Hey, where do Redpillers get their water?

The Slager trial was just declared a mistrial—there hasn't been a verdict on Slager's guilt yet. I'm not hopeful, but in the interest of strict fact, he hasn't been acquitted yet. He'll be retried in the next couple of months.

Best game ever, man.

Truly, Dikachu is the smutty carnival barker of this place, letting you peek under the tentflaps to view things unknown to man's ken.

I just instabought the ones that have Sid's mutant toys on them. I've been attempting to rehab Sid's image for years, and these will only help.

Not to mention the fact that "nasty woman" was a direct insult against Clinton, and so picking up that mantle was an act of reclamation and a repudiation of Trump. Clinton said 50% of Trump's supporters were deplorable and normal Americans rushed to apply that label to themselves, which shocked me. I would have…

People don't really do nuance well, is one thing I'm learning quite quickly. It's how we get, say, sex offender registries that are littered with sexting teenagers—"sex offender registry! Good idea! We'll figure out the precedent it sets later!" That doesn't mean it's not a good idea, but we have to work diligently on…

Exactly! And that's why people push back against jokes like this—they defer back to the "different is bad" dominant narrative we have going in our societies. It all stems from a lack of empathy, and the easiest way to build empathy is through experience. I know so many people who befriended a gay person, met their…

Oh, absolutely—astute point. We cluster up into enclaves like barnacles down here, and it's possible to clothe yourself in the armor of apparent rectitude and never have your faith in your morality and nobility shaken. It's what gives us Dixiecrats, streets named after Confederate generals, and the worst rates of…

Growing up liberal in the Deep South, this is what I would emphasize as well—people have this obsession with slippery slope arguments and a core conviction that Satan is real, and he's in your neighborhood, and he's waiting for you with various snares and traps. Some of my coworkers and contacts truly…

Sole Light of Positivity: PWR BTTM are fucking great. Listen to them.

Looks like you're a late breeze!

CROME LAUGHS AT YOUR PUNY GOD

Quality band names, quality titles, good list of influences—purchased and about to play!

Would love that, but the pull of normalcy is more appealing to the American public and their representatives than the pull of morality. See—well, see last Tuesday.

Hooray to the smart, eloquent people in my life—many of whom are in direct danger from President-Elect Trump's stated policies—who have returned to the table with amazing anger and commitment to fight for the causes they believe in and for the basic rights of individuals they'll never meet. They're fighters and I'm…

This brings me a legitimate burst of joy. Thank you.

Yeah, full-throated "FUCK THAT." I've been tracking how closely Trump's language maps to the language of abusers in the last week—and a bit during the campaign—and it's so scary to see how closely his narcissistic aggrandized follows the logic of domestic abusers. Normalizing it doesn't just hurt politics; it hurts…

I mean, they're not going to hurt.

Yeah, I've had to be very careful about what I schedule, as the temper/grief is close to the surface—nothing wrong with taking a little self-care time (especially when it helps you care for others).
