My city almost requires having a car because we don’t have good public transit and most people can’t afford the million dollar homes and apartments in the main part of the city. When I was younger and made only 7 dollars an hour, I only got collision insurance because I literally could not spare the money for full…

“the UI is hands down one of the worst”

As a librarian I am telling you, libraries don’t want your books, even if it’s your special collection of comic books. Please get this through everyone’s head. We don’t want your used books. Sorry to break all the hearts, but it’s just the way it is.

The term ‘choose your own adventure’ has become a general name for the entire genre though, so I’m fairly sure any claim to the name would be invalid. Something in common use like that becomes indefensible as a trademark.

One of the big disappointments in the US system, for me, is this unrelenting need to find the next big hero who is going to fix everything. The It Girl or Boy of the moment who says all the right things and there’s a collective swoon - and the same is true of the Villain of the Moment. To watch it occur, over and over…

This shut downs is uhm, PREVENTING LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PARK RANGERS FROM PATROLLING THE AREA AND STOPPING THE CRIME.

Still, guess it’s not his fault for holding America hostage to get his shitty steal slats or what ever status symbol he needs to feel masculine and potent. That’s America and the democrats fault, like…

He gave his band of knuckle dragging, bro-dozing, hick followers tacit permission to do it though.

One thing I almost never hear in these discussions is that there’s non-trivial value in having numerous books around you haven’t read yet. There are many times throughout a year when I want to read something new and I don’t really know what I want to start.  So I browse through my shelves until something jumps out at…

Let’s see if I can get out of the grays. . .

The executive producer is technically in charge of the project, handling everything from budget to organization to creative direction. Each film is technically a business and the executive producer is the boss, or one of the bosses. Some executive producers are basically project managers handling stuff like catering,…

I’m mad that it’s the PTSD that convinced them she was afraid for her life and not the beating, choking, pouring hot sauce in her eyes, and cutting her with a goddamn KNIFE. Do we have to be dead to get to be afraid for our lives?????!!!! (Obviously rhetorical question)

A man can rape & kill a woman that he just saw...get 1yr in jail or no time at all.

Y’all, women who kill their abusers are heroes. They’re killing terrorists and human rights abusers, they should be celebrated.

SEE!!!!! This is what we can do when we have opportunities. Someone in a position to get a movie idea to someone who can green light that movie, is within reach of a young person of color and *BLAU*, that young talented black girl gets her movie made.

Off-topic, kind of, but I took many an Econ course in college and in an intro the professor was trying to get across the point about supply and demand, and the difference between necessity (luckily clean water is fairly abundant in most of the industrial west, and cheap) and desire (no one needs diamonds, but they’re…

It’s just so frustrating that it is assumed that all art is created by men unless there is extensive evidence otherwise. Then the fact that everybody “knows” that all art was created by men is used as a way to explain how men are just more talented than women.

I do remember another interview I did for Bridesmaids with somebody who later lost his job for a conversation he had on a bus with someone else.

The best thing about AOC is that she shows another kind of politician is possible. For decades we have been told that we only have a choice between your average evil republican and your run of the mill spineless democrat. After a lifetime eating thin gruel, we look over to the other table and see they have steak. Why…

I grew up in Minnesota so I saw first hand how ignored Native communities can be even in a place where the people are more left wing than right wing.      One reason I love Splinter is their commitment to covering stories and perspectives that don’t have a place in some of the bigger media outlets.
