Hmm... Maybe it's just mobile in general? Very annoying. It's also been randomly refreshing for no particular reason. :-(

Ugh, so frustrating! I just got a new iPad because the last one was on its way out (and kinja being a jerk was actually the last straw). Hoping that there's a fix coming.

I know this is not on topic, and I'm really really sorry. But is anyone else noticing Jez/kinja crashing on iPad? I don't use a regular computer and I don't know who to contact. I just want to comment, gosh darnit! Hoping this works before it crashes again.

I think we can agree that we all need a little more Poussey not only in prison but pretty much everywhere :-) (I legit mean Samira Wiley. She's fantastic.)

Should he have been more aware of his role, the power imbalance, the utter boneheadedness of cheating and taking advantage of his position? Absolutely! I just feel like the American obsession with what's going on in other people's sex lives is weird, and not nearly as important as the continuation of governing rather…

Yeah, it was definitely not okay. Lying also really not okay. I just wished we lived in a culture where people weren't so obsessed with other people's sex lives (and where women aren't automatically blamed for everything).

Exactly. I'm not saying an affair isn't a big deal for the married couple, but to basically halt the normal functions of government over sexual indiscretions? To make an affair a matter of state? It's absolutely bonkers! The FBI really shouldn't spend that much time investigation people's private business.

Oh god... Well it's all fucked.

All I did was state a personal opinion. *I* don't really like the word bitch because *I* think it brings up a lot of gender-based baggage. I'm not playing any "card" other than my individual opinion. I don't think we need gendered insults to describe horrible people. Horrible people are horrible.

Sometimes the world seems like a terrible place. :-(

I don't know what you mean, here.

That is really sad, and as I said above, I feel really naive. I'm pretty sure I want the world to be a better place than it is.

Ugh, now I feel naive as well as grossed out. Shoot.

Ugh. Still makes me sad. I guess I'm lucky that I haven't been desensitized to it.

Oh I get that, but the difference between panic and urgency is so important! *caring way too much about county executive at the moment*

Playlist to have sex to:

Oh god me too!

I haven't read Anjelica Huston's book, but I feel like she had to have been horrified by Polanski's actions. I mean, I would have been horribly disgusted to have ever been in the same room with him.

Yeah, I live in a super liberal state, and all of my non-wonk friends and friends who are dem campaign staff keep tweeting (or whatever) how great the liberal turnout is (we started early voting today). But I want to tell them no! Don't make it seem like a sweep or a foregone conclusion! Because then some people…

... I'm pretty sure that those of us who regularly comment on Jez would like racist people to not only shut up but figure out why and how they are, and how to stop, being racist.
