From an outsider’s perspective, it feels like absolutely everything in the US is calibrated to ensure workers are completely dependent on their employers for survival, so they’re nice and compliant. 

^^COTD, right here!^^ I couldn’t agree more with what you’ve said. 

Oh man, he had a little hip dip movement at one point and I may have screamed out loud. 

anybody just want to commit a mass suicide bc this earth just ain’t my bag these days

This season was a total misstep. I feel asleep watching it more than once. Gavin Leatherwood (aka Nick Scratch) is a very talented actor with charisma and charm to spare, and they WASTED him this season. I get the PTSD, believe me, but when that PTSD is mostly him sulking and moping? Nah. And Caliban was a neat…

If I had fuck-you money I would absolutely wear nonsense like this. 

On the basis of the fact that these shoes remind me of Voltron, they’re okay.

Do they though? That’s a bit antiquated. 

I also think it looks like something the fictional pop star Powerline from A Goofy Movie would wear, and everyone knows that character was loosely based on Prince.

As is my usual response on “Is This Shoe OK?”: Nope, fugly.

Scarlett Johansson’s already up for the role of Lydia in the film adaptation.

On the slim chance that Jeanine Cummins is reading this: There’s still time to make it right! You can’t go back in time and not write your book, nor can you go retroactively spend time with actual migrants for material. What you can do is donate some of your advance (and money earned from subsequent editions) to…

But Bernie has also been essential towards getting a new generation of Democrats elected to office. I know some of it is at the expense of other Democrats that don’t meet his purity tests, but it’s inarguable that for better or worse, people like AOC are inspiring younger generations far more than the Hillary-backed…

If only voters had a say and could choose from a dozen-and-a-half candidates.  So sad that Joe Biden will be forced upon said voters.

Uh. Given that Warren is polling less than Bernie, it’s Warren that’s dividing the progressive vote and helping Biden. In this equation, the only people actively hurting Biden are people campaigning in his lane, but Buttigieg and Klobachar don’t have the momentum.

RIGHT!? All the people who would scream at me in 2015 and 2016 about not liking, but supporting HRC are now sitting here saying “well, I don’t like him. I hope I don’t have to vote for him.”

You’re using them as a prop. You can deny that, or dismiss that, like their opinions, but Bernie didn’t and hasn’t.

If he gets the nomination, will you endorse and campaign for him? 
I’m not going to go there yet. We’re still in a very vigorous primary season.

Real tough blow for the Sanders campaign that one of the least popular public figures in America might not go out campaigning for him. 

Remember when her campaign leaked photos starting the whole "secret Muslim" thing? Can she just... not? What is this even hoping to accomplish? If she couldn't be president, no Democrat ever will?
