THANK YOU! I *hated* this movie. The performances were actually fine, but the camera work drove me crazy (close-ups and shaky cam everywhere), and the themes.... Holy cow, the guy is destructive, borderline abusive. Maybe this story worked in decades past when alcoholics didn’t have the resources or the understanding,…

Exactly. I mean, freaking Beyonce gave a concert for Clinton; Swift’s endorsement would have paled in comparison. Whereas now, when many celebrities are actually being pretty quiet about midterms, she’s keeping it local and thus having a much larger impact. It’s strategic, it seems to have an impact, *why is this a…

This is why I actually find the typical leftist/progressive call for a parliamentary system very strange. Yes, the two party system sucks (though really, pick your poison with any type of government) and yes, the Democratic party already kind of IS a parliament what with its big tent tendencies, but a parliamentary…

If they did go to her concerts and still think she was their Aryan goddess, then they’re morons; her back-ups dancers are almost entirely POC, as are her singers, and Camilla Cabello was her opening act. Not saying she’s some woke activist or anything, but just a passing glance at her concerts would clue in any Nazi. 

It’s cause they’re actually good writers who know what the fuck they’re talking about.

That’s why I can’t buy the whole “Clinton wasn’t a good enough candidate to win Wisconsin.” Okay, fine, but IF that were true, if her loss in WI was *entirely* about her campaign, then you’d think other seats in WI would have gone blue. You’d think, if the whole theory that WI is totally progressive and left-leaning…

YES FUCKING THANK YOU. You take money from the super rich to get into power, then close the campaign finance door in their faces (well, the faces of those that gave you money to keep their super-rich status. The rare rich guy like Warren Buffet will probably continue to give you money even while you in power even the…

See, that’s the real issue. Term limits would do absolutely jack, especially because the current trend is for Congress people getting cushy special interests jobs after.

The idea of small term limits are also horrible because the less a person knows about how governance actually works, the more lobbyists can take…

That’s what happened to my cat a few years ago. I got him from a friend of my mom’s, had him for about four years, but he moved around pretty well, so vet estimated he was about 6-8 years old. Over the period of about a month, he slowly stopped eating as much and wouldn’t jump onto the bed like normal. Took him in,…

Good history explanation in the first part of the video about “how we got here.” 

Haaaaaate the “word decor” trend, refuse to have it in my house once I actually get a say in the decorating. Cannot understand how people like it.

Also enjoyed GG and Boys Over Flowers, so this is also right up my alley. :D (You ever check out the Japanese version? I also super dug that version, Hana Yori Dango.) 

The ending of Gossip Girl has been vindicated. (No.)

I want their NYTimes wedding announcement *now.*

I’d assume it’s actually the opposite; she doesn’t want people to take these wins for granted, and assume the exact same strategy will work in every single district and we can all just kick back and let the wins keep coming. It’s a huge, monumental win, but it’s also in a heavily blue district with a rather lazy…

HEY GUESS WHAT, we’re fucked for generations! 

Thread to start rounding up how we can help shut these down and get the kids back to their parents (and the families themselves out of these horrific conditions.)

I was not sophisticated enough to enjoy nearly any of the stories (the one about the plague and the ghost girls in dresses were the only ones I “got”.) Maybe the TV show will end up better for me.

Also is a Chippewa word for “river gateway” or something like that. FFS.

I was quite sad that the first movie didn’t even *try* to explore the idea of poly. I’m not poly myself, but given the strength of Samantha’s and Smith’s relationship, and their respective personalities, I think it really would have been worth a shot, and would have been an interesting way to take the series into the…
