“crosses many lines, beyond a red line, many many lines, they almost crossed the plaid line, which is many many many lines past the red line. Also let’s not forget her emails.”

I can’t decide if I’m happy he seems to agree that Assad is a murderer or upset that we’re now probably closer to nuclear war.

He declared that the attack “crosses many lines, beyond a red line, many many lines.”

Jesus fucking Christ. Okay so,, I am BLASTED right now (I somehow got convinced to chug a whole fucking pitcher of Bud Light, which like why the fuck am I able to be convinced to do such a thing when im 29 years fucking old but whatever), so Iam just gonna stream of conscious this, which I feel like I am already…

“Payload: Possibly a myth? If anybody’s ever gotten on one, I haven’t heard about it.” This so much THIS!

Yep. I just rewatched the last scene. She’s thrown that he comes up to her at a signing and tries to have a ~moment~, and touched that he cared enough to write a comic about their relationship ... but I don’t think it’s meant to imply anything romantic will come of it.

This is a fairly insane reading of the movie. They OBVIOUSLY don’t get back together.

It’s interesting Clover saw it this way, because I always saw the inclusion of Alyssa’s girlfriend in the last scene as a very clear indication that Alyssa and Holden are over. They could have really loved each other, but he was a giant manbaby about her past and she doesn’t trust him to *ever* get over it, so yeah.…

DAMN

By the way, C is the only letter in YMCA that is not symmetrical, which makes it the trickiest letter of the bunch. Makes you think.

Combine this with the fact that they’re gutting mental health care, and I am seriously sitting here at my desk nearly in tears. I am getting by on the local free clinic for my mood stabilizer and antidepressant (the latter costs $2000 a month without insurance), and they have limited therapy as well, but if that ends…

Not sure if it still is, but the No.1 cause of bankruptcy pre-ACA was unpaid medical bills.

Still trying to treat healthcare as a consumable service, I see... because it’s been working SO WELL.

wait, my car has turn signals?

This is actually a real problem: Car museums struggle to find clean “bleh” cars. The K-Car, and especially those early minivans - pretty significant cars. But what if your entire job hinged upon finding a clean first-year Dodge Omni?

I came here to say that I never filed against my harassers at work, because I was sure it could ruin my work life. I have felt regret and anger that I never did, but actually your comment just now made me feel better than ever. Maybe I did make the right *decision. Thank you.

Also, his show is more or less the flagship of the network. The women at Fox knew what was up. If they complained in-house best case they’d be ignored. Worst case they’d be out of a job.

It’s just the reflex of assholes when they don’t get what they want from women. Although, most of those guys typically go with “You’re ugly anyway” as opposed to mocking their possessions.

Way to set the bar at a high level! HR departments for known sexist workplaces like Fox News are the least helpful way to deal with sexual harassment. HR is there to protect the employer, not the employees. Shocking that no one went to them. Shocking, I say.

I do think we're living in an age in which no naked picture is safe. That might just be a permanent reality.
