Shitshitshitshitshit I’d been sort of avoiding this because I generally knew what it was going to be, and now I’m crying at my desk. Fuck.

Guys? I’m getting a bad feeling about this election. Maybe it’s the confirmation of Justice Dude-Bro and the resulting Republican polling bump. Maybe it was that climate report. Maybe it’s the rampant voter suppression in Georgia and elsewhere. But it’s starting to feel to me like the Blue Wave is going to be a…

rape is the only crime where the victim is put on trial

That story still doesn’t make any sense. Also, randomly shooting into dark rooms is still murder.

We’re going to need to straight lock up half of men below the age of 30 if what this dude did was out of line enough to be worth punishing.

Person 1: I took my wife to the Caribbean last month.

Those aren’t clues. They aren’t vague. The third is an explicit no, involving the actual phrase “no, I’m not ready to do this.” If you had sex with a woman after she said the third example above with you, you would be charged with rape. For your benefit and for the benefit of women you interact with, if these kind of…

I’m thinking bigger.  I have a nice bottle of champagne I’m going to pop, then I’m going to drink it all straight from the bottle.

I’m going to violently celebrate if we win the midterms, which is to say, I’ll have two scotches. Truly, us progressives are history’s greatest monsters.

I’ll be honest—the women that these men victimized are serving a life sentence of having all the same feelings of shock and disgust come right back up again whenever they see these assholes, so why shouldn’t they have to serve a life sentence of keeping the fuck out of the spotlight? There are some things you do that…

Aren’t The Warriors from Cony Island?

I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…

You’re not wrong. I’m pretty read up on Avital Ronell because I’m in academia and this is pretty much all anyone in my field can talk about right now (with good reason). And to top it off, Kraus’ take is pretty garbage. But honestly, all the Kraus/twitter stuff is pretty incoherent, so I wouldn’t bother with it.

Now I’ve got “Chris Kraus will make you jump jump,” stuck in my head.

The conundrum #MeToo faces now was directly caused by centering voices of wealthy, privileged white actresses as “leaders” of the movement when they hadn’t been vetted and had no history of activist work. It could be argued their participation in the first place was self-serving and designed to pursue personal…

When did it become okay to bring kids to breweries? It’s actually pretty rare nowadays to go to one and NOT see a kid.

doubtful....

I feel that way about kids 😁

There’s a restaurant in my town that I’ve visited before and enjoy quite a bit. It’s in the downtown area, so I typically go there after I’ve run some errands.

That would be very helpful. I’ve been visiting him this week and came down with a cold, which means that he is engaging in his most irritating signature personality traits: the insistence that whatever you are sick with, he had the same thing just last week, he had it worse and also it was allergies. My cold is only…
