So... Buddy wants a magical idea of a woman instead of a human with no goals or independence. I knew love wasn't dead.

I can only speak from personal experience here, but I have (and still do) grapple with declaring my goodness. It's the "Dad, watch me dive," compulsion. The drive pops up whenever I engage in altruistic/virtuous action. Look, see how good I am. It's bullshit, and it's one of the ways I have to work on my behaviour,…

This is not even remotely surprising to me.
I used to work in a book store, where I wouldn't be allowed a lunch break (I know), so I had take-out a lot at the register. When I was helping a customer at the shelves, some jackhole took a giant bite out of my roti, and then deigned to tell me that it "wasn't very good."…

JUST. STOP. CAN'T THEY JUST STOP.
WHY.
WHY.

Yeah, I'm really not a fan of Sorkin. I started watching Newsroom into the second season before it became completely unwatchable (or I realized what it was I was watching, more accurately). The aggressive, self-righteous rants against caricatured opponents feel like they popped up as mental roleplay to himself in the…

I'm so disappointed with how this and other issues of harassment and misconduct have been handled. I mean, of course everyone is, but I want to flip a table in frustration.

I love the Satanic Temple so much. And now everyone is eating their case law.

Ooh. Look. Roth is being 'edgy' again.
I hate how that term now means, "Emptily and pointlessly offensive, and without creative merit."

Well, dammit. People are dicks.

THAT WAS UNSETTLING.
Are you sure he isn't a witch? Like, a Conan the Barbarian one?

Augh. This is pretty defeating. I really hate that this is the reality you have to deal with. I'm so sorry.
Patriarchy is such bullshit.

I'd love for Twigs to get some more success over here. Her music is really, really interesting.
I basically have a giant talent-crush plus real crush on her. She's just gosh darned swell.

It's weird to me that both he and Meeks have the same hit.

WHAT ELSE COULD THIS POSSIBLY MEAN?

Oh, hey moral panic. I was wondering when you'd show up again.
Seriously, these people have clearly never met a pothead. Do you think someone would waste that kind of money for candy that wasn't going into their faces or those of their friends? And for what? "Oh ho! This child is gonna feel pretty funny and go to bed…

...Yeah, this guy, man. His reasoning for his firing is (not surprisingly) now sounding entirely off-base with all of the new information presented.
"I was fired because I am kinky," is entirely different from, "There's a lot of talk of my kink play being improperly negotiated/unconsensual and also that I am a…

Please tell me I'm not the only person thinking Akira.

...Whelp, Gweneth has her heart in the right place. *coughs uncomfortably*
I really wish there was a speech writer out there who'd proofread and go, "Y'see, take this whole 'working mother' thing out, because while it's technically true, it makes you sound like an unbelievably out-of-touch asshole. Also, you don't need…

My favourite part of that picture in light of all the context is the part of the contract that says, "I understand this contract."
What the everloving fuck.

I... Wow. There's really no way to win with these people. I do wonder what the coverage would have been like if a male Secret Service agent who had been overpowered. Also, a giant wall of meat doesn't the best Secret Service agent make.
New idea for the administration: HIRE KNIGHTS. Preferably with lances. I hear they…
