I love John Oliver’s show. It’s really depressing seeing how the racists in the USA have become so normal. We have it here in the UK too but it’s not so blatant. I live on a little island on the south coast and when five Syrian refugee families were placed here the community welcomed them with a cross stiched banner…

Here’s the thing: criticizing (or mocking) Ingraham’s politics only affects her. Attacking her looks hurts every woman, inasmuch as every woman has pressure put on them to live up to the beauty standards set by men. Something Trump also doesn’t have to worry about, by the way.

I read the first one and didn’t enjoy it much but I think that was mostly the translator rather than the content (which I found interesting too also as someone who doesn’t know much about 20th century Chinese political history). I’d seen that the second book was translated by someone else so I’ve meant to pick that up…

I really enjoyed the first book (second is in the to-read pile), and while in many ways it’s a fairly typical technothriller th glimpse into the Cultural Revolution and its aftermath is fascinating for someone like me who knows very little of Chinese history and culture

Reading the book makes it abundantly clear that Cline, on a fundamental level, does not understand the concept of imagination.

Yeah, I can’t imagine the film editing is any good when they couldn’t even get someone to proofread the title crawl.

If you think these kids are doing this because they want to be famous, you very well might be more severely mentally ill than Nicolas Cruz.

You guys are all nuts. Let’s get some Severian up in here!

The film version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was so operatic and grandiloquent that it has effectively immortalized its place in film history. Whatever one’s opinion of its quality, it was a true fantasy epic that created a popular film-going audience for the genre almost out of thin air. Without that trilogy, it…

Great idea.

Or because Pence’s personal beliefs have more in common with someone who lived in the mid 19th century?

You forgot to tell us how many pushups you can do.

Thanks, I was really curious what the angriest teenager on 4chan thought of all this. Tell us more about your coffee dates with your favorite anime figurines.

No one who uses the word “mangina” has been a mature adult, ever. Grow the fuck up.

my female friends

she also sounded at times like a Jezebel blogger. Wearing a cleavage-showing tight blouse to the men.

Because people have different opinions than you? For example, I fucking loved The Last Jedi and felt it did a bunch of daring things, things that made a lot of fans mad, but were good for the franchise as a whole.

You’re upset because her clothing wasn’t sufficiently modest? Ew.

The level of hysterical outrage in your post is precious. Which Nazi-apologist speakers are invited onto campuses to talk precisely? Ben Shapiro? Jordan Peterson? Christina Hoff Sommers? Charles Murray? Milo Yiannopolous? Essentially: every goddamn speaker who doesn’t follow your far Left ideological purity test. Case…

Inara is not Mal’s ex. She does not have a relationship with him. She never had a relationship with him. Any relationship with him that Mal imagines them to have is based on a misguided sense of entitlement.
