You’re right, of course.

Yeah, the Queen gets a lot of shit, but honestly, her actions speak for themselves. Girlfriend was a truck mechanic in WWII, and she was actively discouraged from doing so, and did it anyway. I imagine she’s a fascinating person. If I recall, she also thought the monarchy should die with her, because it’s a bit…

That’s ridiculous. If you are suggesting for one second that women, when on equal terms with men and have an equal number of positions of power will act any differently than men, you’re nuts.

You do know there are/were women in exec positions at U of Michigan, USA Gymnastics, Miramax, NPR and I could go on. Women who did nothing , or actively enabled sexual assault.

Tell me one corrupt organization with women in charge of young men.

A thing that is worth mentioning perhaps: The references to food and essentially trading sex for meals is actually a rare glimpse (for Hollywood at least) into what a horrible time the 20's and 30's actually were. Not just in this country but across the world.

“I’d rather know who is a Nazi, rather than them acting like a decent person just to mask their awful true selves.”

Calling Medicare-for-all a “chip shot” belies a deep and fundamental misunderstanding of the American electorate.

This type of strategy (and thinking in general) is why we have such a polarized political atmosphere. You may think that the solution is to silence the other party and create an environment in which they are perpetually disempowered, but all that does is encourage them to do the same to you.

Honestly, I don’t even care how left or right - I just want fucking HUMAN BEINGS. I want public servants. I want people who are in office for the betterment of society as a whole - utilitarians. You show me one fucking US Senator who’s in it for the good of the people and I’ll show you a god damned liar. I don’t want…

His military-industrial complex address made that apparent.

The President-Elect surrounded himself with the Clinton Administration cronies and I said - here we go.

What are you talking about? Dr West has labeled the Trump administration a bunch of fascists etc., weren’t you paying attention? And if you think Dr West has dragged Coates, you should read some of the critiques aimed at Dr West by Michael Eric Tyson. Some of us conveniently forget Cornel was one of Barack’s earliest…

I would think that it’s because he’s not advancing a solidly left economic world view, and because West views him as being close to Obama who was definitely not an economic leftist.

I feel like at its core it’s a dispute about someone who has a more Marxist, anti-capialist worldview and views racism through that lens as well, and Coates (and also Obama) who are more centrist/liberal when it comes to economics.

They are cute cats. I call them the Wilfred Brimley cat.

i have two rescue dogs, so i’m a big supporter of animal rescues. i donate a lot of money and some time to the reputable rescues in my area. having rescue dogs is the right choice for me, because i just want pets.

‘What we really need is focused, considered examination of this social problem as opposed to what we’re seeing quite a lot of and what makes headlines and what sells newspapers: emotionally led, impulsive statement, which is gobbled up by people with phones. And consequently, the issue that’s at the heart of it will…

<Apologies in advance for the length of this.> I heard a really interesting interview on public radio a couple of years ago with a man who had transitioned from female to male. It was incredible how he described the way his thought patterns and behaviors changed as he began to take male hormones. He said, as a woman…

In the Harvey case, you’d be lying if you said you didn’t know that he had a terrible reputation. He was known to be a pig. [To Max] You heard that, too.
