I would encourage everyone in this thread to actually read the text of the GND and then come here and tell me this is something people should be supporting. Just because AOC is cute and parrots back the shit we all say on Twitter out loud in her hearings does not make her good at legislating. It was a terrible…

I have not listened to Jagged Little Pill in a very long time, but don’t ruin it for me. What’s next on your list? Pieces of You by Jewel?

Gotta disagree hard on this one. IMO Jagged Little Pill holds up as a top 10 90s album. It’s a viscerally angry album and Alanis is SO GOOD at getting her emotions across.

Hi. Anyone willing to leave a $100 gift card is welcome to jinni’s wedding.

I’m trying to see what she did that’s so horrible, beyond calling someone at work fat and some shitty tweets she’s apologised for.

Everyone fails a purity test at some point.
Constantly purging everyone for some evermore exacting standard of ideological purity seems self-defeating and a waste of energy, badly needed…

She did dumb shit when she was 21 (or 20?!) and has perhaps...grown in the time since? And I know you acknowledge that but it’s a throwaway line in what sort of feels like a needless hitpiece? This isn’t Tucker Carlson being a racist misogynistic manbaby at 40 or whatever.

I think it’s too soon to ask, now you never know with these things, long distance relationships can work, marriages can work too if you were dating for a few months and there’s people who date for years, then live together for years, then they get married and that last months.

Have fun storming the castle!

On the other hand, it’s reassuring that someone who knows their stuff is looking out for people.

He probably just can’t understand it since the Lakers used to allow him to come into the locker room with Rick Fox. 

Throwing it out there: insurance companies do not fuck around. They will 1000% use a 7-year-old’s presence as an excuse not to pay any claim, whether it happens to the kid or not.

This is ridiculous. Kids don’t belong in locker rooms or at press conferences. Ask Steph Curry.

MacLean later clarified: “I can’t remember if I cried, when I read about his widowed bride, nothing touched me deep inside, the day Robert Traylor died.”

Who taught his lawyer how to make statements to the press?

Drunkenly forcing colleagues into my car and rubbing my junk on them was the only thing keeping me in teaching. That’s it, I’m out.

You know things are bad when my initial thought was surprise/relief that at least it wasn’t a high school student...

Well, if his own lawyer is “pretty much certain” that his client is innocent, I guess we’re done here.  Or at least I’m pretty sure we’re done.  

Then there’s this take, which is probably very accurate:

“What’s worse than rain on your wedding day?”

“Jeez, it wasn’t enough to get rid of the ones in the mist? Now you want to end the rainstorms, too?”
