Not quite. This time there are no Nazis to be put down, and the violence is unprovoked. This is more like Nazi Germany’s Blitzkrieg.

I’ve been reading the Kyiv Independent, which has been recommended by a number of sources as being reliable. They are on the ground, and have been reporting some things a good 24 hours before they hit the Western media, and have more details in some cases and different viewpoints.

Sadly, the level of discourse has dropped to the point where sarcasm is largely undetectable. Folks have really figured out how to weaponize stupid 

I definitely think the show has problems with giving you relatable characters to root for in S2 (and that’s a problem for me), but I don’t think the criticism here makes sense to me. The characters are supposed to be out of touch and venal, and I don’t think the show is actually suggesting these people are good role…

I’m resisting judgment, as maybe his mother was legitimately abusive and this is all Tarantino feels comfortable in sharing, but in this exchange he sure comes across as spiteful and emotionally stunted.

Oh, for heaven’s sake. By color?! Um, no.

Arranging books by colour is book arranging for people who do not read!

Eddie Izzard was positively diabolical as Grandpa Munster in Mockingbird Lane, the 2012 reboot of “The Munsters”. It was based more on reality (as much as it can be with a family of monsters) than the 60s sitcom, and was very dark. Warped, even. We loved it.

I liked Going Postal quite a bit! And whatshername from Downton Abbey did a fantastic Susan in Hogfather. Honestly, Going Postal *nailed* the clacks, and loved how they were portrayed (esp in the credits).

“Lara Rossi is undeniably charismatic as dragon-wielding terrorist Lady Sybil Ramkin”

You can’t.  It’s under a leaded sarcophagus.  You can’t get close to Reactor 4.

There were more than half a million liquidators. Twenty years after the fire 10 percent were dead and more than 20 percent were disabled. If it were a battle it would be considered a bloodbath. 

The Holodomor. The genocide few people know.

And truth be told, if that disaster hadn’t happened where it did, close enough to the iron curtain that the effects were detected by western bloc nations, they might’ve gotten away with covering the whole thing up.

oh, i’m not trying to imply that they planned to do this to Pripyat (although they wren’t exactly following all the safety protocol at the plant either.) but when it did happen and they were discussing what to do about it, i’m also not surprised ‘well, they’re just a bunch of ukrainians. we could just cut bait on the…

well, this was the same soviet government that in 1933 had orchestrated the peacetime death by starvation of about 7-12 million ukrainian peasants just to consolidate the farming system, so its not super surprising that their first response to a politically damaging deadly disaster happening to the grandchildren of…

I am very tired of reading Jezebel’s persistent mis-representation of this issue. As a Survivor Leader with Sanctuary for Families, one of the nation’s biggest gender-based violence non-profits, as someone who works day-in and day-out with survivors of trafficking, forced sex work, and other forms of gender-based…

In fact, the United States, where I live, was founded after waging a war against a king that the colonists felt was a tyrant.

You should. Many girls , especially if they are lesbians and /or butch, are pressured into becoming trans or else . I know one who transitioned at 14 and at 18 detrantitioned but her body is permanently modified , the t she took also caused her a heart condition . But she can not talk about that because she is called…

I worry about my daughter, who adults a generation ago would simply consider a “tomboy,” and how she hears / interprets the messages she’s bombarded with today that might negatively affect her perception of herself and gender.  At her age she could be easily manipulated, preyed up or confused by those with agenda’s…
