Did you miss the part where the letter writer said they had never seen an issue?

Yeah, I don’t want to pretend that I have any basis behind my belief that right wingers are more likely to drop politics into random situations but that’s what i believe (I’m pretty left-leaning so it could also be confirmation bias.)

Exactly. Any sort of political grandstanding (and while I agree that the MAGA hat is a racist taunt, I still think the sign is grandstanding) in the service industry will just fall on people who are already exploited (and, very often, are POC, too.) But you know this.

Let’s set aside whether it’s virtue signaling or counter protesting for a second. The hat ban would likely expose employees to harassment that the owner would be much more insulated from. That doesn’t seem like a great thing to do to people in the service industry since, you know, getting harassed happens often enough

I bet none of the people so fiercely advocating for the hat ban have ever worked in the service industry and been berated by a (usually right-wing) dickbag about politics when all you want to do is get through your shift and pour drinks/deliver food/etc.

This was fun. I appreciate your constant Vigilance. 

Badu’s space-case performance”

“The Green New Deal ONLY addresses inequality and climate change? I can’t even believe that people are calling this progressive. It doesn’t even include student loan relief and reductions to the military. We need real progressives not this neoliberal bullshit.”—Splinter, the Next Generation.

The only acceptable answer would be one written by Splinter itself.

You’re a conspiracy mongering idiot with delusions of being hunted by “international bankers.”

Oh, thank god you’re back! My life was so empty without you, Andrew.

“i watched them lose one game and now i know more than the sports writer i just read,”-you

Oh, in that sense I agree with you. If I were TK, i’d consider this a big violation of trust and it would change the working relationship. Before, I was thinking totally in the sense of whether or not what she was saying was factual, which definitely doesn’t take everything into account. 

I don’t think you, as an anonymous poster on a website, can be stalked by other anonymous people on this website since, you know, everyone is anonymous.

You call this passionate? Maybe my tone isn’t coming through clearly, I don’t mean to sound worked up about this at all. I guess I can see why it’s strange, though.

I have no idea why he wrote it out. I just know that scripts are pretty frequently revised by named and unnamed screenwriters and that assuming that he just thought he could use dictionary Spanish in the film version isn’t supported by anything we know.

I don’t even mind her saying it in the interview, since it seems to be true, you know? I’m just rolling my eyes at all the commenters who really want to ignore that it was an early draft because getting annoyed on the internet is fun!

Did you miss the part where it was an early draft of the script? I don’t see any indication that Kushner expected the script to be produced unchanged. 

Maybe you want to help your coworker out with this. She seemed to, uh, have a bit of trouble figuring out “what the fuck” neeson meant by telling the story. 

Yeah, like is it ridiculous that he’s being invited to the white house for donnie to use as a prop? Of course.
