You would really need the context. I’m not a Groupthink member and don’t feel comfortable speaking for them. That said, my impression is that many of them felt — among other things — that it was creepy af for a much older man to get drunk and pose highly sexual conversations in what was supposed to be a safe space for…

Fyi, Chritter was stripped of his moderator duties at Groupthink a year or so (?) ago, and it was very ugly. Anyone who wants more information could probably go there and get a link to the owner’s note regarding the de-modding. I don’t believe he was banned as a commenter, but he chose to view it as such.

Too funny. For the first time ever, I’m growing tomatoes (and strawberries) along with the basil and other herbs in the container garden on my deck.

Your recipes are a lotta fun, man. Appreciate the educational notes. Why are vine-ripened tomatoes so nasty and mealy?

Bernie’s used to being disliked! He doesn’t have many friends in Vermont politics either. The three living D governors endorsed Hillary, as did the senior senator. The lone rep remained neutral. Poor Bernie’s best friend in Congress is some asshole Midwestern Republican who no one else likes either.

Why yes, I am incredibly disillusioned with the system in general.

On second thought, net positive is too strong. The Hyde Amendment is deeply fucked up and Clarence Thomas would not be on the Supreme Court if Joe Biden had done his job.

I agree with you. I just wrote a long comment to Hardcore U that I’d link to, but I’m on my phone. The upshot: I mostly like him. I just cannot bear the difference in press coverage/public esteem between him and HRC. That’s what drives me mad. Plus Anita Hill. I watched her testify in real time.

Psst. I generally like him too. What drives me crazy is the different press coverage and public opinion. I went over the edge recently when a couple of millennial women I know said they really wished “Uncle Joe” was running instead of Hillary. And that was before his letter to Emily Doe.

You kill me :)

Hey. I left a long comment in the grey. Would you mind looking for it, and it you think worthwhile, blacking it? Thanks!

Joe Biden’s reputation as a champion of women is wildly overstated and to a large degree undeserved:

He’s going to dye his hair, grow a beard and change his name. In three years, no one will remember.

Ruined is such a melodramatic and overused word. It’s so easy to throw around. Someone got bad publicity? His or her life is ruined. Such usage isn’t wrong given a flat dictionary definition of the word. But it suggests that the speaker is young, emotionally immature, has never endured a hardship in life, and has…

What is it? Or if you want to use mine, it’s kczbare.

Wtf is wrong with that other guy? Why is he riding you over nothing? What a jerk.

Hey doll. I am dying to ask a mutual internet acquaintance why he thinks BS wants to get rid of the superdelegate system when, up until yesterday, BS’s stated plan f0r a month now has been to persuade superdelegates to jump ship to his camp because he believed he stood a better chance of beating Trump.

Nick Denton and John Cook don’t seem particularly supportive of women. I think they would choose to direct GM’s discretionary funds elsewhere.

I tweeted Emma, Jia and Anna. Jez probably doesn’t have the resources, but who knows?
