This is why it’s important to examine heavy coat privilege.

A fair point. & the best of all coats are COATS ON GOATS.

I’m exclusively seeking out the “coats for dogs” thread, now.

There are the issues, & then there are the issues that matter.

You’re not wrong. I mean:

I’m O.k with consigning “women will lie about being raped for financial gain” to “myth” status, so long as we don’t fall into thinking that no woman has ever had the motive or the will to lie about being raped.

At last, the death-gods have released their cold, icy grip on the United States; the trees are green, the birds are singing, and our greatest sport has returned.

*Godamnit!

I’m exhausted already. These things get surreal, in the era of constant coverage. Even when whole show plays out to some indelible conclusion - like Jeter’s walk-off single - it winds up seeming contrived.

I’m a Sox fan, & I’m bored already. What I’m not so bored by is Bogaertes at short, Shaw on the hot corner, & the ongoing saga of Mookie Lynn Betts, who has the best name in baseball.

Ogod this movie! How could I forget?

“It always seems to come back around to my sex tape raison d’etre. Yes, a sex tape that was made 13 years ago. 13 YEARS AGO. Literally that lonnng ago. And people still want to talk about it?!?!”

In a perfect world, we get an Arcade Fire cover. Suburbia!

Your rhetoric is compelling. I’m inclined to vote for Bears, now.

Remember 2009? The President was on top of the world, Philip Seymour Hoffman was alive, & Sting took ‘em all to church at the Kennedy Center Honors.

There’s a problem with money in politics. Don’t get me wrong! I’m doing what I can, though, to tone down the histrionic rhetoric. I’m worried, & I’ve been exasperated, but I’m a long ways away from condemning the system “as a whole.”

Baseball is a good sport.
