Interested to see how the hype machine dills with his loss.

I think most of us thought this was the inevitability, with the giant asterisk that also anything could happen because Gall was relatively untested and Sage isn’t actually a can (just a young fighter with a lot of development work to do who super needs to shake up his training). Smartly executed win on Gall’s part, in…

You’re way oversimplifying a really complex issue. People are against or for the death penalty to varying degrees and for different reasons. My objections to the death penalty are less of a blunt moral horror and more a specific ethical and practical objection to how unfairly it’s been applied, specifically how it’s…

Uh, does this strike anyone as askew? Etsy is not a fast-fashion retailer — if anything, isn’t it sort of the opposite?

But what if I want to HAVE IT ALL! Angelica, Eliza, and Baby!

Yeah, I wasn’t really counting summer snow in the mountains. I guess I take it for granted that anything can happen in the hills. ;)

Ha, I should have been more specific, I’ve never had it in my corner of the state while I’ve lived here, but I sure believe it. I’ve been in some very wintry July conditions.

I live in WY and you are wrong. Winter arrives whenever it goddamn well pleases, up to and including summer months if the mood strikes (July is the only month where I haven’t seen snow).

Thanks for jumping in with your perspective — obviously you have insight on this issue that few of us do, and your observations are definitely on point.

The problem is, in a lot of this country, guns are extremely normalized. I live in a very pro-gun state. Kids knowing about, talking about, watching videos about guns is like every day par for the course.

Then why set the story (and the “gotcha” message) in a school, a space where parents are largely absent?

You know....I don’t think I love this. Who is this aimed toward — teachers? Do we think teachers don’t try to intervene with troubled kids? Students? There were students interacting with this kid, and anyway, asking students to police the behavior of “creepy loner weirdos” is how you get bullying. (And I mean, say you…

Mickey Gall: “I’M GONNA BREAK SAGE’S BONES.”

Literally the biggest downer in Harry Potter movie history — and yes I’m including all the book 7 material because at least I knew that was coming and could prepare myself. I don’t know what Colin Farrell has done to turn himself around from the weird sleazy brink he was living on, but he has totally boomeranged…

Wait wait wait, are people forgetting the Maeve (Medb) who waaaay predates Mab from Shakespeare? Medb was an Irish queen who essentially started a war out of spite to prove she was equal to her husband; the war was over a prize bull that she wanted. It’s one of the most famous Irish myth cycles, and involves…

Holy crap dude, that’s not whiteface, that’s MILK. That’s what you pour in your eyes to counteract the burning when you get tear gassed or maced.

You have no idea how hard I’m resisting just spamming you with names of Baltimore associated people and fun historic facts e.g. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THAT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS ABOUT BALTIMORE...etc. I feel like I’ve been training my whole life for this.

I love this story so much I’m not even going to correct your spelling of Bawlmer. ;)

Baltimore should be on your list for many reasons, but this is a good one! Spend some time there and you’ll suddenly understand much more about how he came to be. Remember, Bmore produced Frank Zappa too.

Fair enough, though I myself first saw this being shared by No DAPL advocates without needing it to be a response to someone saying “but REALLY?” I’m just tired of the “well there MUST be two sides to this SURELY the tribe was being unreasonable” responses. So much of it is documented now, you know?
