Yeah, people clearly don’t want to talk about it but the far right is all up in the police and military.

You didn’t believe black people.

Spot on.

I love how a girlfriend’s highly specific and unprompted statement, corroborated by a lawyer who also represented the alleged bomb builder, that the guy was building bombs in an identified location is seen as insufficient for a warrant to search said location, but...

You just stated part of the challenge of being black in America. The second we show humanity in response to their constant dehumanizing treatment we’re stereotyped as angry, etc. So the challenge is to find ways to keep on keeping on while not letting this double standard bullshit break you. Its fucking taxing.

Thanks, I gotta check that out.

I watched that Roy Cohn documentary and really MARVELED at how responsible RC was for the DJT of today. The only tactic you left out of your post is GO ON THE ATTACK. This is Don the Con’s favorite part, he relishes the bullying and lying.

The man who taught Trump to be the way he is today.

I’ve got news for you buddy. The VFX industry is every bit as awful as the games industry, and in many ways it’s worse, and let’s face it... the movie industry wouldn’t exist without digital artists these days.

Also Animal Crossing where Nintendo delayed it because they don’t do crunch. They treat it like a 9 to 5 job as should be the standard.

Video games want so much to be like movies in every respect, except when it comes to their labor practices.

I run a book club for queer teens, and they are currently LOSING THEIR MINDS. Like. Happy tears and talking about role models and god I am *so glad* they have people like Elliot to look up to.

Gen Xers and Millennials aren’t that far apart in terms of lifestyle, but there’s an appreciable difference between us in terms of wealth. According to the numbers Gen Xers were able to start building wealth a lot younger than millennials, getting a start during the alte 90s and early 200s boom years. Millennials on…

Oldster here, tipping my hat to you. I had shit at 30. Shit at 40, too. Catching up for all I’m worth for the last decade. 

This is so true. Something has to be done about student loan debtload before it drags the entire economy further under. I say this as an older person who paid off her own loans years ago. They were miniscule by today’s standards and yet it was a bit of a challenge even then.
