Insensitive, yes - but still a sound critique: a famous person’s platform used to tout a potentially dangerous fast on a fan base that’s likelier to not know any better can still be fatal. Her not being black/not trying to understand some of the cultural aspects that come with our bodies does sting like hell, yes. But…

President who ran on “Hope and Change” asks candidates not to run on same, dude is more concerned about his legacy and cashing his paycheck. You don’t ever hear from him except when he’s criticizing PoC or progressives, so I don’t FWM no more

I’m just gonna leave this here lol

I know Barry O gets a pass because the presidents on either side of him are absolute pig fuckers and he’s charming as hell, but the guy was a warrior for the center right status quo like Pelosi and her ilk.

I wouldn’t run the same campaign today in this environment as I ran in 2008 in part because we made enough progress since 2008

I find it unfortunate that the illustration picture includes Pratchett's The Shepherd's Crown, arguably Sir Terry's worst novel in 30 years.  Which is not a criticism of Pratchett considering it was written while he was in his final years battling Alzheimers disease, nor is it a criticism of the Tiffany Aching novels…

Yet the practice you’re decrying here is something that jezebel writers engage in CONSTANTLY. 

Pretty strong opinion there. I’m curious, have you ever been to KC?

There’s a rich literary tradition of exactly what Song of the South was about, which was pretty much: Hey, slavery wasn’t THAT bad. The slave masters were always heroes that the slaves wanted to die for. Pretty much what you’d expect. (This isn’t an endorsement of them. This is to point out how terrible they are, and…

If you think I’m wasting it on Kinja, you’re mistaken. It’s above me now.

It definitely sounds like this dude isn’t a 21 year old spring chicken college student either, judging by the 7 years since he said I love you and whatever. This dude is probably in his early to mid thirties and he wants some unsullied princess to come along. I think he’s pretty seriously over estimating his market…

Big yikes on that shit right there. Did you tip your fedora before, after, or during the time you were writing this?

I love how literally every argument here is disingenuous. “Who will decide what is covered and what isn’t?” Well, who decides that now? Would you rather it be public servants who can be voted out or HMO execs answerable to literally no on but major shareholders? “Why would we think the federal government could get…

I get a window seat - always. I don’t care where I sit. It’s a plane, not my living room. I wait until all the other cattle have left, then I get up, get my bag from the overhead, and leave; like a civilized human being.

Imagine being so jealous of people with hair that you institute bullshit rules like this. *Rubs scalp nervously* just... Imagine.

Butts

I’ll, uh, go ahead and repeat the mass-sentiment from the last several posts concerning “woke” companies... WEIRD HOW CAPITALISM SWATHED IN FEMINISM IS STILL JUST SHITTY CAPITALISM </s>

Speaking as a new dad of a 7 month old, there were so many people and so many sources talking about how hard it is, my general reaction to caring for the baby was “this isn’t anywhere near as hard as people make it out to be.”

*Solas reads article*

Are you kidding? I got paid to make fun of Frank Miller. My job is AWESOME.
