I loooooooved this show until it went completely off the rails with the fairies and werepanthers and whatnot. I still watched it until the end, but my love faded into a comfortable habit.

What a walk down memory lane — it seems so recent but so long ago! I was a diehard True Blood viewer. My friends would even get me True Blood swag as gifts, like a set of pint glasses brand with Merlotte’s, Fangtasia, and Bon Temps, LA logos. We had a blood-themed part for the series finale.

Why these Black men, in particular, allowed themselves to become race fodder, I don’t know,

Probably, but I thought the actual content mattered a bit more, such that full text made sense.

Thank you very much for that, it’s always good to have knowledgeable people around to correct false or biased statements.

Thank you, Whiggly, for a great response to the race inciting article.

I’m in favor of a pretty steep wealth tax (the GND proposal of a 70-something percent tax on every dollar north of $10 million is, I think, a great idea.) The larger issue is that Elon Musk is not standing in the way of the programs Bernie wants, and he’s far from the proximate cause of the perpetuation of these

Are you guys getting paid to shill for these “contests”,  where the main goal is for the company to collect personal information? It seems like these are posted like once a week now. I’d love for there to be someone who has actually won one of these things to step forward and talk about their experience.

You’re talking about the folks who think “billionaire” means they’ve got a billion dollars in the bank. I’m not sure they’re capable of that kind of nuance. 

That take is terrible.
Yes, billionaires are the product of a dumbass system, but humans are capable of doing multiple things AT THE SAME TIME ! I know, incredible.

We can do science, research, space stuff, ... AND tax people more intelligently as to redistribute the wealth and take care of humanitarian issues.

Where I live, a popular expression is “We’re all in this together”. It’s meant to be a sort of blessing or form of unity, but in reality, unfortunately, it’s more like a curse.
