Admittedly, I do possess an incremental sympathy for the white people who perhaps have been mischaracterized as shitty and self-destructive trash.

Too many Democrats are up for reelection in vulnerable states for that to be viable. And the general public hates petty obstruction. I agree I want to see some fight and fire and action. But I also want it to be something that’s helpful in the long-term.

Another factor in all this that hardly ever gets mentioned is that Garland wasn’t a particularly popular choice. People talk about Garland as the gold standard because they have to. But it was another flawed tactic because going to0 hard for him would have seriously pissed off the civil rights community and the…

I don’t love the shoe choice. And I still think a bolder lip would be divine. But classic black does the trick!

Truth.

Twice, actually. And extra points for his hyperbole in general.

This is the most dangerous post on the internet.

Of course it was political theater. That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t have gotten riled up about it, but I have absolutely no problem believing this.

Well, I guess that’ll leave the rest of us to get to work.

I don’t know. You’ve got to be pretty privileged to not have some faith in social movements and general societal progress. My parents and grandparents lived through the Jim Crow south to see their children rise to the middle class. My existence is science fiction to my enslaved ancestors. It’s not really worth my…

Just to be clear, this dude thinks it’s more appropriate to go on a profanity-filled, nonsensical rant about Democrats rather than the incredibly easy option of disavowing someone he says he doesn’t like anyway. Or the other incredibly easy option of saying nothing. And the Democratic voters in his district probably…

Weirdly, I was randomly reading about the Harlem Renaissance yesterday (rabbit hole) which included the poet Sterling Brown. I have zero percent faith in this dude knowing who that is.

I’m not a huge fan of pie, but I dig cobblers. I love the messiness of them and that hat the cobbler is more cake-like.

I’d be most concerned about my contacts’ information. And my Lyft app has a lot of information about my whereabouts that law enforcement doesn’t just get wholesale access to if they’re looking for info about someone else. Otherwise, it’ll finally be revealed to law enforcement how often I enter the Hamilton lottery,…

I don’t think they ever got the pacing right after season 1. There’s no moderation. I wouldn’t mind so much if they actually used the time well. It’s like reading a Laurell K. Hamilton book at this point.

That sounds as productive...

Ha! I wouldn’t be surprised!

I don’t know. Magistrate judges are chosen by the bench. It’s an interesting alternative.

Totally agree about the pilot. They’ve been trying and mostly failing to capture that vibe for ages. That it led to Carl Poppa seems a fair tradeoff.

I’m a few shades darker, but that color works on me. It’s a little heavy for her, though.
