I’m not, I said it seems which is my perception of what she said (with her own agency) and how I heard it.  To me it seems forced.  Maybe less Stockholm and more if I do not play nice, I do not get interviews, my career does not advance. At least that is my perception of what she said and how I am interpreting it.

Yeah, this has a distinctly non-consensual feel to it. She is literally there as a requirement of her job. Kudos to her (i guess?) for being a good sport about it but it feels real yucky to watch the video of enormous men wearing face covering goggles drenching a single, totally unprotected woman with alcohol.

It’s absolutely degrading behavior. Teenager mob mentality.

I actually mean it, too. I worked in the public for years in customer/client facing roles, handling some truly difficult situations and angry people on a regular basis for many years. Because of this, I’ve had clients and customers open up and trust me with things that were completely unexpected— I recall one banking c…

Are you a ghost?

I’m just happy that some customers can take the time to crack a joke, even if it’s bad, common or oft-repeated, rather than than complain or show no personality of any kind.

I wouldn’t have felt that way about, say, Cruz or Rubio, despite how disgusting they are.

A lot of under 50, non-college educated, (mostly) white males voted for him.

I couldn’t sleep on the night he was elected. It was one of the worst night’s sleeps I’ve ever gotten. I wouldn’t have felt that way about, say, Cruz or Rubio, despite how disgusting they are. Trump’s election spoke in a singular manner on how broken and fucked up our country and its political systems are. It’s deeply…

Reading this, I felt not schadenfreude, not anger, but... sadness. Not for Trump, of course—no, fuck him and his minions with a hydraulic press, and then fire the pulpy leftovers into the sun—but for the country. There are so many profoundly stupid people in this country who have blindly followed him up to now and…

I find myself thinking that President Trump is not merely one of the worst people his generation produced, but the embodiment of the collective id of that generation. Thin-skinned, venal, looking for someone else to blame and so very, very scared of changes.

Out! Out! Damn College Admissions Scandal!

May I point out that Goofy is a dog, but he has a dog, Pluto.

I read it the same way too, that her dog is her bestie and she likes hanging out with her dog’s bestie too. 

touching on Apple’s “simple life” in Los Angeles of hanging out with her best friend, her dog, and her best friend’s dog.

It’s very simple. Politicians who aren’t senile pivot smoothly, they pivot once, and they pivot from the start. They “whatabout” it out of the gate; “that’s a great question, but what the real problem is...” and off they go. They literally answer a question that wasn’t asked as if they were answering the original…

“To defeat a Doddering Old Mummy with a Skull Full of Dumpster Juice, you must send another Doddering Old Mummy with a Skull Full of Dumpster Juice”

in much the same way that the Packers/Bears season opener was exactly what the NFL deserved, the Biden-Trump debates are exactly what this country deserves

I’m not sure I’d want to see Intergluteal Cleft opening for anyone.
