There is almost nothing you can do with a gay teenage character in the 70s or 80s that isn’t depressing.

I didn’t see this right away and I called Dr. Hern’s office to ask how I could donate money directly to the practice. I had a fifteen-minute conversation with Dr. Hern himself. In addition to being a hero, he is a very humble and cool guy.

“it’s because they feel like your abstaining is a judgment on their not abstaining”

I am looking forward to this. Maybe not as much as I looked forward to another fictionalized depiction of modeling many summers ago,

Though the De Anza case didn’t go “viral,” it speaks, perhaps, to the contradictions of a judge who campaigned as tough on sexual predators and a vocal advocate of victims.

2016 America: Where a 12-year old boy is shot and killed by the police for playing with a toy and it’s his fault because he should have “known” that people would see him as a threat, while a full-grown adult who rapes an unconscious woman and tries to flee should only have to endure a couple months of jail because…

I thought people liked it! I thought it had become a thing! No?

I supported Bernie Sanders during the primary, but I am starting to turn towards Hillary. Trump makes George W. Bush look like a foreign policy expert. I liked Bernie’s ideas and I hope that Clinton adopts some, but I will stand with her as the next president of these United States. Whoa, that felt weird to write. But…

Its why I’m optimistic. There are two Hilary Clintons: the intelligent and capable woman and the sleazy duplicitous liar of right and left wing fantasy. She’s constantly underestimated until people actually see her in action.

When the debates come around and Trump actually has to share the stage with the genuine…

What I find the most disturbing about TrumpsterFire is his sheer lack of intellectual curiosity. He literally takes pride in his ignorance and figures he can bluster his way through. People voting for him are essentially going to a surgeon who's training coasted of a few games of Operation.

Brilliant. Clinton is so much better than she’s given credit for. She’s intelligent, thoughtful, and experienced. She’s made mistakes, but so have we all. Plus, she’s learned from them, which unfortunately cannot be said for Trump.

I can see the basis for complaint. Women didn’t even exist until the 1960s, so it’s really a disservice to cover them at all. It is a history podcast, after all, and history was written by us white men.

Well, he is a self-proclaimed billionaire that won’t release his taxes to prove it.

I remember watching an episode of Mad Men where Don and family go on a picnic, and when they’re getting ready to leave, Betty just casually flips the blanket and leaves all the food wrappings and garbage on the grass, while Don pitches his beer cans into the bushes.

I’m sure. Teenagers smell really bad.

“always thought that was a disrespectful line in the song anyway”

about, oh, i guess it would be 18 or so years ago, when TMNT was the hot plastic junk craze at christmas, my boyfriend had spent the entire run-up to the holiday pleading for a donatello figure, but his mother didn’t have the money, so she asked his wealthier uncle. the uncle, who is to this day surly, single, and…

That’s a bit of an overreaction. I don’t think the comment was condescending.

This. He is, at best, a predatory, narcissistic, callous creep of epic proportions; at worst he is a fucking child molester. Either way, not the kind of person I would knowingly work with under any circumstances.
