Well, I think it could be argued that a class war is being waged against the middle and especially working class, or that at least we’re being squeezed tighter and tighter.

I’m rather proud of the fact that even the fundamentalist, anti-gay, anti-welfare welfare collectors in my bloodline are going “Shit, this guy? Seriously? This was the best we could come up with?

50%+ of my family are Republican. When I posted on Facebook that I question the judgment of anyone who actually believes Trump is qualified to be President, the only person who argued with me was the ex-brother-in-law who regularly posts memes that were debunked by Snopes two years previously.

One night I was ranting on Facebook about “going through so many goddamn pitchers.” My mother thought I was talking about pitchers of beer and told me to stop drinking and go to bed before I got alcohol poisoning.

Speaking of Grease, you guys...

I’ve spent about 80% of the games since July 14 saying “What the fuck, guys? WHAT THE FUCK?” So has Bochy, I imagine.

I was all “a black pitcher who’s not Dominican?* That’s a unicorn regardless of her gender!”

I’m a Giants fan and I choked when they said “first place Giants.” Which was probably true when they filmed that ep. :(

That’s a sports trope regardless of the characters’ gender.

Even after I looked Balaban up on IMDB, I couldn’t figure out where I recognized him from. But he’s got real screen presence.

I only caught part of it, but one of the Giants’ radio announcers was talking a few weeks ago about a pitcher who threw so many screwballs his hand went wonky. With that being her secret weapon, I imagine it would happen to her pretty quickly.

I’ve been putting off reading this until I got to watch it. I’m a baseball nut, liked it, and wondered how it would watch to non-baseball fans.

Superhero movies/TV shows generally bore the crap out of me for reasons I’ve never put my finger on. Even the “good ones” I’ve been known to fall asleep while watching. The only exceptions have been the X-Men series and Jessica Jones, which I’ve noted are both Marvel.

My dad tried to help his hoarder sister but she wasn’t having it. Even if he could prove she was a danger to herself to get her committed, he wasn’t going to. Some people just won’t be helped. :(

My father barely survived polio in the late 40s and I grew up listening to my grandma wax over the trauma of almost losing her son, his stories about being in the hospital for months, my mother talking about how lucky we are to have a vaccine for it now (and my uncles bitching about how Grandma spoiled the shit out of…

Did they take it back?

I don’t rub raw chicken on my legs.

I’m way more bothered by mowing in flip flops than anything else here. Aren’t you scared of taking a toe off?

Medieval English people were pretty much all named Anne, Jane, Mary, Catherine, Richard, Henry, and Edward. It’s really hard to keep track when reading Sharon Kay Penman.

Exactly. That fucking asshole.
