Yet another in the “internet of things is a terrible idea” wagon. I’m a complete techie who deliberately has as few gadgets as possible that have wifi capability and/or video/microphones on them because most tend to be poorly coded and vulnerable. The free Alexa I got with one of my utilities quickly went up for sale…

Couldn’t agree more.

So, I went and read through Taylor’s twitter thread, and there’s this:

okay, wait, i’m sorry - you think that it’s okay to sexually harass someone but lying about it isn’t?

both are repugnant. and he definitely should have been kicked off.

They are playing a game for a life changing amount of money. The players are naturally going to be hesitant about “causing a scene”. It should be on the producers to take that burden on themselves to enforce rules and kick someone off if need be without asking a contestant what their thoughts are. Placing that…

There’s a female foreign service worker and former ambassador to Ukraine currently testifying in a hearing in the United States Congress that is part of an inquiry that could lead to the impeachment of the president of the United States.

The board is usually packed with “Karens”.

the hate being expressed for Sarah and other authors here for calling out a legit problem is so bizarre. no doubt, there is another inane article about Cardi B coming up that everyone can gush over though. 

Look, this is why this shit is a big deal. YA novels aren’t some kind of frivolous bullshit that isn’t worth reading because they aren’t The Great American Novel. If you’re at a university to challenge yourself academically, the Common Read isn’t the only place you can do that, and telling everyone that you joined a…

How can you tell what generation anyone is from this comment?

As someone also descended from Holocaust survivors... fuck her.  Don’t trot that out as your “get out of racist jail” card.  What your parents or grandparents went through should make you MORE sensitive to marginalised groups, not less.  Idiot 

Or, she’s in a relationship with an abusive shit, who has her all twisted up. We all know the type. And now that fuckface is gonna drag her to hell with him.

I am shocked and apalled that it took Rich 90 minutes and a reveal to get what everyone else knew from the trailer.

Nothing says Christmas like “I was dead all along! Love ya!”

Tom died in a car accident and wouldn’t you know, Kate received a heart transplant. The heart was Tom’s. Last Christmas, he gave her his heart.

A talk my dad had with me, also at around 14, when my mum was away on vacation for a week: “I’m going grocery shopping. If you need me to pick up tampons or condoms, let me know. Not that I’m assuming you need either of those things at this moment, but the offer is there”.
