I admittedly never read the comic, but I understand it at times missed the mark in regards to the trans community. I also understand that the existence of transmen necessarily has to be addressed in a show that has the Y chromosome so tied into it’s central premise. That being said it’s going to be tiring if they feel…

Don’t be too alarmed, but I think someone is trying to get you to believe in TimeCube.

Maybe you should go around telling restaurant owners and managers that. I’ve known multiple people who had serious injuries and on the way to the hospital had their employers attempt to coerce them into claiming they got injured somewhere else. Hell, my old boss would complain at me frequently about the time that one…

The restaurant will surely have her back up until she goes to a clinic to get checked out and her boss pressures her to claim she got attacked outside of work so they don't have to pay workers comp.

“The push for global change is not a competition and requires a global effort.

It reminds more like a modern day version of what Faye Dunaway  was pitching in "Network.”

I mean, when you read about what happens to some of the surrounding communities, just the actual Olympics.

I highly recommend his run on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? for those who haven’t seen it. While he gets almost to the very end, he also was the last person to win the fastest finger question. They eventually just gave him the prompt “Spell this famous comedian’s name by aranging the following letters in order: a) O…

And just think, if 51% of people vote yes on the recall, and Elder wins the plurality of the votes with something like even just 7% (given how many candidates are on the ballot this is possible), he wins the governorship even though effectively 7x more people voted for Newsom. Democracy!

This is very good. I’d also like to recommend the This American Life episode about the FBI agent going undercover at a mosque. Good fucking grief.

That’s why I think it’s important to remind people of the anthrax attacks which actually did happen right after 9/11 (and the shoe bomber wasn’t long after either, that was in December 2001). While they were ultimately unrelated, there was so much pushing of the story that there was an immediate threat to any and all…

I think it’s important to remember that while we invaded Afghanistan very quickly, the invasion of Iraq happened a year and a half after 9/11. A year and a half in kid/teen time is a long time to either change opinions or solidify them. I was in 8th grade when the attacks happened, and I don’t remember really having…

I think some people from the #FreeBritney movement are going to have to prepare to be disappointed in her. Not to say that she can’t and shouldn’t be in charge of her own life, just to say that we all make mistakes or the occasional choice that we believe is right but looks bizarre to the outside world. It feels like…

I feel like we’re straying too far into semantics here, but I’m going to just go ahead and defend myself for a second and say “why do you think vaccines are divisive” and “why do you think vaccines became divisive” are not the same question. I can’t answer for the right-leaning portion of the anti-vax crowd but I’ve…

I mean, it’s definitely telling that these sorts of resolutions have failed in the past. I’m mostly disappointed that after a little excitement over the passing of this one all the dialogue about it seems to have fizzled out. I know that there’s too many causes for everyone to cape for all the time, but forgetting…

Have you not seen people screaming in the streets over vaccines? I live on the left coast and they’re here too. I enjoy that you’re challenging me to rethink how sure I am on some of my positions, but if you’re unable to admit that vaccines are a divisive topic (and not just Covid vaccines either, while they might get…

You might be right. But it can be easier to convince people to support an issue if they have real people to connect it with. DC residents have an opportunity to share their stories and help further the cause of statehood in a way that the Supreme Court just can’t, much like how LGBTQ advocates went door to door to…

It’s not about convincing him at this point, it’s about convincing his constituents. He won’t turn on anything unless he thinks he won’t have an office anymore, that much is clear. 

Sure, but he’s going to be nigh impossible to move on any issue unless he thinks he’ll lose his office over it. It feels like an easier battle to win to convince support for DC statehood than expanding the Supreme Court. 

I’m basing this on the last election in which Puerto Rico voted to support statehood. I would support either way the residents of the island would want to go, but this current situation in which they’re ostensibly part of the USA but have no representation is fucking ridiculous and needs to end. And if they do go for…
