I had read that MacBride was head of this stare’s libertarian party, and that Rose left the copyright to him under the understanding that the proceeds were to go to the party.

He also didn’t always pay his rent. One time (I think in Desmet, SD) he made the family pack up in the middle of the night and bail because he didn’t pay the rent, and didn’t want to get arrested for it.

You mean like not paying the rent, and bailing in the middle of the night? Yeah, he wasn’t so great, Laura’s idolization not withstanding. Of course, I’m also not a fan of Laura’s daughter’s libertarian edits of the entire book series (she took out most of the references of the communities cooperating and helping each

Her heart may be in the right place, but the logistics trouble me. 50 rooms isn’t a lot. And in Detroit, so only the people who can afford to own a car and drive from Flint to Detroit will be able to take advantage of this.

I’m married to a professor, and was appalled, hearing how many of his female colleagues would get student evaluations that rated their looks and their breast size. I’ve vehemently said, since 2005, that student evaluations are worthless.

I think you mean “...white men have taken credit for more achievements in history than all other races and genders combined.”

Oh, hell fucking, NO! NO reboot. Maybe a sequel about grown up little brother becoming the next goblin king, maybe. Even then I’m skeptical.

Which one? My sister was at Bob’s Pizza + in the mall, and I worked at several different stores. My favorite part of the interaction she had with my sister was that McDowell FREAKED OUT because the crazy bread wasn’t ready. It was going to be ready in 5 minutes, but that wasn’t enough for her. She went full on “Do you

Hmm. She’s gotten slightly better. She was a rude bitch to my sister at the mall in Missoula that we both worked at, and she would do weird shit to get attention when she was there.

It is wrong that Ms. Wallace isn’t getting the credit, and it is never too late to try to rectify that. I don’t think that complacency in the face of this, or any wrong, is a good tactic. I will always comment on anything referencing “the Bechdel test” and request that we call it what it should be called, as per Ms.

Can we PLEASE call it the “Bechdel-Wallace Test”? Ms. Bechdel has repeatedly asked that we call it this. Her friend, Ms. Wallace, came up with the test. Ms. Bechdel then used it in her comic. Let’s not erase Ms. Wallace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_t…

We’re never going to do anything about this. We couldn’t even get our shit together to take care of it when the victims were elementary school students and staff. Sandy Hook was the moment I realize that were fucked on this issue, forever.

I didn't realize that Oklahoma City is a world Capitol.

I watch Love, Actually every year, and I make sure to watch all the deleted scenes. I wish they’d come up with DVDs that would allow insertion of deleted scenes in the places in the films where they would have been. Secondhand Lions is another one with deleted scenes that really add to the story.

When you get to childish celebrity encounters, I’ll tell you about Andie McDowell when she lived in Missoula, MT.

I’ve been hoping someone else was going to mention Journeyman. If I didn’t see it, I was going to mention it.

Yes! Also on Netflix.

I have an extended family member die from AIDS, caused by HIV. FUCK THESE FUCKERS. I’m slightly livid now.

Every conference I’ve gone to where people bring babies and older children, the back of the conference room becomes a makeshift play area, with blankets and toys strewn about, and children making noise. It is a HUGE distraction and disrespectful to everyone else there who is trying to concentrate on what is going on,
