I don't understand people. How is it humane at all to demand that another human being stay out of public? (okay okay, unless you have an infectious disease and it's better for you to stay in until you're better again). I think you're doing good for yourself. :)

New Hampshire is the South of the North. *runs*

New Hampshire is basically the drunk racist uncle that the rest of New England pretends we don't have, yet still somehow gets an invite to Thanksgiving every year.

I'm just tickled and intrigued that you have Anime LaserDiscs on your toolbar.

Yes, there are small pockets of Christianity in the Middle East, especially in places where the Sultans/Imams or other Muslim leaders only taxed Christians and did not outright harass them. However, they stopped being influential centers of Christianity centuries ago.

Except it's obvious even to the Catholic hierarchy that Genesis is allegory. I haven't met one Catholic clergy member who would honestly tell me Adam and Eve were real people. So, I'm going to call a giant BZZT on the idea that anything of the sort is so plainly in the bible.

I think people don't understand the role of institutions - and that's to be a tempering influence. They're the parents to teenage rebellions. This doesn't mean they're always right, but rather they're there to make sure that when we rebel we do it by piercing our belly buttons instead of trying heroin. A good…

I'm going to use this Planeteer argumente. My girlfriend had two "deal breakers" that I had to stop doing before we made it legit; smoking and peeing in the shower.

I'd prefer to see a trans writer/producer guiding the production of trans stories, rather than cis women. They're both getting it close to right, but Soloway's point that a trans voice can articulate their experience better than cis voices is absolutely true. It's hard to explain gender dysphoria unless you've dealt…

"important question"

Two cis women arguing over how best to exploit trans women's narratives...

I agree there. But perhaps the answer to that is to permanently fund a writer's workshop for trans people? Or endow writing program scholarships for trans people? If she's really committed to this cause, she needs to be part of building a foundation, not just getting a handful of writers into her writing room. Because…

While I commend Soloway's dedication, I agree with Kohan here. You can bring someone qualified on in a consultant role to make sure you get the details/emotional aspect right. I mean, Shonda Rimes isn't a doctor, but she sure writes medical dramas well.

[Keselowski] was doing something with Denny. The race had ended, and he's running into cars on the cool-down lap. I mean, the race is over, and he comes down pit road and drives into the side of me. That's inexcusable. He's a champion, and he's supposed to know better.

By request of many of you, here's J.R. calling the fight.

biggest upset is that a WWE-style ambush fight happened in NASCAR and neither participant was named Busch

Remember how that guy died?

This is why I can't take NASCAR seriously. It's scripted WWE nonsense on wheels. And to think, it used to be about racing not that long ago.
