Astro Doughnuts here in DC makes a pretty good doughnut.

So true. Abstinence-only approaches to princess culture are doomed to fail.

Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.

Just another lesson in how capitalist enterprises can never truly be feminist ones. In the war between do right by women/employees and make money, make money always wins. 

Can we please not promote anything related to Mama June? This woman’s boyfriend went to jail for raping her daughter, and when he got out she decided to date him again. We do not need to help her get paid by TLC by giving her more attention.

We’re looking through it through the rose-tinted glasses of nostalgia now, but it’s worth pointing out that Coke ad had LOTS of detractors at the time, for many of the same reasons: the corporatization of a counter culture movement where self-sufficiency and being in touch with nature were key themes. Putting bottles…

Cops in ball hats and t-shirts, none the less. None of the storm-trooper looking, riot-geared out, militarized police that actually show up to most protests.

It failed because this kind of ad proposes unity and camaraderie between two groups. This made sense with anti-war sentiment with Hilltop. It doesn’t make sense now. Protestors don’t want camaraderie with police, to make up and leave each other be. They want justice.

I’ll ungrey this because it’s right on many levels, and because I’m curious if your reaction to this part of the article

I agree. We to need to nomar about this.

Cosign on the general principle of upholding the bonds of society.

I feel like a series about Kathleen Hanna, her music and the riot grrrl movement would be way more interesting than putting this capitalist hipster on a pedestal.

Does anyone else find the practice of flipping clothing to be kind of gross and also maybe unethical? I have a few friends who’ve done this part time or professionally, and it’s just not something I could ever get behind. Maybe people are just using Goodwill and other thrift stores as dumps for their unwanted…

It’s both the American Way and the American Dream in action. Find a need, fill it, get money.

UGH WHY

He has a bazillion dollars. This is basically the highest honor our world has in celebrating the art of words. It’s not about the distance.

Right? I’m at the place where I would much rather deal with someone who tries too hard because they actually care about what they are doing and what people think and how people feel. I’m definitely over the whole “I’m too cool to try” thing. Although that might just be my middle age talking.

I’m cautiously excited for this.

Is it petty of me to feel so much schaudenfreude over Ghost in the Shell bombing so bad?
