“Do you believe me?”

Can someone explain Twitter to me? From what gather, it’s a blog for people to write bad haikus.

Comedy is tragedy plus time

Please note, this a “best of Be-bop.” BB currently rests, comfortably, after falling out of a tree next door to his home, attempting to retrieve an errant lawn jart.

God, I have one friend who goes to parties, gets drunk, and starts screaming at people “ARE YOU A FEMINIST?!?!?”, because “you’re either a feminist or you’re evil.” It’s like a bizarre parody, except for how she’s 100% genuine.

So she doesn’t make a habit of judging whether women are living up to the feminist ideals, uh unless they are fuckgirls? Also, fuckgirls are everywhere and she is too mentally challenged to actually define clearly what a fuckgirl is. Yeah, this is TOTALLY the way I as a feminist would like to be represented. Also,…

Her claim seems to be that fuckgirls are women who inadvertently prevent feminist progress, by rejecting its communitarian aspects. Blankenship thinks that women have to be friendly to women and act as examples for women, or they’re anti-feminist. She also seems to believe that being a non-feminist is the same as…

Fuck-kin.

I think that—given that the books are fairly autobiographical and her family didn’t react well to the earlier, more flattering portrait of Atticus, who was based on her father—it makes perfect sense that she might have never intended to publish an unflattering portrait of him while her immediate relatives were still…

Honestly, not much. Lee is almost 90 years old and notoriously reclusive. She didn’t push to publish anything—anything—after To Kill a Mockingbird. It would take something like letters written years ago that express her intentions to publish this new book to convince me. Something from before 2007, when Lee had a…

Modest proposal: Don’t give these awards to living people.

I do not disagree with you. The daughter-in-law assumed that Loretta kept quiet all those years because of Judy. Loretta died, then Judy died, so now the daughter-in-law thinks it is okay to tell the secret that was confided to her all those years ago? Not her story to tell, and it seems icky and gross to me.

Why the eagerness to hold Joan and Cherie responsible for a brutal rape? They were there or they weren’t, and if they were there I certainly hope they didn’t tease Jackie about it. But even if they did, the criminal is the rapist. I fully understand Jackie being hurt and holding a grudge if it all went down as she…

Meh. I did some pretty hard partying with shady folks when I was that age. You are surrounded by crazy stuff going on around you. You are intoxicated for long periods of time. Things get blurry and misinterpreted, even by the victims and the perps. It takes a long time to sort it all out and understand what you saw…

Has something even remotely comparable to this been done before? Is there any precedence for taking it away? Totally agree it should happen, I’m just wondering how they could without a conviction of any kind? Are there legal barriers?

This sounds most likely to me too. If you look at news reports and court filings (and laws, for that matter) 30 years ago, it was such a massively different time.

I'm writing an iPhone, does what it wants sometimes

She got tapped by another car who had brake problems. I don’t care who’s in either car, it’s pretty clear it was the 88’s fault.
