I loved it too!! It also really brought the focus to her gorgeous tiara. I think that maybe the dress looks better in video/when she’s moving.

Disillusionment in the Dems should move us to the left, not the right. That’s what really upsets me about black people acting like right wing tokens for these conservative media outlets/think tanks saying “Dems don’t care about you!” is that thought provoking. There are plenty of fair critiques to be made about Dems…

I don’t live there anymore, but my cousin is one of those teachers at the state house every day. (I send her sign ideas!) She says they expect this to go on for some time, because the legislators there have just dug in their heels, but they do expect to prevail. Thirty year old textbooks are just the tip of the…

I spent the whole day at our local natural history museum. Tonight there was a fundraiser for a Democratic congressional candidate in a district where a dem hasn’t held the seat in 150 and a serious candidate hadn’t been on the ballot in a long time. He’s a really good strong candidate. I’m not exactly hopeful but I’m…

Yeah, I feel like a lot of the “I’m going to do it so cheaply” people have never actually looked at the cost of anything (because I was totally that person). Example: buffets generally cost 20% MORE than a sit-down dinner. And by the time you buy all the crap to do stuff DIY, you could have just paid for the stuff and…

Especially a female family member because it’s always a woman’s job to care for children

It would be followed by ‘what about other family?’

It won’t.

I’m not sure I’d call higher ed progressive or family friendly, at least for women. None of the women I work with who are married or have children would probably say so. Academia is notoriously shitty about maternity leave—not that they don’t let you take it, but that women get seriously punished in their tenure…

I realize this is not as important, but I saw his film along with the other nominated animated shorts, and it was a half-finished pile of vanity crap.

It sounds kind of like you have less of a crush on him and more on how he substitutes for the parts of your life you find hard to deal with, if that makes sense.

Three Billboards was the most incoherent movie I’ve ever seen. For a movie supposedly about billboards, it lost the plot about 20 minutes in when Woody Harrellson’s wife shows up and she’s a 21-year old AUSTRALIAN who somehow birthed three children before puberty. Sam Rockwell’s Zaphod Beeblebrox was a more fleshed…

Goddamnit. Can’t these women see that even while toeing the party line and using sound bites pre-approved by “their side” that these men don’t give a shit about them? It was so uncomfortable even reading this account that I cannot bring myself to watch it (as someone who has been heckled in crowds before). Also, that…

That’s not self-deprecating. That’s a humble brag if ever there was one. They are not the same.

I’m not saying don’t hire former skiers. I’m saying don’t drop a former skier with basically no experience into one of the highest profile commenting gigs in the world. Because his voice is bad.

I was laughing about this last night with my girlfriend. I think it was the girl before Goggia’s run he was talking about how mediocre she was skiing and how slow she was going, her tuck wasn’t good, then she hit the split timer and she had the fastest time of the day. He immediately switched to how fast she was going…

My two favorite things about Bode Miller’s commentary are

Commentating is hard and a completely separate skill set than competing at a high level in a given sport so maybe NBC should have, I don’t know, hired professional commentators from the world cup circuit or had anybody with ears listen to Bode Miller’s voice in the past year since they hired him? Or at least asked him…

I honestly don’t think he has any of his own. His is the most unprincipled man I’ve ever seen. And I don’t even say this because I hate him, which I do, he just literally has no morals, principles or values.

He honestly thinks those other billionaire fucks are his friends and want to help him. It’s a hair more scary than it is sad.
