They could just say “Any books strictly about the minority experience in America - particularly African Americans - are banned.”

My own picks, of course:

This. They plead and beg a woman/girl “Don’t kill you baby!!! There are ways to take care of it! We can help!”

I’m not saying don’t vote for Nader or Stein or West, but IMO we’re at a place right now where one party is actively trying to eliminate the possibility of any other party winning an election ever again, or even existing. Which includes third parties. People can vote how they want, of course, and I don’t consider any…

That’s OK. When Republicans essentially end voting for all but rich white males, they won’t have to worry about voting for someone that isn’t progressive any more.

The show is appropriately serious when it needs to be - currently watching the scene where the dad has hit rock bottom and is begging the doctor for a prescription - and goes “quirky” (which isn’t really a good word to describe it, as quirky to me means weirdly funny or something) when it needs to break something down…

Yeah, they went a bit hard on making her the character opposite of her partner. Although the scene when she made herself a pair of sandals out of the back of a notebook was hilarious to me.

Balloon Boy immediately sprang to mind and that TV interview where the mountain of lies apparently became too much for the kid and he spilled the beans.

But the subject matter of The Big Short were pretty devastating as well to people but I think it’s quirky aspects helped keep the main points of the…

Yeah, I was going to amend this with that. He’s definitely touched her.

How soon before they try to turn the general astonishment at this into an attack on progressives/liberals.

Donald Trump has never changed a diaper.

she reminded the world that DeSantis is, in fact, generally useless as a parent.

I, for one, welcome our new blow-job based economy. Although the checkout lines at the supermarket are gonna be LOOOOONG.

Oh, please. Their “letting you eat bananas from someone’s vagina” is the new “pizza party.” It’s just to distract you from the shitty pay and long hours.

Oh, no, I didn’t assume you were talking to random people, but again, for me, I leave it to them to discuss their heritage/where they’re from if THEY want to. Sometimes, even people with “accents” might not want to bring attention to it or might not want to discuss where they’re from for any number of reasons. Some…
