I hope this means she’s doing some very necessary self-reflection and change but I think the most likely explanation is she realized she needs to play nice because she needs the work.

This just shows how unfamiliar you are with DC and the city administration, and the useless, corrupt mayor. They could have all the money in the world and still find ways to do nothing of value with it. There shouldn’t be any issue getting political support to pass a city wide law forcing developers building condos…

One of the locations closing is in Union Station in DC. And that whole place has become a major shitshow since the start of the pandemic. And yes, I do blame the local politicians who have no plan for dealing with the homeless crisis beyond handing out tents and then sending the police to raid and dismantle…

I agree with taxing the shit out of him and other billionaires but I’m not sure it’s just about resources. The location he’s closing in DC is in Union Station, which has become an absolute shitshow during the pandemic though it already was one before to be honest.

Your xenophobia is showing. Not a good look on someone who thinks they’re so progressive I qualify as ‘conservative’. I guess you’re not that far removed from the Trumpies after all! Funny how extremes end up having so many similarities... 

She’s been married 4 times. I’d say it’s a fair assumption at this point. 

Yeah I’m definitely in the latter category. 

My purely subjective gossip-meter, what else? 

I never said she was stupid. But narcissistic and kind of vapid despite her pseudo-intellectual cosplaying, yes. Of course I could be wrong I don’t know this person but it’s the impression I have of her.

Who?

There’s that.

LOL so first you fuck up and attribute someone else’s comment to me but rather than admit you fucked up, you just continue arguing in bad faith rather than, I don’t know, actually read what someone said and engage in an actual discussion?

• This is just a great headline: “Chris Pratt Closes the Door on Indiana Jones Casting Speculation After Getting ‘Scared’ by Harrison Ford” [ET]

I usually am the first to bitch when Jez gets overly critical of HRC but in this case I tend to agree. I can already picture the book, it’s probably the same as all the other earnest bullshit powerful women books that they sell in bookstores in rich liberal neighborhoods and the like, written by rich white humorless…

Um, did you read someone else’s comment and attribute it to me by mistake? This is what I had to say about Hawley, and confusion was definitely not how I would describe what he said:

But so much of progressivism is at its heart elitist and about sussing out heretics who don’t agree on all 95 points of our platform that we are going to start losing these voters. Not to mention that nuance and complexity aren’t your friend in politics.

It doesn’t matter what she tweeted. Call out/shaming culture is toxic and out of control and is a really destructive force in society. I just roll my eyes most of the time when the mobs are trying to cancel someone. I feel like 95% of the time it’s overkill snd/ or some overzealous purity test and the left eating its …

I wish I could say I was surprised but coming from Latin America, there’s a lot of misogyny, cultural baggage and ignorance to unpack here. My bet is the guy is probably the mother’s boyfriend and it wouldn’t surprise me if, in addition to defending him, the mother also blames her daughter for what happened. At best…

I actually agree with your views a lot more than you think and personally my views are very progressive but I’m also not blind to the fact that there is a growing disconnect between educated, progressive elites and progressive activists, and the working class and the average middle class person who isn’t highly…

No, I think you’re correct but for better or worse pedophilia seems to have become the catch-all term for attraction to anyone under 18.
