The university where I work gives everyone Election Day off and has for years, it’s absolutely fantastic.

Kinda makes this speech even more important. I will never understand how voters didn’t see Elizabeth was the one. This speech tonight was just brutal. That schoolmarm sterness when she says of Trump, “He failed miserably” is what drove fear into the Dem corporate donors. Warren trending along with Aunt Bee was the…

He’s 74 years old. It took them 44 years to catch him. Prison or death penalty, he’s escaped justice. 

Damn, can we celebrate one good thing? Shit, its a pandemic

Election day should definitely be a national holiday. If a person is needed at work tat day, they should be granted a day off with pay just before the election so they can take part in democracy.

It’s clean break and easier story if she’s a bad apple, I think, because anything more complicated would have to touch the systemic exploitation in the industry and implicates the culture that allows it and watches it with complicity. Like how does one watch college sports and agree that college athletes should be…

Slightly off-topic, but the Lolita thing is one of my biggest literary pet peeves. You can’t convince me that anyone who’s directed and/or produced the movie versions actually read and/or understood the novel which treats Humbert with the contempt he deserves.

On thinner bodies, the dress skews a tiny bit fascist.

Quite. I threw a chunk of money at a celebrity D&D event. It was a couple of hours and fully worth some money for my entertainment and in support of a good cause.

A short song... not worth it.

Being skinny is fascist now?

Conversions online are notoriously tricky!  The truth is most charity things attached to big celebrities - take a big gala evening - the donors are getting a LOT for their money.  They get to rub elbows with the celebrities, network with other donors, get their photograph in the glossy mags, experience a beautiful…

I suspect the *biggest* issue was a total failure of marketing* - nobody donated because nobody watched it because nobody knew about it because whoever was meant to spread the word either forgot or was bad at it.

Oh yeah. Lords was a victim who was lucky enough to escape alive. The fact that almost 40 years later society still wants to hang a “little slut who fooled us” sign on her says volumes.

I think there’s a good chance they only made $5,000 because 30 million people have lost their jobs and health insurance and probably don’t have any money to spare right now. 

Is that Madonna’s daughter in the video or a random child fanning her? Either way....wtf?

Joan also managed to snark UNICEF in that very special way only Joan can. 

I’m all for snark but come on, every single article I’ve seen on here lately is just shitting on people. The cast of Pitch Perfect (a movie I enjoyed, please don’t come for me) raised $5,000 for singing for a few minutes. They are literally (probably) at home doing nothing and they managed to raise $5,000. If I could…
