Gonna be honest—if you find yourself constantly having to explain to people that despite what they just heard you say, you’re not a racist, the problem is you. Maybe that problem isn’t racism (hint: it’s totally racism) but if everyone hears what you say and says, “WOW that’s racist,” then you have fucked up somewhere…

OMG just turn off the show and read the book. It will take you like an afternoon and you will be better for it. The show completely drops the ball.

The restaurant says they were closed, but the women say the restaurant was open because people were still dining. Anyone who’s worked service knows a closed restaurant often has people in it well beyond the official closing time, and while the public may still be inside, no one new gets to come in.

It is completely irrelevant whether or not anyone “acknowledges their privilege and intersectionality.” This is made-up pseudo-academic language you use to say that you want them to feel bad for caring about themselves more than they care a complaining stranger like yourself. No one is actually going to do that, and…

What would be the point of doing that though? What use would it be to keep Omar in their back pocket. Plus, it had the crescent moon on the hood, they wouldn’t know he was Muslim unless they searched the house.

Oh, please, stop dividing people by their color, this is just annoying by now.

a typo so charming it demanded a screenshot and a meme:

This show is great. Really gotta give them a hand for this one. So tense. I nearly lost my head. What a great episode.

Look, I don’t come here for political propaganda, even less, political propaganda for 12 years old. I am aware of the general political orientation of this site and of the people reaction in the comments and I have no problem with it, agreeing with many points, but there is a limit. I am not even American so really…

Mary Karr made her career by lying and exaggerating about her own life. How can she expect any other reception than “no one cared?”

I’m a little disappointed with The Colonies only in that it’s horribly inefficient to have individuals with shovels remove irradiated soil. Like, not even one bulldozer? When do they think they’ll get that stretch of land done? 2089?

The general vibe of the chat is that both sides are at fault for making politics so mean and bitter these days, which is unfair and disingenuous, but whatever.

Your first link is referencing some obscure GOP candidate from 2012. Considering Danette’s comparisons were with the current administration and their so-called “attack”, it’s doesn’t seem particularly relevant. Not to mention there is a stark difference between saying a woman should keep her baby no matter what and…

Always fascinating reading the alternative universe the left lives in. It is also fun seeing the hypocrisy of supposed progressive people pretending the majority of people (especially women) do not exist .(https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2017/01/27/poll_finds_most_women_back_abortion_restrictions_132913.html

Continuously comparing the perceived horrors of today with the actual horrors of The Handmaid’s Tale really minimizes the atrocities depicted in both the show and the book and it’s unfortunate the reviewer decided to do this.

“I have one last role to play: myself.” -Dolores.

Erm, that’s not what “eponymous” means.

Not necessarily the Chinese legal waters, they consider a lot that is not theirs as theirs.

I expected a D grade for this episode. I mean, just for that overlong custody battle sequence alone, with the “Your Honor, permission to stage an improptu drama therapy session with my sister in front of the court?” “Granted”. I don’t mind episodes where everything stops and we delve into character backstories. But…

How are these “incoherent” or “nonsense”? I see that you don’t agree with them, but it doesn’t appear you had any trouble understanding them; I certainly didn’t; the unanimity of the left’s response suggests they didn’t either. Who are these people who can’t understand the Tweets?
