I WASN’T INSPIRED

I’ve been noticing a trend at work (a NFP healthcare org) that whenever I email the other NFP agencies with liaise with, they have nearly all changed their email signatures to include their pronouns. I think it’s great. And the other day at home I asked my seven year old something about someone (can’t remember who)…

For the liberal intellectuals it’s the cocktail party principle. These guys expect to be able to say anything they want for the sake of a “thought experiment”. They expect those around them to smile bemusedly at their eccentricity since they have the credentials and the gentility to pull it off. How dare you point out…

Well, we don’t have that kind of power! We’ll likely have criticisms of Harris and Biden over the next few months, but Trump getting voted out is our biggest concern right now. Whether we’ll have a legitimate election, however...

Seemed the most sensible choice, especially considering the readiness to govern if something happes to Biden and the fact that Harris polled astonishingly well among the voters. I think only Warren polled better. In addition, she’s apparently been killing at fundraising. I also think she’s a really good balance to…

Counterpoint: Republicans have been calling Democrats every name under the sun, yelling death panels this and forced abortions that. If you’re ceding the intensity of language, then you’re conceding the electorate are predisposed to lean towards Trump and need to be fooled or coddled.

Ads would run before Youtube videos asking what people wanted to put on 45's birthday card. I would always say to my screen:

But I’ve learned to find it beautiful because I feel the world,” she says.

Imagine expressing how you have learned to cope with your mental health, only to be told you’re wrong because it might not be relatable for everyone.

Exactly! It’s not Rian Johnson’s fault that JJ Abrams thinks you can just dump ideas for a mystery without any plan to solve them until the last minute if at all. It’s like people who go out of their way to blame The Last Jedi for Rise of Skywalkers’ failings forget how Abrams’ Mystery Box works.

This “outed as a landlord” shit is annoying.

No one, celebrity or otherwise, should feel obliged to label themselves as one sexuality or another just to make other people comfortable.

He came off a little better in the book, but not by much  

The sad thing is at this point the only attitude I have left is ‘good or bad I just can’t wait for this to be fucking over so it will be easier to ignore the people bitching about it’ which, even with the prequels, is never a point I thought I’d hit with Star Wars.

“It causes me no harm or offense that people believe in imaginary beings. Why would it, unless I weren’t quite sure of my own beliefs?”

Blasphemy is a victimless crime.

He could’ve said that it “isn’t necessarily represented accurately” there and been fine. Because there aren’t a ton of TV shows that show how hard blue collar life is. And most often it’s presented within the context of comedy when it is more accurate (Roseanne, Malcolm in the Middle, Raising Hope, The Middle, etc.).…
