Shame. Sadness. Disgust. But lots of shame and sadness. Also fear and introspection.

I just love that he used the elbow. It’s a really nice move. I never get tired of watching that.

This shit is an epidemic. It’s like people who say they “love” the kids they abuse. Fuck those people. You are what you do. If you do shitty things, that’s just the shit inside you expressing yourself.

In Pullman?

Veteran’s Park. Alongside statues dedicated to Union soldiers.

He posted a thoughtful video about it on his Facebook page. As he says there, it’s troubling to have statues honoring these men on the same grounds that used to be one of the largest slave markets in the country.

“You’ve got your black people, and you’ve got your niggers. You’re a black person, though.”

Truth.  

This movie was manipulative as hell but I fucking loved it. Plus, it had Chad Radwell as John Glenn.

I think I see what you’re saying. What I’m driving at is that there is the “standard” of that language, which is generally abstract and based on what is considered “proper,” and then there’s how people actually speak and write. The standard is typically defined by people with social and political power. So, in China,…

Do you know many foreign languages? Have you ever spoken French in Montreal and Paris? Very different. I teach Chinese at a large public university. I’m fluent, but I’m constantly impressed with the differences in “standard” Mandarin on the mainland, in Hong Kong, and in Taiwan. Which is standard? I guess it depends…

Who works at Evergreen State and fights diversity initiatives? Go work for Pepperdine.

I say prehistoric cave sex or no sex at all...

I thought, too, that Littlefinger sees the dagger he gave to Bran suddenly in the hands of someone truly dangerous. As Bran said, “It’s wasted on a cripple.” Bran not only didn’t accept his “gift,” but sees it put to use by someone who is deadly as fuck.

Nah. That’s Chastain in Cannes this year.

Geography question from someone who grew up in the area: What’s a Campbell cop doing pulling people over on 101 in East/South San Jose? Campbell is like, a half hour away from 101 with traffic. It hugs 17 going to Santa Cruz. Was he in Morgan Hill for lunch or something?

Seems like most of King’s books are so long, they should all be a short series. I started the audio book of It a while back and that fucking thing has taken over my life.

Noah’s Mill if you’re into smooth. If you like a little heat, Rowan’s Creek. Both very solid. 10 year old McKenna is also really good. It’s almost buttery.

Four fat racists in a pickup? Just spitballing here...

Yep. The existence various forms of slavery in Africa does nothing to negate the savagery and terror of chattel slavery. It’s a stupid fucking comparison.
