I think a big part of the appeal of this show for me is that I would one hundred percent think about stabbing a mansplainer (but I don’t.)  Villanelle does it for me. 

I guessing you’re a dude. Ask any women, the answer is never “never.”

I know I’m getting old when I can remember Cage the  Elephant playing for a free gig at Western Kentucky University. Bowling Green, represent!!

This is why I gave up and bought a house on the Westside close enough that I can bike to work. I stayed at my mom’s in Marietta while I was getting some reno done before I moved and after just three weeks of spending ten hours a week in a car I was tearing my hair out (I’d been renting in Old Fourth Ward previously…

I’m so glad I got to watch this movie at an impressionable age. Seeing Lloyd as a dude who interacted with women as people helped shape what I would find acceptable in relationships with men in the future. I’d see female friends get paired off with controlling guys or ones who didn’t seem to think their opinions or…

I’ve accepted that it is the mission of each and every episode of this last season to make me tear up at least twice.

Fight this as hard as you can. I watched, mystified as they built a public-private partnership “flyover” toll-lane that allows that allows mouth-breathing, progessively-more-right-tea-party-candidates-supporting, SUV addicts who moved futher north of the the north Atlanta suburbs when those got too diverse (you know…

I was listening to a 2015 episode of the podcast “Good Muslim, Bad Muslim” where one of the hosts was talking about how freaked out she felt walking around her mostly white, mostly red-leaning, suburb town on “Open Carry Day.” Imagine if a significant number of black/brown people tried to participate. The streets…

That is a new element for S2 that made me excited to imagine the 12 being systematically foiled by a network of ladies of a certain age who have seen some shit and crafted some covert powers and pop up in the morgue or accounting or HR departments with the information to MAKE SOME SHIT RIGHT AND FIND AAAALLL THE BEST…

What’s even more enraging is that he was in and out of court while running for governor for a business deal he was being sued over.

I was just thinking the same thing about the worship of sports and the cathedral/stadiums that are almost always built in ways that fuck the poor as I read the latest Bitter Southerner post. I know paying attention and showing up is just the minimum but even that gets tiring. https://bittersoutherner.com/lightning-the-…

I help students find internships and I had one come back to me and ask if it was wrong when another male intern from a very wealthy private school had told her from our big public school that she should do all the admin tasks (filing, answering phones, etc.) associated with their internship. I told her her instincts…

I would pay money to watch Desus and Mero debate Tucker and *insert loathsome Fox talking head here.* Like, good money.

Their podcast, Bodega Boys, is fuckling ART.

I lived in northeast Spain for a while and in spring we’d have parties where they roasted a green onion called calçots—the parties were called calçotadas. Charred, tender and delicious served with ramescu sauce (ground hazelnuts, olive oil, red wine vinegar and garlic.) The eating outside and drinking wine in a box…

Maybe some marketing person was trying to tap some zeitgeist or some nonsense. The real story this was based on was/is (the reporter had heard rumors it was still happening!) so horrible that seems nearly inappropriate to compare a fictional retelling of something that actually happened with a sci-fi dystopian world…

Ain’t gonna be Knoxville. That’s a college town. Nashville and Memphis are pretty blue too. Gotta a find a place where people of color are pretty confined to the inside of a TV.

JFC, I was looking forward to waxing less after 50. Quit moving the goalposts, America.

Let us never lose sight that these folks hate Trump’s crassness but are pretty much 100% behind the policies coming out of his administration.

This was my issue as well, though I generally enjoyed the movie. I remember leaning over to a friend after Diana had tossed a tank or something at them and they kept coming, “Well, at least everyone has got to admit those Germans are really brave . . . “
