If that bothers you, the common sense solution is to destroy your blanket and pillow after each plane ride and try another. It’s the only solution.

“I totally wanted to kill someone who looked like you, but don’t worry, I don’t anymore” doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Are people taking their shoes off during flights? I could see arguing that people should wear slip on/off shoes because of TSA...but for emergency landings? 

What are they supposed to do if there are no seats? And why does anyone in that situation have a right to be pissed? There’s no way to prevent that ahead of time.

It’s a lot less likely to happen with the “races reversed,” because people of color know that we can’t get away with the kind of BS that white people feel entitled to.

I remember that. She was upset, but it felt like the show kinda glossed over that...Roger almost seemed to blame her for getting in the way, didn’t he?

Do you mean “depicting Matthews throwing her to the ground”? Farley refers to Jenni, right?

How do you know when it happens? I don’t really notice a lot of the stuff mentioned in the article happening to me. Some of it, but not to the point where it feels like a constant burden. I’m never sure if that’s just b/c I don’t notice it/have normalized it, or if it’s something that happens less to me than to other…

Gee. Life imitates “World According to Garp.” Jenny doesn’t seem quite so whimsical anymore.

Or stick Paulie with the bill.
