A devastating game-7 loss?

As someone who gave living in West Virginia a try (I’m originally from California, lived in WV for about two years, then moved back to CA) there were some good points to this article, but I think you really underplay the role of racism/sexism in Donald Trump’s election there. When I was living in WV, I routinely heard…

I ran it over my wrist to make sure it wouldn’t burn the baby’s mouth

Someone else said Archie character, which I thought was great.

Their team hashtag (#BearWithUs) doesn’t inspire confidence

It’s weird how this no longer feels weird.

Counter-Counter-Point: He doesn’t know that. Also, NBC isn’t funded by the government. PBS and BBC are both government funded. I am sure the idea that a small Island filled with foreigners is making better public programming, will send him into a tailspin. Ideally, I need Fox News to do a story on it.

I’m going to go ahead and admit that I had no idea until I read this article! I am very glad to know it though.

This liberal bias is exactly why I canceled my subscription to Deadspin. I just read all the words in the articles and comment sometimes.

I watched the first two episodes with my husband last night, and when I asked him what he thought of it, he said, “it was pretty fucked up, but the world is pretty fucked up right now, so...??” He’s a keeper!

If I was American, I’d be calling to report that ICE was asking for my documents outside a courthouse.

I think that’s it completely. There’s actually an exact parallel in the book where she describes the attempted kidnapping of her baby daughter - at the time, it was illlegal and therefore kidnapping and considered to be horrifying. However, when the state took her daughter from her (or when Janine’s child is taken…

It’s been pointed out to me that he didn’t actually present his wife’s opinion as the one true feminist opinion, so I probably was too quick on the trigger with my own hot take. I am assuming things he didn’t actually say. But I know people who do that. Qualify that they know a feminist or a person of color or…

That’s it! Kick him from the Cocoon! He can go live with Henchman 21 for a while.

“but at one point he accused me of trying to “educate him””

Well how fucking DARE you. 

I want to ask neontaster, who generally enjoys dystopian fiction but hates sociopolitical intrusion, if there has ever actually been any work of dystopian fiction ever that wasn’t a sociopolitical commentary.

I really hate the “it’s TOOO topical” point of view. When was it written? It still applies? Then it’s not TOO topical. That means we haven’t really progressed. I’d argue we’ve regressed.

Alien day being on 4/26 is goddamn stupid. It should fall on the 426th day of the year, dummies.

I watched with my husband, and at the end, I asked him what he thought and it did not go well. I can’t remember the exact words—all I remember is static?—but at one point he accused me of trying to “educate him” and said it felt “unrealistic.”
