Ok, white guy, talking to all the other whites: Yes, I have opinions on both TheRoot’s portrayal of both Taylor Swift and Dwayne Johnson. But you know what, you’re not going to hear them here. Because I have no right to question the validity of Mr. Harriot’s or Ms. Branigin’s perspective in this space. Neither do you.…

“Hey, Thank you. Just. Thank You.”

He’s not wrong, per se. But what grade level would you consider his understanding? 4th? 6th? Certainly not 9th. I’m talking actively enrolled 9th grader, B- student, not someone trying to remember 9th grade fifty years later.

THANK YOU! The active service is appreciated as well.

Ok, but that one Asian dude just giving the peace sign? I want his story.

This joke I made is getting increasingly thought provoking.

I have no idea who that is, although I am checking it out right now. My original statement was more, do you think Aparna Nancherla thinks Twitter was a good idea, or just a necessary evil?

I’m not too proud to admit that you are correct.

What good has ever come out of Twitter? Has anyone ever walked into the twitter-verse, and come out thinking, “I’m glad I did that.”?

Time is an illusion that helps make things make sense

Ohh shit. They made a third one? I literally can't finish II, it breaks my heart too much. Now I guess I have to.

When I visited Trump Tower in the nineties, I remember riding the now infamous elevator, and hearing the Gwen Stafani (no, I’m not looking up how to spell that) version of If I Were a Rich Man. Which is objectively hilarious, but I imagine TSwift is exactly the kinda thing they pump into his lobby.

Let’s put it this way — Doctor Who shows up in 1450, in the Caribbean Islands. Has a wacky adventure, meets a plucky young companion, they have many adventures together. For whatever reason, this companion earns the right to alter the timeline just one time. They’ve seen 2018 New York City, and 1850 Georgia plantations…

I wasn’t old enough to vote when Clinton got impeached. And Splinter is pretty critical of the Clintons and Biden for the Anita Hill thing. So what are you mad about? Or is being mad just too much fun for you?

Mine eyes have seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the Grapes of Wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible sword:
Up against the wall, MFers!

So, while I’m confident I’m reasonably plugged in, and half-way intelligent, if we can have a multi-part series on war crimes, can we also have an in depth look at what counts as acceptable protest?

Keeps it warm.

I know I’ve asked it before, but why is this happening on Twitter?

Yeah, I feel like you’re emphasizing the first part, the ‘don’t hate her cause she hasn’t had money forever’, when the other person is emphasizing the difference in the spending habits of people who are used to wealth v those who aren’t. I grew up in bougie coastal Mass, and two of the signifiers of wealth are heavily…

Ah, Squee... *tears up*
