My favorite thing about these people is that, in the Bush years, they were threatening violence on anyone who didn’t kiss American soil every morning for the privilege of living there. Literally - like my coworker who told me in so many words (he being a big angry dude and me being a much smaller female person) that…

RIGHT?! As someone who took $20 from my mother (offered, not stolen) in order to eat something besides two-minute noodles just last week, people just don’t fucking get it. Most poor people I know hate themselves because they HAVE to borrow money for food and medicine and just live with the crushing shame. Of course I…

Once again, teachers are getting assigned other people’s homework.

As a white person, I feel we CONSTANTLY keep on stepping when we see acts of oppression, racism or brutality. I think what this article/essay does is suggests that ... POC treat us the same way we treat POC. Which really fucks with the white supremacy narrative. Perceived equality? Madness!!

The backlash against nerdy dudes in thick rimmed glasses overpraising the “raw emotion and complexity” of thin, depressing indie rock involves overpraising big-time pop star production. It’s just a series of competing over-corrections, straight into the void.

Yes ... and also, “no”.

Wypipo - come get your uncle or your Pastor or your accountant, Matt, in these grey comments please.

He conceded I was right

Except Bernie’s wasn’t fiction, because the world *IS* treating his target audience unfairly. Largely that’s the poor and the young, but you can basically extend that to everyone who isn’t rich. Trump is the only one who used the populist rhetoric you’re talking about.

This is what I keep coming back to too. It’s not just the use of the n-word, though I think that was egregious in a way that really does need to be discussed and debated (since people don’t seem to get it), but it was the whole freaking “joke.”

Today I dropped my kid off at animation camp with a guy who was lead animator on Bob’s Burgers. He asked my kid who his favorite character was (Louise) and I offered, unprompted, that mine was Tina. He replied that he wasn’t responsible for Tina, and he had originally drawn Tina as a boy. I THEN SPENT HALF AN HOUR…

I’m glad the rest of the world is finally figuring out he’s a 61 year old edge lord with nothing meaningful to say.

Have you considered the actual Left? We’re better.

Right. And of course the top comments about the situation on Jez are liberals rushing to smell their own farts and talk about “how out of line” Griffin was as if three alt-right trolls didn’t just FUCKING MURDER minorities and white anti-racists within the span of one week.

This Kathy Griffin situation has had me seething and is a prime example of why I’m hesitant to identify as a liberal/Democrat despite my politics aligning with them.

Joanna, your “set” made me snort three times. I’d ring a gong or turn my chair around or whatever for you.

This is terrible. I laughed.

Obviously.
