I’m kinda mixed about the book shelving. On one hand, I remember seeing the special fiction sections and thinking how much it much suck to have your work just by your identity. However, there were also times when I wanted to find a book where the protagonists were gay or PoC just to have a story I could relate to a…

By the end, yes. I loved Tara in the beginning but towards the end they just had her yelling and getting indignant at something. Too bad she didn’t stay in New Orleans with her girlfriend.

Too bad this probably won’t lead to Hollywood learning that Stonewall isn’t the only event in LGBT liberation history.

Some food banks don’t like to recieved prepared or unpackaged foods. If they’re going to serve it they want to make sure to prepare it themselves (I guessed, but they never said, that it’s a matter of being certain nothing got... added in the preparation).

I do think some of this is the result of the Beltway common wisdom is that the Democrats’ big weakness is all those “identity politics” that forces them to keep a fragile coalition happy. Part of that common wisdom was that to show they were serious about compromising, a Democrat should show they’re willing to hurt…

Hmmm, I’m wondering how much a series of sting videos on crisis pregnancy centers would have the right yelling about all the ways you can tell a sting video is fake.

The calling bullshit part is key, IMO. People who want to be considered centrists or “reasonable” spend too much time acting like maybe those anti-abortion folk might have a point or a valid POV. They got the Hyde Amendment and they keep talking about federal funding for abortion (banned by the Hyde Amendment) and…

Yeah but the media keeps telling me Kasich is the Reasonable Republican in the presidential race!

A Pennsylvania man who was convicted of robbing 10 gas stations, beer distributors and convenience stores in 2012 used the old “evil twin” excuse. 34-year-old Steven Felton claimed it wasn’t he who performed the robberies, but a nefarious doppelgänger. Clearly he’d been watching way too many daytime soaps.

Well, it’s getting a repeat tomorrow. (I think.) I know I saw a repeat on the schedule.

What made that scene really funny for me was that my husband saw the glasscutting and started to talk about how they never cut that perfect circle you see in pop culture.

Add in VVolvverine and you’ll give me a flashback to every time I’ve played a superhero MMO.

People complain about sexism all the time, right? But when it comes to putting their money where their mouth is, sex still sells.

Kinda makes me want to do a knockoff game where all the women look like a zaftig funnylady and all the men are traced from the undergear catalog.

But she said that factually unsound thing so passionately which seems to be the only thing that you need to be impressive as a Republican candidate nowadays.

Years of watching Fox News, plus a tendency for the media in general to focus on personalities and gossip instead of policy, have convinced them that striking a “tough” persona is a really efffective way to accomplish things. Fox knows how to use the illusion of personality-over-substance for propaganda purposes, but…

I’m looking for the queue behind Robbie Rogers but he seems to go for super-influential TV producers.

I think part of Obama’s problem in office has been that he hasn’t been liberal enough for the lefties that voted for him with so much enthusiasm in 08.

This might help to explain why most Project Greenlight movies have been flops... flops for indie arthouse movies.

And at 5, that’s too young to believe that it was a school assignment. Mos to my letters to famous people written as a child were for school assignments (usually it was fan letters to authors but one time we were tasked to write to the President or one of our legislators abuot a current issue).
