I think we overestimate how much cultural knowledge kids have at 13-14. In some ways and in some subjects they may have great sensitivity and depth of knowledge, but in other ways they’re still completely products of their environment and they can’t know what they don’t know.

So... I am embarrassed to say that I didn’t know the term “ch!nky” eyes was a racial slur until I was in COLLEGE. I had never heard that word used to refer to Asians (could be because there were almost none where I grew up). To me, it just meant when you squint when high - which is a total facepalm now. Like how did I…

I’m a radical leftist homosexual who has had an abortion. I still go and receive communion from time to time, because I still love Jesus (and he loves my gay ass!), and still find the sacrament of the Eucharist very beautiful. Meghan McCain can suck a butt.

I would say he’s less monetized stupidity as much as he’s monetized spite, but you can’t have that level of spite unless you’re pretty stupid. He wields grievance culture like a nuclear machine gun, and that’s built him an army of losers who are angry at everyone else for their station in life. His lack of remorse or…

“I’ve always been a Republican, but I have never been a politician,” he said on an episode of Tucker Carlson Tonight. “But you know, God came knocking on my door last summer disguised as an angry mob, and it really did wake me up.”

Just want to point out that as per Catholicism's position on original sin, the unborn are technically not innocent, since they haven't been baptized yet.

Would love to see Biden visit the Vatican and receive communion from Francis just to piss off these hypocrites.

Biden is doing exactly what he should: not allowing his beliefs, whatever they may be (and we have no idea about his personal stance ) to influence public policy of the government he was elected to run.

Cool, pull their tax exemptions.

Didn’t that happen to Michael Rapaport?

Agree. I think as well the article seeming to offer scientists a carte blanche seems somewhat strange. Look - I’m a scientist and I think science has made the world a better place, but scientists are also human, and some of them can be reckless, and some (all?) governments can also be reckless.

I rarely wish bad things on anybody but the world will be better off when Mitch McConnell is no longer in it.

I am be sexist but I’ll take her over Gaetz. I’ll not be sexist take her over

It feels like there are dueling narratives here and one has overtaken the other. The first, which is definitely true, is that Hill was a victim of revenge porn and other abuse from her former partner. The second, which seems to have gotten lost beneath the weight of the first narrative, is that Hill was accused of…

It’s kind of an old-timey word for effiminate... In the context I’ve usually seen it, I wouldn’t have thought of it as homophobic, but times change, I guess.

That’s probably the best apology of its genre I’ve seen and certainly comes across as sincere. Good on her.

I’ve been unemployed since March 2020 when Broadway shut down. My savings have dwindled because I still have bills to pay and any extra cash, I threw to student loans to help pay them down while they weren’t incurring interest. All that’s to say: I would kill to be yelled at on a movie set by a known crazy person if…

This is not what Gaby Hinsliff is saying in the Guardian.

“Are you alone?”

I don’t remember anyone lionizing Don Draper. He was an asshole. He did terrible things. Even when he tried to be good, he just couldn’t. But eventually we learned a little about his childhood, and what made him what he was.
