THE CULTURE IS TRASH

You could also not give a shit what other people do with their bodies, cause, you know, they’re their bodies. Theirs. As in, not yours.

It’s not fixed by “dieting” but it is fixed by changing your diet.

Why?

lol no

Same. I agree, and they’re not only similar in those respects, I find it really distressing how some on the left seem to be adopting the tactics of those on the right. 

And what, may I ask, is your point? Like seriously though, wtf are you talking about?

Some sanity out here...thanks. 

You know what’s funny? A lot of men, myself included, are gleeful right now, because we love this character, because she’s awesome, and we’ve been waiting so long for her debut.

Oh shuuuuut uuuup. MOHAWK + HELMET CONFIRMED.

Except I didn’t say that--and Angela Basset and Viola Davis can’t play every notable black woman in movies and on TV. This criticism is stupid, and this conversation is ridiculous. 

Some are some aren’t--but I think our preoccupation with British actors has to do with the type of training so many of them have.

Their jobs are literally to pretend to be someone other than who they are. This is all getting a bit ridiculous. Maybe they picked her because she’s a fucking awesome…

None of this matters to Republicans. Vote in the midterms.

I was compelled to edit this comment, because frankly it really pissed me off—this “spending our money” attitude upstate New Yorkers have. Is it really your money? It’s not. New York City and the surrounding counties make up the vast majority of state revenue, thank you very much. It’s just like when it comes to…

I agree, well said. 

I’d heard her name here and there, but admittedly had my head pretty far in the sand while in law school from 2012-2015. But my point is, Tish James has been on the ground stirring up shit in NYC for a long time, Teachout has not. She tries her hat in the ring come election time but other than that...
