It’s very frustrating also because while I understand that expanding this into a series is extremely profitable, I worry about the cultural impact of watering down what is a pretty perfect political work of fiction.

I hope you consider Drag Race among the different versions of Top Model. It is a pinnacle of competitive reality television.

Other exception, people who have been traumatized by toxic family. They may be quite trustworthy, while trusting next to no one.

You’re absolutely right. I’m also annoyed by every little disagreement being called bullying.

I thought that it was human nature to have a fight or flight reaction to things but apparently most of these people just have one reaction: hold the line no matter what.

Instead of making the bizarre comparison to other (male) members of the Trump Administration, consider the fact that no administration in recent history has lied with the frequency and audaciousness of the Trump administration.

If you don’t believe in abortion; then don’t get one. It’s that simple. This is not about people’s personal beliefs; it’s about people’s obsessive desire to control all women; particularly their bodies. That is why she supports an “abstinence only” sex education program. This program doesn’t prevent abortion the…

ALL of this, and I’d add that the “Just go to the E-room” fallback is also fiscally magical thinking from our supposedly hardheadedly pragmatic Republican friends.

Have you seen the best reality show of the year? It’s called Victorian Slum House and the name is apt - several families moved into a Victorian Slum to dress, work, and live as poor Victorians. Food is available on credit at first, and at the end of the week if the rent can’t be paid, they’ll be cast out (or paying a…

Reading the book, I interpreted Offred’s definition of rape (and not-rape) more as a reflection of the culture she’s living in. Like... she doesn’t get to call what happens to her rape because it’s state-sponsored. It’s like her saying she used to have another name, but not telling the reader what it is (major…

I always think this on death penalty articles and I think it’s applicable here. Limits on the ways that we punish “bad” guys are not for the sake of the bad guys. They are for the sake of the people doling out the punishment.

He could be a serial killer-rapist who, when not murdering or raping likes to torture puppies and throw kittens off bridges, and was finally caught when he tried to shoot up a daycare and THIS IS STILL NOT OKAY.

The reason no one mentions the dead man’s crimes is that they are irrelevant to the way he was treated while in custody. 

“You’re the first daughter of the United States, and you’re also an assistant to the president,” the moderator, WirtschaftsWoche editor-in-chief Miriam Meckel, said. “The German audience is not that familiar with the concept of a first daughter. I’d like to ask you, what is your role, and who are you…

No. People can’t not do illegal drugs. And having an unpopular opinion doesn’t automatically make you some ultra-rational speaker of plain truths. Sometimes opinions are unpopular because their fucking stupid, and holding them just makes you a naive idiot. 

That’s some horribly judgey, unsympathetic BS to say suicide is a selfish act. I’m not talking about this case in particular, which is clearly fucked up, but you just made a blanket statement about people who are ill and in so much pain that they don’t see another way out.

I don’t know if I would go as far as to say that suicide is a selfish act. There are plenty of people who commit suicide who are truly suffering and in their case, it may be the best thing for everyone. I’m not going to call someone dying of cancer selfish because they want to end things early and not put themselves…

Because as a country we looked at what happened at Sandy Hook and decided we were ok with it.

Just keep in mind the “New Girl” is the worst part of New Girl. You watch because of Winston, Nick, CeCe and Schmidt. And for a few years here and there Coach.

I have “so it goes” tattooed on my neck and they were like “What does that mean” and I was like “It’s Kurt Vonnegut” and they were like “........”
