I mean, “You call me up again just to break me like a promise/So casually cruel in the name of being honest” or “You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter” are pretty good though.

I truly don’t understand how anyone could have watched Jesse’s speech and come away with the message that “we are all the same/there’s only one race and that’s the human race”, but I guess that’s white privilege for you. Also Justin Timberlake seems kinda dumb.

But that quote is true. (Also, for what it’s worth, it wasn’t said by Dunham herself. It’s a quote from the article, and from the context it sounds like it was said by a black person involved in social justice.)

Do you really think that’s a fair comparison?

I’m just so goddamn sick of the B613 plot. As long as that storyline continues, the show will stay stuck in its rut creatively.

Cool story bro.

Why don't they set up scholarships for kids?

Abigail Adams did not own slaves.

It keeps changing color for me too and I am freaking out.

Unpopular opinion: the US version of the film was much better than the original Swedish version. Better made, better acted (except in the case of Noomi Rapace; I thought both she and Rooney were great), much closer to the book.
