I mean, how can you argue with that? YOU LITERALLY CAN’T. Like, the only possible retort is, “Nuh-uh!”

You’re only perceiving flaws because you CHOOSE to! Perceive victory! This is totally gonna work out! We’ll totally get Mexico to bankroll the moat around any holdout secessionists!

whoa whoa, not cool! Most of us did NOT vote for him. (Also, people in glass houses... ::cough:: Harper ::cough::)

wait, ok, they won’t go for that, so here’s the plan: we invade them, conquer them, then install Trudeau as leader. IT’S SO CRAZY IT HAS TO WORK.

awwww (also, whoa - really tense for a moment there!)

Yep - fucking amazing and one of my favorite books of all time (also IN NO WAY A LOVE STORY OMFG how do people even think that? I’m guessing the Sue Lyon/James Mason film skewed people’s idea of it a lot?)

The first part threw me, too. I was like, how is that misleading? Wouldn’t it be super-weird (and pretty much meaningless) if 36 women who’d never worked with Franken on SNL said he was a great guy? Not that either should be taken as ‘proof’ one way or the other, but I don’t get how a statement from 36 former…

haha, thank you for assuaging my paranoia! And yeah, probably not that much need for TMI hand gestures + a short dress would up the ick factor, just because of hygiene (speaking of hygiene, I hope she was joking about tucking it in her butt).

(um... is it? why? I mean, assuming you’re not wearing shorts or a micro-miniskirt, no one’s going to see anything [they almost certainly wouldn’t see anything tampon-related, anyway], and you’re not gonna be dragging your junk on furniture or anything so... how is it gory? Toooooootally honest question, since I …

(For whatever little it’s worth, I know a couple of friends/ex’s of Patton’s from way back. Dude did have some issues, but they were the neurotic/inwardly directed kind [nothing that would be a shock if you’re familiar with his stand-up], not behaving inappropriately- especially when it came to sex stuff. Not a…

Fred Rogers is a man apart. Dr. Seuss had some weird skeletons in his closet, I have no idea what Captain Kangaroo did in his free time (probably nothing bad, but who knows?), and holy anti-semitic shitballs, Roald Dahl - but Mr. Rogers was preternaturally decent. I went down a weird rabbit hole a couple years back,…

Dead and vetted beyond all possible suspicion. We’ll never lose the Mr. Rogers. we love, because that’s actually who he was.

Without even bothering to google: you are correct! I know there were a spate of accusations and a bunch of settlements, at least. Details beyond that are fuzzy, but it was not just one or two or three women...

Are you kidding me? “backing some moderate republicans?” Even a cursory google search reveals that the Koch brothers aren’t just wealthy political donors - and they are sure as everloving fuck not “on-board with progress” for women or minorities, unless you consider illegal abortion and school segregation progress (th…

Nothing to see here - just some rickrolling link to a video about chopping onions. A LOT of stupid onions. Goddamn lack of tissue around here...

ok! Not reading on for context (pretty much nothing could make it any better - and I feel like it’s plenty bad as is) - no offense, but that apparently hit my special-snowflake-PTSD-button, so that’s enough internet reading for the night...

but we all know ‘these folks!’ There’s just so much money and career opportunities in the false-accusation/blackmail game, who among us can say they haven’t been tempted to get raped or at least pretend, if only for the sweet cash and prizes?

NO! NO NO NO NO NO. Also: NO! That is pretty much the only goddamn ‘facet’ anyone has given more than an iota of attention to for the past few decades (and then some).

But if his own sisters wouldn’t believe it, are you sure you were raped?

I’d stop ascribing it to ‘feminist/not feminist,’ at that point, and just make it about whether you’re able to separate your perceptions of a person from other people’s.
