I'm sure some students had tried to choose Harry Potter because they had already read it and didn't want to read a whole other book.

We have really twisted notions of what censorship is when denial of an accolade is considered an instance thereof. 

One time on a train I couldn't hold it in and I shouted "Antidisestablishmentarianism!!" Everyone stared and it was so embarassing.

Huh. I was raised to say fuck when necessary but to never, ever say the actual n-word. It's not an impossible standard to maintain. I don't say it and I don't WANT to say it. Periodt.

As a middle-aged white woman, I will say that I find his voice and persona incredibly sexy and deserving of the title. He isn't hyper-masculine and muscular, but he seems like real boyfriend material. Head over heels a sexier man than Blake Shelton.

Vegan and Nazi? Well, I guess Hitler was a vegetarian after all.

I seem to recall something about cats only being able to process certain needed enzymes thought meat.

Thanks for the link. Brand new info to me! I also remember cringing watching her declare “I don’t feel no ways tired!” In a performative way at a black church. I felt that she leaned into some racial stuff vs Obama in 2008. I’m not the ultimate gatekeeper of another white woman’s proximity to blackness, of course.…

Unlike Hillary Clinton, I don't see Warren pandering and pretending to carry hot sauce in her damn purse. But she does seem very open minded and willing to hear other voices.

I would say Michael Eric Dyson, Tanahesi Coates and Cornel West. But I’m not a politician. 

NO he does not.

She wants to be Gerald Ford, maybe? But Pence hasn't Agnewed yet.

I guess the preps seemed basic to me in the 80s, and VSCO girls seem similar to me now. 

If you're not outraged, you are a person of privilege. Probably a white man.

Time to flip over some tables.

That was the best! Obama is really hard to satirize well, but they found the angle.

Warren!

Tim Ryan looked like a putz when he did that.
