The Road is such an amazing book. I was devastated reading it. It represents the best and worst of humanity. I didn’t love All The Pretty Horses. I need to read No Country For Old Men and Blood Meridian.

Good point; the legality of it didn’t even occur to me. “It would be illegal for Disney to do this” is a pretty good rejoinder to “Why don’t they do this?”

A new Gilbert book harms everyone.

Hey guys...we pretty much take it for granted no one is responding to your request for comment.

Ask not for whom the bait clicks.

a pretty huge act.

“Hacky jokes that didn’t land” where he casually degraded Black women. Repeatedly. I understand that may not mean much to you but overall, accepting those kinds of “jokes” contributes to racist dehumanization of Black people in our society, and that’s a problem for me.

Yep. Which is why we now have legions of emotionally stunted, large children throwing memes at each other in shitpost groups and thinking they’re actual “soldiers” in an actual “war.”

“I don’t know what any of those movies are. I’ve never seen them.”

It’s too bad Tarantino hasn’t seen Ryan Reynolds’ latest Netflix film, because it’s about a foot fetishist who finds a magic lamp and wishes for the world’s supply of beautiful feet and he’s pretty much in heaven the entire time.

Middle aged Barbie makes more sense for a woman with 500 jobs and 200 degrees. She’s experienced and in control of her life, but not some pushover kid. I like that she doesn’t mess around and Ken is the himbo. This movie actually looks funny.

I did not enjoy this show but down playing the racist attacks is not a good look my dude. The same thing happened with Star Wars and the Rose Tico harassment. Not a great movie but the intense hate directed at that actress for being asian was truly shocking (to all decent people).

That’s something that I’m very, very open about so that people understand that what they do and say online really hurts people, really has an impact on us.

CBT stands for cognitive behavioral therapy. It’s not a drug, it’s a practice, and it’s worked for me. But it’s not the only form of talk therapy. There are many other approaches to choose from.

I’ve been seeing a lot of “so and so needed therapy after such and such” stories lately, and I’d just like to say, on the occasion of Mental Health Awareness Month: All of us need therapy. Everyone has trauma that they’re carrying around that’s impacting their mental and emotional state every day, and needing to talk t…

Lol cops don’t care and tell you there’s nothing they can do.

Also, as someone who lived through the 90's the public perception, especially on the side of white conservatives, between the crack epidemic and the opioid epidemic is night and day. The “blame” for the fentanyl crisis has shifted 100% to illegal immigration. I don’t remember that kind of empathy being extended crack…

“Yeah, I read some stuff from time to time. Yeah, I know a few things. It’s not an insult at all.”

A court made deSantis’ lawyers define woke and they said something like “believing there are systemic injustices and wanting to fix them.”

Well why would it be an insult? The opposite of woke is asleep. If you’re not woke, go back to bed.
