Oh, so you've attended the meetings and spoken to Jones or any of the other parents with kids at PS 452 and you've come to the conclusion based on actual evidence that they're not expressing legitimate concerns and are in fact attempting to keep their kids away from black and brown people.

Yeah, and it's Hillary Clinton's fault for failing to be pure enough not to be slurred with Pizza Gate and accusations that she's a serial killer. Did you read the Jones quote? All he did was agree with others in the room and ask that people not feed tabloid coverage of a local issue. You motherfuckers are like…

Yes, those are exactly the same. Because thinly-veiled racism was behind opposition to integration at other times in other places, all opposition to any change that reduces de facto segregation is motivated by racism. QED.

Said by literally no one. Do you really not recognize a single valid alternative reason for parents to want their kids to go to school where they are already going to school and where they planned for them to go to school and where they purchased homes in large part in order to send them to school than "white and…

Yes, I'm the one being unreasonable because I'm suggesting that it's fucking insane and retarded to tell parents to sell their homes and buy new homes on the Upper West Side rather than resisting having their children shuffled around by the city.

Is this even serious? What Jones said was "Like many other parents, in the neighborhood, I don't want this to happen, and PS don't talk to the media they're going to do whatever generates the most pageviews" which is all reasonable. Jones and Bee should have to sell their home and buy a new home? Transaction costs…

His military "brilliance" is often overstated and has started to come under critical scrutiny. By the same token, Grant is finally getting a fairer shake for his grasp of strategy, which was in many ways more modern and sophisticated than any other military thinker of the era.

I spent an embarrassing amount of time after show was announced/came out arguing with people that it was actually based on historical examples, including Afghanistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia. I don't know how many times I googled before/after images of women from those countries to prove to people that, yes, religious…

Are you fucking kidding me?

I doubt they live on top of the current school, so tacking two miles onto whatever their kids' commute currently is is not nothing. It takes a grown man like 40 minutes to walk that far, which likely means that the kids are going to need to ride the subway or catch a bus in the morning (no yellow school buses for…

A dickless man would still be a person, right? So, I'm going with no.

Can you believe that of all his songs, that's the one that drew enough outrage to get him to stop performing?

So Bran and Meera know something, but no one else does yet, as far as I can tell. I'm also not clear on the rules about who can cross over, since there have been wights south of the wall. Must they be carried over by non-undead? Does the Wall's magic extend out to the ocean by Eastwatch?

I don't believe any of it was. I could believe that it will be (minus the dragon glass thing) because I recall reading that GRRM gave D&D the plot outline he'd used to pitch the series to his editor back in the beginning, and "weapon intended for defense run amok" fits very neatly into the narrative arc.

Yeah, I'm actually willing to forgive the show its desire to a silent, pristine return sequence, because it would have been clunky and awkward to have a scene where Tyrion talks the skeleton garrison Stannis left behind into opening the gates and laying down their arms between that handprint-on-the-beach and the walk…

It's been 8,000 years since the Wall was built and Westeros is actually a surprisingly rationalist society, particularly well-born Westerosi like Jon Snow and Samwell Tarly, both of whom grew up with Maesters instructing them. I can't remember if any of them made it to the screen, but in the books Martin includes…

SO MANY… DISGUSTING… ALL BEEF MEAT PATTY IN BIG MAC. IN SOVIET UNION, MAC IS RIGHT SIZE, AND PATTY MADE OF NUTRITIOUS BEETS AND SADNESS

But how will you know I'm actually fantasizing?

"Prove this author isn't lying about working on a book" lol ok
