You know what else is boring? Unemployment, being underinsured, widespread foreclosures/bankruptcy cycles we now accept as the norm and just another shitty fact of life. She didn’t create the system but she is certainly benefitting from it. So, an annoyed attitude and blase response for even being questioned about the…

I swear that I generally have a decent command of the language . . . and yet my hands often type the damnedest things. [Looks at hands on keyboard and whispers, “Stop embarrassing me.”]

I think demanding that Hamas (or any allied or successor organization) being excluded from any form of government or future discussions pertaining to Gaza’s future is a reasonable and achievable demand. Requiring it’s “destruction” without a crystal-clear and achievable definition of what that means essentially gives…

Regressive, fascist movements depend on economic inequality. With the exception of the wealthy few, everyone is a worker or depends upon a worker.

But strokes absolutely can change your personality—- granted, we more often see that with older folks who suffer with strokes and dementia, but the fact that his marriage seems to be falling apart would indicate a pretty serious personality shift, too. Sometimes it is just what was inside all along coming out (like…

This is the natural result of people lionizing politicians. I really don’t know why people help up Fetterman as a progressive champion. There really wasn’t anything that showed he was a progressive during the campaign. Let’s be honest, the biggest reason to vote for him was that he wasn’t Mehmet fucking Oz.

It’s entirely possible that he was always an opportunist scumbag who said what he needed to get elected even though it wasn’t even passingly authentic. . . but I can’t help but wonder if what we are seeing now is the result of a cognitive shift post-stroke. Like, I guess it’s possible that he was some evil mastermind…

Gen Z thinks they are going to change the world by electing more progressives. Consider this your first true lesson on how hard change really is. There is no such thing as purity in politics. Your heroes can become terrible people faster than you think  

Something something about putting a new dress on a pig. It’s still going to be a pig in a dress.

Not to say that we haven’t always done these things in various ways but I keep thinking of that cottage industry of weird fucking losers who sat through the Depp/Heard trial generating endless “content” analyzing Heard’s facial expressions to wrest some sense of how truthful she must or must not be. Now we get to see…

I don’t have sympathy for him either, the point of my post really goes to the way Jezebel is framing up Spears’ own statements about her moral responsibility towards Timberlake.

Some people made the argument that Spears should be free by arguing some permutation of “Ackshually Britney would have her shit together if she didn’t have her dad and the 2003 paparazzi in her life”. Others thought (myself included) that emotionally unstable people who aren’t a danger to others deserve a high degree…

This. Go work in a kitchen for a while. He’ll probably hate it but at least he’d learn something.

The mother really pissed me off towards the end. She was willing to take part in the documentary when her father was in the hot seat, but the second her daughters ask her about her decision to leave them in his care (as young children) she shuts them out with a “I’ve suffered enough, I don’t need this”.

It is an understatement to say this documentary is significantly disturbing—and not just because of what happened but also how everyone responds. It is fascinating to see how each family member (including the abuser) have found their own balancing point between denial and admittance. The grandfather disgusts me, but…

I respect that he’s trying to find his place, but he’s going straight to level ten after dabbling for every attempt (even soccer) and it’s just so odd.

People were defending Brooklyn because everyone was being mean while he was trying for new careers, but I think the heat is justified. He jumps into new things and then tries to use all of his connections and resources to immediately shoot to success. He has no respect for the craft or the people or the journey to…

I thought it was the serial killer from the 1st season of True Detectives.

That face alone is a sex crime. 

The picture is alarming enough, never mind the horrifying allegations...
