Of course, the true “Springtime For Hitler” moment will come next November when the Republicans actually wind up winning the election, because of the fact that, sadly, ~40% of your country (which apparently is ~60% of the people who actually go out and vote) will vote Republican no matter who’s running.

I sincerely…

To be honest, I think that kind of control over your life from an employer is a little abusive too, even for politics. But if you’re happy, I guess, go for it.

I agree with you but I don’t understand why whenever someone refers to “sex sells” it’s always followed with a sadly or an unfortunately... We in America are so tightly wound around the concepts of sexuality and nudity that it gets funny after some time. Men enjoy seeing women nude or nearly nude, that doesn’t make…

I’v fucking had it with these magazines and media oulets referring to black and latina women as “so and so’s baby mama” - it’s racist af! They don’t refer to Nichole Kidman as Tom’s Cruise’s “baby mama” or any white woman who has a child with any white man of any level of fame.

I could plausibly see a teenager confusing the need for a public persona with phoniness. I think it’s also possible that she’s a nice, sweet person in public and an angry, bitter woman in private. Or, more likely, something in between the two. I think you’d have to be a lot closer to the situation to make that…

I love that excuse. It’s such a good way to admit that you’re an asshole and also leave your employees feeling really un-empowered.

That is one brilliant, terrific cover, capturing the myth, the violence, the domestic affective relationship between the viewers and the cast, everything. Brilliant.

It may be a minor point, but I’m glad that the “shatter” obliterates Cosby’s image and leaves the others relatively intact. It would seem unfair if the rest of the cast was defaced or vandalized.

This is true.

Bernie is basically america’s favorite hoody. A little worn out, totally worn in, too old to care about appearances, and an intrinsic statement on income inequality.

“Because of your distinguished career, you’re going to wind up looking silly if you keep going on like this.”

Because, you know, one can’t exactly discover a new place if nations of people were already living there for centuries.

The fuck?

A question from someone who lives in the UK: do most communities in the US celebrate Columbus on Columbus Day? I think I was always under the impression that it was basically an excuse for a long weekend where you could lie on the couch for 72 hours with one hand in a doritos bag and your other hand down your pants.…
