I mean, fine, but the movie is exploitative and gross. That’s kind of the whole point. He’s a line-stepping murderer who finally, after years of planning, gets to take his victory lap. I was quietly chuckling during that scene. It was campy and over-the-top. I had a great time.

It’s so strange because I thought it was about freedom. The freedom to do what, I guess we’ll never know. Except where they told us. In plain text.

The Constitution of the Confederate States makes their position on slavery pretty clear. As a proud Southerner she knows that.

I grew up in Skokie and other places. We all knew Winnetka is where the rich people live.

“I got a robe.” > everything

Charles Melton is so heartbreaking good in May December. Awards are stupid but he truly was exceptional.

Judgy much? Nowhere did the article say people should eat entirely processed foods. And I don’t know about you, but a stand mixer and pasta rolling attachment (not to mention the wasted ingredients testing recipes) are a pretty expensive way to avoid buying a box of Ritz crackers for an office potluck.

People generally have incoherent and contradictory political opinions, too.

She said the dumb things about vaccines and the Harvey Weinstein victims way before he was considered to host the show. I’m very curious if this was a retaliatory choice. But as the article notes, other contestants refused to cross the picket line, so it seems especially nasty to punish her. I’m sure more information…

Ketamine for medicinal use is done in controlled settings and in low doses. Heroine is also a medical drug. I don’t think we should deny cancer patients palliative care because someone somewhere might misuse it.

Yeah, I’m leaving out a lot of stuff to remain anonymous.

When I broke up with my first boyfriend he threatened to kill himself. He used my email account* to send me an email (from “myself”) to spin some fantastical story about how he almost did it. At the time I just wanted him out of my life so I didn’t push it, but our relationship was very emotionally abusive. Emotional…

Thank you for considering my points in good faith. Here is more food for thought, far more eloquently than I can write: https://www.counterpunch.org/2023/12/08/the-greatest-number-of-jews-killed-since-the-holocaust/

Fair, but have you seen your profile pic?

Is this a bit?

This looks promising.

I taught high school history in the midwest. Rwanda and Armenia are part of the teaching standards, at least in my state.

I think she explains her point pretty well, But I’m not Zionist reading her in bad faith. I understand how it can be difficult to be in the wrong and still trying (and failing) to make the very sane protests of others seem unreasonable. Which is why Margulies said “no Jews allowed” and didn’t quote the actual sign…
