I don’t post much to these, but I appreciate them and read them every week. I follow many of you. Today was rough. I’m a single mom now, and work very hard, and I do a lot with my kids. Today my son told me that he was embarrassed that I clapped and shouted during his soccer game. My daughter pouted and got dramatic…

It’s so easy. Are you afraid you’re not as smart as you could be? Socialism! Are you afraid that you’re paying too much or not earning enough but someone could confiscate your AR-15? Socialism! Do you ever wonder if maybe you’re being scammed by those you voted for? Socialism! Have you ever considered you should be…
It’s only death if it happens while you are dying. Otherwise, we’re living very long until we die (loose paraphrase of someone named Shapiro). Also, if you received medical benefits or someone actually mourned your death, that’s socialism. Stop forcing it on us.
The pure ignorance that this has revealed is more shocking. These dumbfucks don’t even understand what a college degree actually means. Look at our government, those in power. Look at Wall St., who cares where any of them got their business degree. Some have Ivy-league degrees, some don’t, some have MBAs, some don’t, s…
All this. It’s educational red-lining. And worse, those paying those property taxes think they deserve more.
Or they could have just got her into NYU, easy enough, and used their influence and network for a decent internship, which has more clout than a fucking useless 4-year degree from USC (had she even finished). They’re dumb and were scammed because they’re dumb and nothing will be learned from this. The public…
This is it, these schools aren’t worth it. Few employers are looking at alma mater at this level. You’re more competitive if you have a good internship, which, with her connections, should have been easily arranged. The scam is real.
No one wants to be killed when they are the ones buying the fountain pens. They hold out hope that could happen.
Exactly. Respectability politics, the evil spectre of right wing nuts. If Biden can’t hack this, he can’t be President and Castro is absolutely right about that.
Particularly movies set in New Jersey. Every stereotype and trope gets overplayed.
I think fashion trends have become what technology we use, not what clothes we wear. My students were AGHAST that I hadn’t updated my phone (old android) in 4 years. Ear buds, wireless, fitbits, Google watches, etc., that’s what distinguishes us now.
Kurt Anderson has an essay for that: https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2012/01/prisoners-of-style-201201
Amen to all of this. This is a ridiculous and ignorant post on Hillary absolutely owning the shit out of the GOP and pointing out their hypocrisy. Good for you, bring them on.
We have them, in New Jersey. They are often heavily discounted and in bulk. This is what the poors buy and this is why they cheer.
What it is, is that poor folks can buy old incandescent bulbs for much less than newer LEDs. They are still available, and often at less than a dollar. So this speaks to them: “fuck you and your expensive, energy-saving bulbs!” For Drumpf, of course, it’s just literally about better lighting for the camera.
Funnily enough, lots of lawyers recommend their defendants and their friends and family write letters to the judge...it has never worked in any case I’ve ever seen, in fact it probably pisses off the judges that they have a duty to read these fucking fake ass letters. It supposedly is to show community support and…
These children and their adults were never taught empathy, instead, they are taught victimhood. They’ve been shown that their only power is to degrade those that are vulnerable, because of historical racism and power imbalances. It’s a serious deficit and one that will never be stopped without a drastic change in…
Racism is connected to this, because these kids are not taught empathy, which a good upbringing and education would teach them.
It’s like when his father tweets and frames his tweets as questions rather than statements. He’s seeking approval, yes, but also other people much smarter than him to make the case. All they can grasp is the faint insinuation that something more could be made of it, not the thing itself.
