I’d like to take this moment to remind everyone that it all started going downhill for Boston when Lauren Theisen referred to them as the ‘Tics.

Ummmm. Yes? It was a great movie. I can’t wait for the sequel.

So...are there people who have heard of and actually seen the first movie...?

“AM I COOL YET???”

Nope, no 10K Maniacs. Ironically, it’s all Kate Bush and Tori Amos mix tapes. He just doesn’t understand the lyrics. Go fig.

Thank god he has tapes! I hope he has 10000 Maniacs Our Time in Eden, because mine is about worn out.

The entire way this country works is by convincing white people that they are the underdogs in their own personal movie. That anyone that is different is just like the baddies in every action movie they’ve ever watched where one white guy slaughters an arm full of brown people. And that we’re all just waiting for the…

Ikea is my Disney World, with meatballs and lingonberry sauce.

That being said, she quickly added, “If you’ve already got the flu, I’m gonna pray for you right now ... flu, I bind you off of the people in the name of Jesus. Jesus himself gave us the flu shot.”

I know a couple of guys with experience in dealing with Illinois Nazis.

Obligatory response.

Obligatory:

I have been in a rage about the attacks on the judge for 24 hours now. A) it’s beside the point, B) you come off as defending the feelings of a serial molester/rapist, C) there’s plenty of judges out there looking out for men, don’t worry, D) his letter and statements about the impact on his mental health proves that…

Important point because people are attacking the judge. When he had already admitted guilt and she was no longer at a point where she had to give him that benefit of the doubt.

Quick point of information: It wasn’t a trial; Nassar pleaded guilty in November. This was a sentencing hearing.

Yep. But the maternal excusal of molestation and attraction to klan-flavored self-proclaimed Christians is sort of a package deal. In their world: all blacks (except that one they like) are niggers, all girls are sexable, and all white men are just one lucky break from being a billionaire. Those women try to get in on…

“There’s a lot of pressure on women to always be the ones to set the boundaries and then enforce them, and no one really teaches you how. And it definitely seems that no one teaches men how to be considerate that you are in this confusing and stressful position.”

Ansari’s behavior, as it is described in the article, is fucking awful and ordinary. So many men learn how to perform sex by watching porn, itself a performance of sex that for the most part treats women like props.

Everyone is also ignoring that he physically intimidated her - she talks about how he followed her around the apartment and crowded her, how she felt like she couldn’t get away from him. Sure, when she tried to leave he didn’t stop her, but based on his behavior she had no guarantee that he was going to. She knew when…

we’ve been at enthusiastic consent. if someone asks you to back off and then you’re right back at it shortly later, i.e. you’re pressuring someone into contact with you, that’s fucking coercion and you need to get. a. goddamned. clue.
