“Donald, it is agony for those who are forced to watch you. Bring back Barack Obama, funnier and a far greater talent!”

A friendly reminder that in the last trade war which occurred under Bush Jr, 200 000 Americans lost their jobs and the US lost, as usual. Now take a loser like Trump, who has never once run a successful company, and put him in a trade war situation! Let’s see if he can top Bush Jr’s 200k jobs lost! The first part is…

I’m reminding my Trump-voting coworkers that their beer comes in aluminium cans. “You like him enough to pay more for beer?”

That Alec Baldwin tweet throws me off a bit. I know the original that had “Dying” spelled as “Dieing” was deleted. I can only assume a staffer wrote the second by the copious use of commas.

I can’t stand Diane Keaton. Woody Allen advocacy aside, I absolutely cannot tolerate her flustered, stammery “acting.”

Candice Bergen? Yes! Jane Fonda? Definitely! Mary Steenburgen? All day long, please!

She is classless... and also wrong. Mexican women come in all shapes and sizes.

Too late, she already vulture’d that culture.

Yes, exactly, we are expected to look in a certain way.

can you tell me what the hell a “box body” is??? what does it even mean??

what? i wish it were 2008!

A lot of white people can’t identify racism in the world or in themselves, so are we surprised that they can’t spot it in Trump? If there aren’t burning crosses, white hoods or flagrant use of the n-word involved, they just can’t be sure if someone is racist “in their heart.”

This has been one of the singularly good maxims to come out of the excellent “Yo, is this Racist?” blog, to wit: tolerance of racism, willingness to overlook it, willingness to enable it by not resisting it, downplaying its existence or effects, or willingness to normalize and legitimize it by not denouncing it loudly…

Yeah uh we use pig heart parts in human heart transplants because their bodies are so similar to ours. Why draw the line at dogs? What about horses? Cats? Rodents? Birds? Fish? Those are all animals people keep as pets. As are pigs, sheep, goats, cows, deer etc etc. What makes dogs so different? If eating any meat is…

Pigs are just as clever, affectionate, expressive, curious and playful as dogs. There is nothing in the world pigs love more than having their tummies scratched. They get this look of pure bliss on their faces

You could argue the same for any kind of meat. It’s funny how different societies arbitrarily see some kinds of meat as okay and others as not. A friend of mine was horrified when I told her that one of my grandfathers farmed rabbits for meat. There are Peruvian paintings of the last supper where one of the dishes is…

Why is it zero sum? I care about both. I don’t eat meat as well. Caring about horrific conditions for dogs in Korea is not hypocritical in any way.  

I wonder how Americans would feel if a bunch of Hindus came to their country protesting the eating of beef.

It is hypocritical for us to arbitrarily care so much more for dogs in these horrible intensive farming situations, than we do for the pigs and cows and chickens, who feel just as much pain, in farms here at home. That being said, I cannot WAIT to see Game Changers - the movie.

+1 good guy with a gun.
