I will vote blue no matter who of course. But I will always hold a grudge against those who brought this woman down because she dared to tell us the truth that M4A will not be done overnight and will cost a lot in both money and massive job displacements.

Folks stay big mad at HRC. Never been a fan of hers but her treatment has made me recognize how the U.S. really rolls. She has a resume that if you remove the name at the top, it would be universally praised but it is what it is. Thanks National Enquirer.

Ultra low-rise are ridiculous, true, but I would give anything to be able to find a variety of mid-rise or “slightly” low-rise jeans.

unfortunately there is very little on the market that is actually a byproduct... most leather comes from animals never eaten, because it’s cheaper than figuring out a way to recycle the pelts (if you’re the meat producer). It’s not really any different in this sense than mink (maybe in the future though...)

Sure, there were legitimate criticisms of Harris’ record as a prosecutor. But here is where the hypocrisy really bothers me. Sanders spent almost the entirety of the 1990's voting for a series of “tough on crime” “mandatory sentencing” bills, not just the 1994 Crime Bill that his supporters try to explain away. He…

I think it’s also important to remember that 10-12 years ago, no one was available for constant texting, Facebook messaging, or video chatting. We’re now all suddenly supposed to be expected to drop everything for anyone the moment they reach out through any channel (and there are many!).

Spotlight won an Oscar for telling the story of how the Boston Globe reporters had to fight against politicans, the Archdiocese, attorneys, etc.  to get the story of the Catholic Church covering up the abuse of children.

But he already wrote that story. He won a Pulitzer for it. This was the one about how other powerful men enabled abusing women and tried to silence his work.

It seems pretty clear to me that in the course of reporting the Weinstein story - which was presumably first a piece for NBC TV, which by necessity morphed into a print article when it moved to The New Yorker - a second story started to emerge. It’s literally in the title of this book, “Catch & Kill.” Killing Farrow’s…

I have not read this book. But it sounds from the review that this is just not the book on the matter that Megan wanted to read. I’m sure, however, it’s exactly the book that Farrow set out to write.

The book is about NBC killing the story and Farrow trying to get it published.

In short, yes, and as a lesbian, it’s a view that I’ve seen expressed (almost invariably by non-lesbians) more often than you’d think. That being said, the general consensus amongst people, trans and cis, who are not either predatory or going out of their way to be lesbophobic and/or play weird “gotcha” games with…

Yup, basically its very complicated topic fraught with pitfalls for everyone involved. So the tendency of some to see everything as black or white with us or against us is REALLY not helpful on this topic.

This is classic TERF/transphobe tactics: find the most extreme possible example, get someone who is casually ok with trans folks to go along with it, and then try to portray them as agreeing with you. Hillary Clinton has actually worked to measurably improve trans lies, I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt…

“medical emergency” (read: one of the obese passengers had a heart attack)

Why is this show “deeply problematic?” I am assuming it has to do with whiteness, as this is how white people code for “too many white people”

No he still hates it haha. The changes to the story king loved were too much for him and I agree. First, the movie makes Jack seem crazy from jump which is not what King intended at all. Also at the end of the book Jack has a moment of redemtion he doesn’t get in the movie. And, he completely destroys he character of…

Meditation, huh?  It really can cure all, maybe. 

I wouldn’t even call the babe article “allegations of sexual misconduct” there was nothing legally actionable there. Using this language to frame the whole narrative makes it about “sexual assault” (which the narrator was clear didn’t happen). It was never about that for me personally (and I think most people?), but…

Bombs dropping all over
