How. HOW. HOW IS THIS GUY SO POPULAR. He seems like he’s even more popular that Nader was, and Nader actually deserved it (even if he did kind of help get the worst president ever elected...).

Same. All sorts of red flags...

This left me feeling gross. She’s a kid for fucks sake. She shouldn’t be saving her family from bankruptcy.

“But 👏 how 👏 is 👏 the 👏 dick?”

It’s for all the scary clowns this year.

I really tried to care this morning because drama follows Demi like a shadow but clowns were spotted on my school campus last night and I’m considering moving out of the country because of it.

Hyder told me one of his better characters was still active, and getting published (a male character, as it happens). I asked him to tell me where. He politely refused.

For those of you looking for it, here’s the passage in question:

I wasn’t going to mention the reason because it’s so unbelievably stupid and trashy, but hand to God, she got fed up and left him because he WOULDN’T CLEAN UP AFTER HIS PET PIG.

“But don’t underestimate the need for attention. Especially young girls. There’s a lot of pressure on young girls in our society to be pretty, to be liked, to be the popular one. It’s not fair, but it is how our society works.”

“French.. and later, the Latin..” What. This person is confused about how language works.

Read into things what you want them to mean much?

Give him a break -- he only just started Rumspringa and hasn’t had time to shop!

The kill yourself bothered me a bit. While I get the sentiment, it’s too much like the shit kids get told in high school. Let’s not let this be thought of as funny.

I wouldn’t say sterile, more overstuffed, dark and heavy. It looks headache inducing.

Sadly I’ve come to expect this response in the gawker/jezebel franchise. Somehow the left (which I am typically a part of) has gone from supporting Israel to hating it. Apparently there is only a finite amount of sympathy and none of it goes to Israelis. There is no doubt that the Palestinian issues are complex. I…

Been reading this over the Summer, about half way through, it’s an amazing read and the depth of the story just barely seems to have been scratched so far.

I dunno, the “maybe don’t take our children into a war zone where even UN convoys are bombed” is not that bad a tack . . .

Of course it matters. I just don’t see how it counts as a greater claim than that of a people who resided there for millenia until kicked out by a colonial power, who then tried to return after facing numerous pograms, finally succeeding in the wake of a genocide of unprecedented scope. It’s pretty crazy to pretend…

Oh, good. Proud Know-Nothing inserts himself and his bland platitudes into the most complex diplomatic situation in the world. This will surely end well.
