Agreed. Though I’m starting to suspect exploitation of the vulnerable for crotch gratification may be as universal as the law of entropy.

They come from a long tradition of brutal exploitation, so many people do not trust this new raison d’etre.

Right, zoos are just the main groups actively involved in animal conservation. But what do you really care about that? Oh right, you don’t care.

Fuck zoos.

You are so right. Also i think the risks are higher for animal keepers and handlers because their emotional attachment to the animals makes them a little too trusting.

Well, that’s just fucking awful. Just goes to show that wild animals, no matter how docile they may seem in captivity, are still wild animals, I guess. I feel for this woman and her family.

Kudos to you for writing an entire article about this film, about girls in New York City, including one named Lena, and not referencing...

It’s alot easier to understand when you’ve grown up in a household with violence and mental illness. We sometimes try to justify the behaviors of our own parents, even when we would never justify it happening to someone else.

The article isn’t stating that about The Jungle Book either. Read the article and not just the title: it’s stating that we need to place Kipling and the book in their proper context.

Right? The fact that her daughter was featured so prominently made me think it was probably telling her story with integrity.

Yeah, I was kinda giving the daughter side-eye at first...and then as more of the story unfolded and I realized what she had to live through, I was like, “Okay. Nevermind about judging you, I take it all back.” I can’t criticize the manner in which someone’s dealt with a life like that. Shit.

I’d like to meet your friend, Todd Fuck.

Who is “Grimes”?

As a mom of a child with autism I find it mind-boggling that parents of non neurotypical kids jump on the anti-vax wagon. Because the message of the whole movement is: “It’s better to risk the life of your child than to wind up with one with autism”. It’s so unbelievably disloyal to your children. My son is perfect…

I gotta tell you, I would care if someone was green or purple. Sick or choking people are something to care about.

A few years ago I was starting a company and I got some advice that I should get a staunchy looking old white guy to partner with me to ‘look the part.’ So I commenced with interviewing those well-qualified to fill that roll, I didn’t specifically ask for old white guys but when you say you’re hiring a CEO for a…

Literally exactly what I was thinking

She does have a black friend! Or maybe it was Ramona? Or Sonja? Luanne maybe? Pretty sure it was Carole, she downtown!

One of these days, some person will say some insensitive shit about race, and won’t include the hypothetical green and/or purple people in their sorry-not-sorry, or just not-sorry in this case, response and I’ll think to myself, “Progress!”
