100% cosign. This rewriting and glossing over of both historical and contemporary hatefulness is extremely harmful. We’re seeing right now with the refusal to call the attempted coup exactly that. The coup I lived through in W. Africa was more honest(?) The few military participants declared themselves; there were no…

They are people of such shallow depth that to cover their face effectively erases them.

exoticism, I think. I’d equate it to a white American claiming to be Scottish and using a fake accent. It’s a little offensive but mostly fucking weird. 

All that aggression in those ugly-ass Birkenstocks. So much for Earth Shoes...

When I was 9 a man grabbed my wrist because he thought he saw me pocket / steal something from the toy isle at K-mart (I didn’t but apparently the girl next to me did and he mistakenly thought he saw my hand pocket it). My father was standing some 20 feet away chatting to someone, turned, saw a man gripping my wrist…

Sane people’s logic: My phone is missing. Where did I last have that thing?

Yeah, it’s kind of hard for me to get hot and bothered about this. It’s kind of telling that people are reacting like pretending to be partially from Spain = pretending to be POC. Like, all she’s doing is aligning herself with a different imperialist oppressor.

Malcolm Gladwell: It’s just masturbation! What’s so wrong with masturbating in front of a captive audience!

Some folks take that whole “he anointeth my head with oil” and “look-he is risen!” thing a bit too far...

Right? We’re going back to pointing our fingers in outrage over minor crap like this as if the things we’ve seen happening over the past four years were just playground antics. Damn it!

Yeah.  We’ll all just chalk this up to being “locker room talk”.

Agreed - it’s a signal to progressives that while yes, we have to work with these fuckers to get anything done, we know very well that they are fuckers and we don’t trust them as far as we can throw them.

Why does it not surprise me that people are suddenly scandalized by provocative or inflammatory language by a Biden staffer despite spending the past four years letting Donald Trump say literally whatever the fuck he wants without repercussions or consequences? 

“I apologize for calling these people fuckers. They’re obviously motherfuckers.”

Yeah it must be a relief but there are plenty of folks who still think of the wedding itself as the ultimate day of their life and so it must be perfect...no matter what. No wonder many marriages are so disappointing.

I bet Mike Pence does too.

This all happened way back before the election, after he lost interest in COVID-19. So, he might have not been involved. But if he was, he made a very good business decision because he’s a very good and well-respected business man.

Which also by default devalues the hard work these women have done to land these jobs. It’s just the graduated version of college students who make fun of communications majors...

Thomas, Alito, and probably Barrett are completely in the bag for him. Kavanaugh is on most things, but he has gone against Trump on a couple of cases. Gorsuch seems to be more of a principled conservative who will rule on the actual merits and take a dim view of something that appears to be completely…
