We’re on the AV Club — we’re talking to over 90% white people.

Tragically, that part does make some sense, in that children who have been molested often see and use sexual behavior in horrible, inappropriate ways because of what they’ve been “taught” by their abusers. Somehow King managed through his layers of denial and coke frenzy to tap into something genuinely hideous and…

Which is weirdly on the nose, as it would be so nice to believe it isn’t the people we’re taught to love who hurt us, but rather something that temporarily takes them over before they return to “normal”. Maybe a child would believe that of people who abuse us (as adults or children).

It’s the foot nudging that sold it as True Love.

The hallmark of True Detective is the palpable dread that comes through in Season 1 and the best episodes of Season 2. I think this new director and a sympathetic actor in the crosshairs will be a return to Season 1 form.

“It’s not just about what is morally and ethically right, it also makes sense just from a fiscal standpoint,” [Harris] said.

Republicans are such fucking dumbshits.

Agreed. And I think that’s where the most pushback to the idea of being unable to consent comes up.

It’s not stupid or morally corrupt to prefer sane republicans to insane alt-right sympathizers.

I disagree with a lot of what he’s said/done (vetoing gay marriage, come the fuck ON Arnold), but most of his toxic beliefs are on positions where, if you strain REALLY hard and look with your good eye, you can see nuance there. Still disagree, but I can maaaaybe see the other side.

You know it’s bad when you kinda wish Romney was president.

I said the same this morning about that NYTimes OpED by Flake about immigration. I think that guy is terrible but if a US Senator writes an OpED in a national newspaper that seems so heartfelt and makes so much sense well: “well done Senator Flake”

At this very moment on this question Arnold is standing on the correct side.

In his head it probably played out like a movie with Ms Bro stopping the funeral and telling everyone to be quiet so they could all huddle around the phone adoringly listenening to Trump

As you note, Arnold has never been what one might call a progressive. He has some pretty toxic beliefs, in my opinion. So for someone like him to make a video like this speaks volumes about just how messed up things are in the US right now. I’m gonna go ahead and say something I never thought I would say: “well done,…

Hey - I’m intrigued - I’ve never heard of the APA or the Goldwater plan -

Jared and Ivanka must see and hear what the people Donald is defending (everyone should see this; it’s the most unvarnished coverage of what happened this weekend)

I actually don’t know why they haven’t done that.

What’s your question?
