Assuming it’s weed (and also come to think assuming that the friend is male) does seem generous. 

I’m thinking coke too. I’m guessing that very few 25 year olds would be too upset if their partner smoked some weed after they went to bed. If he smoked meth or shot up heroin, he’s got some bigger problems. 

Oh I know the counter, or counter-counter arguments, believe me. I’m not doing whataboutism, I’m just point out that, in the case of the Boston of the West Coast, they are correct.

White cis men have always benefited from the assumption of their inherent objectivity, largely because they were the ones who got to decide what it meant to be objective in the first place.

and then she remembered she’s a Republican and Queen of the Fucking Idiots and thought “ah go for it, what difference will it make”

true.

My point is that Katie Hill’s resignation is something we should credit Democrats for rather than blame Republicans.

While this is a great and funny line and I might use it in the future, I think the whole idea that believing in something very specific while taking for granted that it’s unprovable by design is a far weirder thing that having this sort-of vague feeling that there’s something bigger than us. Part of believing in what…

I was thinking of that exact thing. I remember reading an explanation of the “abortion is wrong because babies are people! But if they were conceived in certain ways, then I guess they’re not people” principle, and you put it pretty succinctly.

I really liked the bit where we he was like “other jobs wanna make sure I’m good at the job before they hire me, and as an actor, I just find that really annoying.”

Idunno, I feel like the Zero Dark Thirty people got quite a bit of flack for being CIA propagandists.  It’s debatable whether it did actual harm to Kathryn Bigelow’s career.  She’s only directed one film since, and it was a major dud.

This interview could be characterized as, “Look. They offered me work. Me! Work, in a movie! And, unlike my last job sucking truckers off in the parking lot of a Denny’s, this work was technically legal. I don’t think I asked any questions beyond ‘Do I have to run if the cops show up?’ And Jon Voight told me no.”

The rape and incest bit is really unsettling if you consider that the anti choice movement is based on the idea that a fetus is legally and morally the same as a person, rooted in religious ideas about the soul and the sanctity of conception. In that worldview, making an exception for certain fetuses is saying that…

Honestly, the takeaway I got from this was less “Jamie Kennedy isn’t woke enough” but “Jamie Kennedy gotta eat.”

I hate to ruin your good joke, but it usually means they favor abortion only in narrow circumstances (rape, incest, to save the life of the mother).

“I'm a centrist!" tends to be an easy way to admit one neither believes in nor actually stands for anything. At least that's how I've seen it used lately.

Dude, this third person crap was bad enough when Bob Dole did it. 

I think that some of that just stems from their sense of entitlement. When you live a consequence free life you don’t developp any skills in risk management.

The problem is that it is likely that Gaetz paid underage sex workers. That should not be destigmatized.
