Yeah I’m not sure why you need to explain things that are patently obvious. I understand all of this and in theory, you’re right and SHE is right and you speak to the way the world ought to be. I like her and I think she’s great AND ALSO think that describing 9/11 as “some people did something” is not a savvy,…

The majority of Dems used to identify as moderate or conservative democrats. Although the percent of those who identify themselves as “liberal” is growing, it’s barely above 50%. Which means that a significant part of our voting block is “moderate” or “conservative”. I find myself always having to remember that my Comm…

I hope that’s true. Actually, I hope that’s also true of many Republicans. 

You’re right — there’s nothing a black, Muslim woman could say that would be palatable to those folks.

You’re right. They should unequivocally support her.

To preface, I support Ilhan Omar’s position here and on other policy matters, but Pelosi speaks to/for the majority of Dems who do not identify as “progressive” or “liberal”. Most Dems, I was surprised to find out, identify as moderate or conservative. So while I personally agree with Ilhan, AOC, Ayanna, Rashida, etc,…

No, it wouldn’t have. That book was laid out to convey a specific impression and elicit a question to which she would have given a perfectly “thoughtful”, pre-planned answer about something-something spirituality. Asking a friend and having that friend be surprised is much more telling. 

On non-wifi flights, plane work can be great because you’re not distracted by emails/Slack notifications/chats, so it can be great for focused work. That said, I consider the flight itself “work” time so I don’t feel the need to do anything but sleep or read unless I need the time to meet a deadline. 

Shoes: fine, maybe, if your feet have a neutral or better odor. Socks: never ever ever ever ever. 

Draymond is also legitimately the WORST.

If you make your living via Instagram and YouTube and your account got deleted for reasons you couldn’t control - aka NOT hate speech - you’d be perfectly entitled to outrage. Activist accounts, from BLM-associated accounts, trans-positive accounts, feminist accounts to accounts that are targeted by mass bogus…

Same here. I actually love it. I hate clutter and appreciate clean lines, so in theory, this space is dreamy. Not sure if it’s ideal for kids and pets, but they’re wealthy enough to just toss a rug with grape juice stains. 

When you have a substantial home, you can have the “for company” part of the house and the private living quarters that are more laid back. 

“As someone who does recipe development professionally”

Really, it’s ok. You can’t help people who won’t use Google. This very stable genius thinks that the threat of jail keeps people from committing crimes which is really REALLY funny when you consider the rate of recidivism for so many convicts. Even experiencing actual jail doesn’t deter people from further jail. His…

What if your name was Lenard Larry McKelvey?

Listen, you seem super nice, but this isn’t necessary because this person is, in fact, an intellectual baboon. It takes 10 seconds on the internet to google “does incarceration work” to find links to empirical studies that show that incarceration in the US has contributed minimally to lower crime rates. It takes a…

Just to be clear, I am in favor of a consequence that is more in line with restorative justice, meaning something that would make more people who were damaged by her actions whole. Endowing scholarships, cleaning up a community center where low-income students are taking SAT prep classes, something that gives a value…

My favorite part of life is being mansplained shit about something I do for a living and you’ve managed to augment that with logical fallacies, misinformation, and a painful ignorance of how the justice system functions in the US and abroad. Imprisoning *anyone* is not an effective deterrent to criminal behavior. It’s…

It’s also good for the students taking that class and making those connections. There’s nothing you can learn from Kavanaugh that you couldn’t learn in another conlaw elective after your first year, but potentially impressing a SCOTUS justice is a priceless connection if you might want to clerk in DC, pursue that…
