Yes. The Conservative party has slid completely into nihilism. They only react now: there is no cohesive ideology left at all. How else can we explain this desire to hold up Pence’s virtue while he works for a man who bragged about walking in on naked 15 year olds?

It’s impossible to know if people are authentic and sincere in their racism. I know for a fact that my own worldview takes a lot of vigilance so I don’t lapse into lazy, magical thinking. It’s hard to know where your preferred ideas come from and why you like them. It’s work. We don’t teach people to do that work…

I want to say quickly, that you are absolutely right.

Oh please keep this up. I think this article has a sequel in the works about defensive film festival programmers.

Does this help?

This is the only relatable thing about Megyn Kelly. I love Jaws. I love the cast. I love the scene drinking in the boat. I love Robert Shaw.

Wait, isn’t this Pygmalion?

The tools are in the Constitution. Every single step in favor of democracy has been taken because we have the right to organize and speak and publish. Our due process rights in the court and the right to vote allow us to prosecute bad government.

Your convictions have sent us backwards. We are going to lose all of those gains because you were so antagonized by the concept of building on half measures.

You’re not wrong. I’m really unnerved by the revolutionary rage and fervor in the language. People on twitter acting like they are already manning the barricades. This is going to get people killed. We’re on a track to lose everything fast while socialists make dumb analogies about driving a Prius off a cliff. We’re…

You’re essentially saying we’re too dumb to handle the tools in the Constitution.

Thank you, for being part of the fucking problem, Kathy.

Artistic breakthroughs are like singularities. You have no idea what is beyond each step in the evolution of your voice, and it is a frightening and exhilarating choice to trust that process. I just read about how De Chirico was embraced by a surrealist school that had been created by admirers of his surrealist work.…

This article feels really resentful that she makes things that challenge the audience instead of trifles.

What a sad statement about art.

I think octopus could give us a run for our money if they had parents. They are so smart, and their bodies are designed to give out after they breed. The mother octopus protects her eggs until they hatch and refuses to eat. Even in captivity, they cannot be saved.

Done and Done!

Fuck yes. Have always loved her. I’m pretty sure that Michelle Rodriguez’s character in Resident Evil was an homage to Vasquez.

And uh, those girls are both white. And almost 40 years apart. Shit, I am old!

Fuck all this. Stop teaching girls that pain equals love.
