My device is way too helpful and that spelling is apparently in the autocorrect and I picked it up too late to edit thanks

Pregnant women: the only people that can literally be cut open without consent and with little recourse. Honestly, I don’t care if the fetus is about to die. Its still your body. You should be able to decide whether you want to be stabbed in the gut.

You should check out George Lakoff’s work applying cognitive science to politics. They really are structurally different.  

Why are you spelling Denzel like that?

men are allowed to be dark skinned in Hollywood I guess.

They are authoritarians. Any kind of need or weakness is a moral failing. Their worldview is based on a dominance/submission paradigm and the idea of radical individualism. If someone is unable or unwilling to survive as a radical individualist, they are a sponge weakening the strong. It’s profoundly ugly and…

There’s some evidence for that actually. I don’t have the research in front of me but offhand I believe conservatives have more negativity bias (they are more likely to remember negative things and place more emphasis on negative memories) and conservatives have stronger disgust reactions.

I think there have been a bunch of studies lately, including some fMRI ones, that show that their brains are, indeed, different. I wish I could remember some references....

Republicans, at their core, are selfish (if not evil).

The one thing that I’m glad has come out of the past few years is how it’s stripped the GOP of any veneer that they were ever anything but a bunch of hateful monsters.

I’ve made this comment a kajillion times already, but I think kajillion+1 is ok. This was never about politics or ideology or education or economics or even race. These are fundamentally damaged people. They are subhuman, literally less than human. We are witnessing the devolution of man in real time.

It has to be. It’s deficient. It’s missing something. Whatever exists in the brain that facilitates empathy, they don’t have it.

They could’ve used Richie from Family Matters. #JustSaying

I don’t understand the conservative mind. I think it must be fundamentally different than mine on a structural level.

This article is spot on. Couldn’t have said it better myself. Back in the day Sidney Poitier was the ‘one’. For a hot minute, it was Denzel, then Will, then Jamie. As much as I like C. B. and as much as I’d want to see this movie, I just can’t. The contrast and ridiculous casting choice is too jarring.

Ughhhh. Hate that dude.

Ignoring reality even though L.A. is half Latinx. I used to read women’s fitness mags and it took me a while to realize that the reason why so many WoC on the covers are older and established in their careers (often for decades if black), is because the publishing industry wants a “sure thing” while putting…

Good point.

This casting is just as bad as Zoe Saladana in face paint and a fake nose to play Nina Simone but men are allowed to be dark skinned in Hollywood I guess.

Imma just leave this right here for you, Hollywod.
