I BOUGHT THESE EXACT SHOES FROM CLAIRE’S IN 1997.

I don’t understand. You’re against revitalizing a stagnant economy by attracting new industry? And to your point, you most certainly should form opinions about him and other candidates. But I wouldn’t recommend cementing opinions on his success as mayor without first looking into South Bend and the struggles it faced…

as a resident of south bend i think he’s done a great job of modernizing the city by attracting tech industries and revitalizing downtown. south bend is so much different than it was 10 years ago, and the trajectory is pointing up. i find it interesting that so many people, many of whom probably have never even…

This is the perfect time for Jezebel to do a long piece about how MLMs prey on vulnerable women in the name of feminism and financial freedom when the reality is it sucks them dry and leaves them friendless and poorer than they started out. It’s so gross how MLMs work and what they do to people.

Maine legalized medically assisted suicide, the third state to do so this year. [ABC News]

Strong disagree. Lots of people are saying they “forgive” HBO for season 8 of GoT because of Chernobyl. GoT told about two-thirds of its story over 54 episodes, then mashed the last third into 12 episodes. Chernobyl only ever had five episodes and it’s a fantastically complicated story, nicely paced throughout. They…

Or it could be Fresno!

Huh. An interesting take. I took it as Warren making out the best from the top tier candidates as she only has Booker and Beto in her group (from those near the top.) She now gets a huge opportunity to shine.

Hell, the current line on Stalin was that he was a stand-up guy who maybe made a few teensy mistakes that were blown out of proportion.

I would have liked to have seen something about the two female security guards who were posted near the reactor and died of rapid radiation poisoning along with the firefighters and the engineers who went to restart the feed water.

Oh, so all the Ukraine has to do is sue the Russian government for them to cede control of Crimea back to them.

Why was your grandmother such a racist?

I don’t agree with the letter at all, I’m Mexican and Puerto Rican. I could care less if they want to put a pattern on a dress. Saying certain patterns or styles only belong to the mexican people is ridiculous, what are you going to do copyright it? I find it flattering that people want to wear our styles. Let it live…

Calls it all a lie and an ideological tool against the Russian people and then goes on to claim it was a mysterious American that caused the disaster.

fellow Russian here: people forget that Russia, and later the USSR, was an imperialistic colonizing nation. Russia is very multicultural, but westerners, especially people in the US, don’t think so because there were very few people who would be considered “people of color” by modern American standards. Also, people…

as a russian who has lived in the states for a very long time, even in int’l places americans aren’t super aware of that much, esp regarding russia.

You just can’t gild the lily. These are Brooks Brothers, probably $$$, but still look like they came from American Eagle.

For anyone who wants to read more about the human side of the disaster, definitely pick up Voices from Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexievich. The writer of the tv show based parts of the miniseries on her work (Lyudmilla Ignatenko is someone she originally interviewed).
