She’s definitely not my favorite, but she does seem to make efforts in her community. But her community is not white evangelicals in Alabama. Given that she’s married to another woman, no one who voted for Roy Moore will give her the time of day.

Possibly a late 60s thing. My parents got a harvest gold one in 1968. It was definitely not used for fondue in the 1980s.

Properly drawn and weighted, it definitely is large enough to be reasonably accurate within a decent margin of error. The methodology is as strong as anyone is going to get.

I suspect that Woody Allen “getting” women is part of what has let him manipulate so many of them. I feel like this shouldn’t be a shock.

As a white person, I’m going to say “yes, all white people.” The houses just aren’t close enough in the burbs for it to be as noticable.

Actually, a number of them do care, because they think this is needed to bring about the second coming of Christ. Christian Dominionism is not just a fringe thing anymore.

Conyers is confusing the protocol for “dies tragically in office” with “resigns in disgrace.” And even in death it was usually the wife who was appointed to be a care taker while the party figured things out.

Israel has been “asking” the US to do this for decades. I put asking in quotes because it’s not entirely clear that during some of that time it was really something they actually wanted us to do. It was a bit of a diplomatic dance.

So this was a non-probability sample. I suspect it was heavily influenced by people with an agenda. I’m less down on humanity now.

Problem adjacent is perfect. I have some male co-workers it is the perfect description of. I don’t think they are harrassers. And I think if harrassers brought said stuff in front of them they’d say “that’s not ok.” But the don’t get that there is a whole world they don’t see.

Except that many of the people promoting this shit have money and access to.medical care. I’m sure it attracts people that don’t, but lots of it comes from wealthy white women who don’t like what they hear. Lots of this is really about anxiety and people who get mad when they are told they have anxiety.

People say it, but they are the type of people who don’t understand that it’s not useful to redefine common words so others don’t know what you mean. The are talking about “whiteness” as a socially constructed way of dominating people. They refuse to realize that most people who hear that think they are talking about…

They can’t add a trigger. They’ve delayed the votes again.

I suspect if this fails we are getting a shutdown. Trump some how think that will not reflect badly on him.

Exactly. There are reasons I don’t talk to my 92 year old Grandma about some things. My cats? Sure. Anything that requires an understanding of power dynamics? No.

InfoWars called him out. The President retweeted shit too crazy for InfoWars. I didn’t know that was possible.

You are probably right. Either way it’s definitely lost the “excellent speaker aspect.”

Articulate was one that snuck up on me. Like it took me minute to figure out why “Obama is articulate,” was a slur. Because I translated it to “Obama is an exceptionally good public speaker” not “Obama speaks standard English.”

It’s not much better in the civil service. I mean the process sucks less for the victim but apparently “zero tolerance” doesn’t mean meaningful consquences. I had to explain this to a newer staff person who had a pretty awful experience with our resident creepy guy. Most of us have a story about him. And management…

Having a friend who routinely used the “n”and when called on it claimed she was just joking is exactly what Dunham supposedly did. That seems like a lot more than a tasteless joke to me.
