Especially when you consider how often a sex scene is absolutely superfluous to the narrative being told. I saw Ewan McGregor talk about this in an interview a few years ago. He basically said that yes, sex scenes are horrible to shoot, but that he tries really hard to make sure that he chooses projects that aren’t…

“At least Sofia’s like, ‘We’re going to get this done quick, I’m just gonna shoot it here, we’ll do three takes, be done,’” whereas male directors want to “shoot it from every angle.”

Speaking as a woman, my first reaction was “burn the motherfuckers down, RBG.”

So today, ironically, there was a job posting for an attorney or July bar exam applicant at the Legal Aid in my city. Actually, there were two postings, but one of them was for a housing security attorney, representing tenants in private and subsidized housing disputes and advocating for tenants by working with…

It kind of broke my heart, because until that clerk was freaked out by my budding feminist recommendation, I bought all my new issues there. But lucky for me, there was a much larger store in the next town over where I already shopped for back issues.
To be fair, my collection ranged all the way from second string…

Jeff Sessions on police reform: “It is not the responsibility of the federal government to manage non-federal law enforcement agencies.”

This. I assume the room burst out in laughter when he said this.

Unless it’s related to ICE or Marijuana.

In a sense, I think part of the problem is that people have conceived of this “core” of readers as adolescent men (and white by default), but that’s not what the readership has looked like in a long time. Every time they hark back to that idea, it’s because they’re trying to dodge the fact that they’re just lazy and…

That makes more sense to me. Why make a special carve out for women with terrible periods when you could cover anyone who needs a few extra days off a month to deal with their chronic medical issues, and avoid the sexist backlash in the process?

Maybe we could make sure everyone has adequate sick leave for all the things? I mean many people have chronic recurring health issues of varying degrees.

Not coincidentally the non-Marvel/DC comics publishers usually give the financial and creative control of the works to their creators, so that’s where writers looking to make original comics end up going...

This post IS a bit tongue-in-cheek, but nowhere do I claim it’s a frivolous process! Just a morally righteous one.

Yeah I don’t know man. Even doing the whole “marriage for green card” in a legit way is difficult, costly, and takes years. Sure, there are those who do it as a business arrangement and get away with it, but I don’t people not of means could do it. Generally, immigrants are actually paying US citizens to marry them -…

Jared Kushner’s daddy bought him admission to Harvard. It’s easy to be self confident when you’ve been a pampered little shithead with people telling you you’re great all the time. His father also went to jail courtesy of Chris Christie, which is why Jersey Fats was frozen out by Dumbass Donald.

The military puts up with a lot of stuff from the President.

How can the military continue to put up with this bunch of New York wimps ordering them around? It is so confusing.

Yet even though green card marriages are harder to pull off, people do it all the time and get away with it. Doing this for one of America’s 11 million undocumented immigrants would be a bigger act of love than a garish wedding could ever be. The extra effort would be worth it to the immigrant whose sudden…

Putin’s false flag attack, you mean? Yes, we heard. It’ll give him the perfect excuse to go after racial and religious minorities and consolidate even more power. I’m sure it gets old reporting on Trump and his daddy Putin’s distractions.

You know a bomb just went off in the St. Petersburg subway and killed 10 people. Maybe we could talk about that or literally anything other than these awful, boring people.
