I agree, we need more purity tests on the left. Too long have the perfect and the good been allowed to remain allied! All or nothing, I say! When the dilettantes start joining the cause, it’s time for true believers to stay home! Why would someone *running for office* spend a day trying to increase commitment…

It was the

I think there’s a balance- I think if the marches can at least get women like that to vote the right way, that’s something. I know my local march was filled with people from the ACLU and Planned Parenthood walking around with clipboards and getting people registered to vote or registered to get their newsletters.…

Somehow my podunk hometown is 1) having a Women’s March and 2) got Gabrielle Giffords to be the headliner at it. My hometown’s previous claim to fame was that a few scenes were filmed near it for Three Kong’s, a late 90s movie with George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube. It stood in for the Iraqi desert.

My heart breaks for all of them. But I especially can’t imagine what it’s like for the oldest among them, who are legally adults, and now have to learn how to function in regular society after being traumatized for so long.

I was thirteen when Zombie came out and I wanted to cut and bleach my hair like her in the video but my mom and boyfriend talked me out of it. I’m tempted to go do it today. I loved her.

Would you like a trailer? Sure you would:

I don’t really l care about Seal or his thoughts, but I don’t want Oprah to run for president.

Eliza Dushku shared the account of what happened to her while she was filming “True Lies” at the hands of the director, Joel Kramer:

Seal, please shut the fuck up. The reason why there are so many incriminating photos of celebrities palling around with Weinstein was because he was a virus who ingratiated himself with anyone who had influence. And I find it a tad sexist that only women are being criticized with their associations with known male…

The weather is best when the dew point is over 100F.

Same in Singapore and KL. Like, you can get really delicious food in the food courts in a lot of those malls. Not as good as the food in the hawker centers in Singapore, but you can go look at ridiculously overpriced clothes afterwards, so that has to count for something, right?

It’s been an stunning voyage on the way to total nuclear annihilation.

Second wavers were fine with the erosion of abortion rights once they reached a certain age and decided their 401ks were far more important.

I really do find that idea of theirs that demanding not to get sexually harassed or worse as “self-imposed victimhood” of a negative context intolerable.

I can’t agree with this statement : “Show me a smart, competent young professional woman who is utterly derailed by a verbal unwanted sexual advance or an inappropriate comment about her appearance, and I will show you a rare spotted owl.”

Agreed. It was a very interesting character beat that the thing he was yelling while beating up the heckler wasn’t “respect my woman” or some such thing but “she’s good.” That whole sequence was incredibly well acted.

When Sophie first showed up, I wondered if they were referencing Carol Burnett, with the washer woman costume.

My boss binged the series. Which is something his lack of tech savvy renders difficult. He is a professional screenwriter of fifty years. He is also Jewish. His main comment was. “It’s so refreshing to see a series where nobody told the writer, “Tone down the Jewishness. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to do…
