’ve taken funny pictures of people I don’t know taking selfies in absurd situations, so I get it. I do. But at the same time, I also think getting hung up on women taking selfies at the march is fucking ridiculous. I want the selfie idiots to come to

I particularly enjoyed Chrissy Teigen’s live coverage of the event.

I’m so mixed on the new edge mustang. One day it looks amazing, the next I think it’s shit.

I like to soak walnuts or pecans in warm water and roast them just a bit as a non typical potato topping. I’ve also used medjool date spread.

I am over my limit at the NY Times (its been a busy month) Do you have a citation that is not from there? I’m not questioning the facts, I’m just looking for somewhere to read them that’s not behind a paywall... The Globe and WaPo, where I have subscriptions, don’t have anything so far...

I’d say the 2008, then the 2019, and the 2001. In that order.

Most people only stay at the surface. But my question to you is: who cares? Also, if there was some kind of test to determine who got to participate in these marches, so that only the real activists go to do it, the ones “doing the work”, how big would the march be? What impact would it have if a small crowd gathered

Someone on here yesterday surmised a theory that his actual shitty health could be spun to the doctor as a “national security concern”. I saw that as entirely plausible, and I hate it because this administration is turning me into a paranoid conspiracy obsessed wacko.

I grew up going to demonstrations and marches downtown, and this was by far the most crowded I’ve seen the Pershing Square-to-City Hall route. (I come from a long line of rabble-rousers.)

Are you for real going to skip the march bc of internet narcissists? Social media whoring doesn’t make this cause (or any other cause) any less important.

If it makes you feel better, my mom is engaged for the first time in her life (62 years old), and my father (73) was a life-long Republican (states’-righter) who, after my years of decrying W and the Iraq War, now quietly watches the TV and looks at Oprah and says “I hope she votes Democrat”. The bald-faced corruption

this is a bad take....

I think there’s a balance- I think if the marches can at least get women like that to vote the right way, that’s something. I know my local march was filled with people from the ACLU and Planned Parenthood walking around with clipboards and getting people registered to vote or registered to get their newsletters.

So, anyone excited for those Fake News Awards which are totally happening and not the insane ramblings of an egotist 5 seconds away from a caffeine and Bovine Growth Hormone induced heart attack?

I’m going and I don’t have any social media accounts. I did GOTV in November, too. Protests drove Nixon crazy and Trump is obsessed with being liked, so I’m going because I think it’ll piss him off if there’s a big turnout.

I get where you’re coming from, but please recognize that the ones you see in your social media feeds are not the only people doing the march. There are plenty out there doing the grunt work for this march—you just don’t see them because they aren’t posting about it all the time!

Sure! I use a variation of Ruled.me’s recipe

Sean Burdick, would you share the full recipe, please? Sounds great, and I’d rather use cauliflower than pasta!
