She is definitely cosmic brain David Brooks.

No one is saying you have to be dirt poor to understand struggle. But McCardle is a disgusting monster who blames those in institutionalized poverty for their own situation and is flashing her own struggle as equitable. Thus, “If I could do it, so could you.” Which is completely insane when you’re talking about people…

McArdle is so tone deaf that she makes David Brooks look like Arturo Toscanini.

To be clear: during my years as a BP agent, I was complicit in perpetuating institutional violence and flawed, deadly policy. My book is about acknowledging that, it’s about thinking through the ways we normalize violence and dehumanize migrants as individuals and as a society.

NYT/WaPo editorial boards have all the political spectrums covered: you have your choice of centrist pro-Israel technocrats, to rightist pro-Israel technocrats!

My favorite part about McCardle isn’t her failing upward ability but the fact that she seems to hate the man she’s married to (or is hated by?) and openly puts it in her stuff as “for example.”

That said, the local university (state run) has a clothing closet, student cupboard (for “food insecure” students) and assists…

I really want to know: what’s your point?

Eh, while I fully expect Bruschi and the Pats to have mocked away anyway, Freddie Mitchell talked enormous piles of shit leading up to that Super Bowl (like, more shit than that guy ate) and then didn’t show up for the actual game, so I’m guessing Tedy may well have been looking for an opportunity to mock.

Amherst is Flyover Country.

yup. all Koreans are villains.

Anyone else stuck in this weird spot where you’re generally happy/hopeful about the direction your own life specifically is headed, but the state of the world and the direction its heading constantly drags you down, so you want to just completely ignore and shut out the news, but you feel an obligation to keep…

Every state turns into rural Mississippi once you get twenty minutes outside of the nearest city. I’ve seen people flying the confederate treason flag from their rusty trailers in upstate New York.

Oh absolutely. I have in-laws in Maine. Once you can no longer smell the ocean, you’re in fucking Arkansas.

Thanks for the reply, I was commenting on ACA, as that’s what Harris was discussing with Kinja.

While I do believe it was flawed, I found it to be vastly superior to ACHA.

I’ve noticed more and more people using “shit” as an adjective instead of a noun, i.e., “this is shit pizza.” This is fucking stupid and wrong. How do I know that this person isn’t actually eating shit pizza? The phrase should be, “this is shitty pizza.” Why are people doing this? People need to stop doing this.

They misused his character there. Blade 2 sucks

Hey, there were some Asians around that table, too! Don’t leave us out of the shadow government!

I never really thought of the racial context of Blade before, but you just really put it into focus for me. Holy shit.

Its’s ok when you ask someone where they’re from. It’s not ok when you follow up with “no, but where are you from........”
