It was double-awesome as in one move she got to channel both Leia and Liz Lemon.

I loved seeing these signs out there. I think a good point to make re: potentially trivializing an important moment with too much pop-culture is that these posters also memorialized Carrie Fisher, an unabashedly outspoken woman.

"Marty Stu"

I mean, that's literally their active strategy. And apparently 40% of the country falls for it, or pretends to fall for it for their own personal gain (<— I've decided to actively remember that behind the "desperate working-class white voters" narrative are also a lot of well-to-do people who just wanted their taxes…

"As for Rubio, it doesn't make sense for him to oppose Tillerson if McCain & Graham won't, the votes aren't there."

Magic!

Well, I'm assuming there has to be some sort of opposition party. If we are to dream this dream world, however, I would imagine it such that moderate Republicans would vote for a Hillary or a Bloomberg who would be running against a Warren or a Bernie, with anti-science, anti-intellectuals left out in the cold.

I agree, but one thing that I feel like is being left out of the larger narrative is that it would also be swell if moderate Republicans took their party back. I don't know how to find the moderate Republicans, or if they still exist, or if they have all become Democrats or Independents (lookin' at you, Mike…

Well, that's what the lying media want you to believe. The Trump administration, on the other hand, has an alternative Lincoln. ::insert image of Lincoln in stovepip MAGA hat::

Not NYC, but I'll be out there.

This wasn't for them. It was a pep rally for people who already want to resist. And if anyone here had bothered to watch, they'd have seen that it wasn't just celebrities. The celebrities mostly just introduced the real speakers, like union leaders (remember unions, working class America?) and the head of NAACP.

That's definitely the album I listened to on repeat Nov. 9th.

My three-year-old son loves My Little Pony so I've been wondering that myself. I'm relieved that we could settle this pressing question once and for all on this authoritative forum.

I watched the whole Joe Biden Medal of Freedom event, and it was just so surreal to watch these two men making inside jokes about who should quote which Irish poet in his speech while knowing that they will be replaced with a sixth-grade Twitter bully. Sigh.

This guide by former congressional staffers has been floating around: https://www.indivisibleguid…

In her honor, I will go outside and beat the crap out of some snowmen.

I certainly think one can unaggressively, unobstrusively check another person out. But this very shot in this very movie is pretty much the poster child for the male gaze and the sexist culture that produced it. I do think that more recently TV shows/movies have started to move beyond the male gaze to the…

Re: your Addendum. I think this is why some people are upset. Granted the headline is super clickbaity, and probably should have been different. However, it seems like the default reaction for many here was NOT to look into the issue by clicking the link in the article, independently Googlin', etc., but to do a…

Sorry, from your comment history you seem like a perfectly cromulent poster on this site, but I've also interacted with Cerusee on other comment threads and I know that she is also a perfectly cromulent user of this site. That's why I described it as a weird perfect storm of crazy, since it seems like it's making…

There is a weird perfect storm of crazy going on on this thread. I'm sorry you got caught up in it.
