Thank you. I needed something to feel good about.

This. There needs to be a push to penalize people for wasting police time. If you call 911 and your “emergency” is two guys sitting quietly minding their own business or a family using charcoal in the wrong part of the park, you need to be charged and fined for wasting police time. The only way to stop people from

Oh Melania.

He took a plea deal then fled to avoid what was (I think) a relatively small amount of jail time.

Sexism is a form of discrimination and it is indeed oppressive. But this is a forum for people of color to discuss racism. When we, as white people, come to these forums, we need to focus on listening to what is being said. When one of us interjects, as a white person, “hey, I’m white but I sometimes also experience a

Hollywood’s endless protection of Polanski has been nothing short of sickening. And no one who worked with Polanski in the last 40 years can claim they didn’t know he was convicted of raping a child.

Maze’s bridal shower hair and pearls were terrifying.

Either Welling is really not doing a good acting job or Pierce’s “love” is just a story he’s telling himself and others

Watching Charlotte chase bad guys on motorcycles turns out to be one of those new needs I never knew I had!

I enjoyed this episode—in large part because Tom Ellis and Lauren Germain sold the hell out of their respective moments of desperation, confusion and pain. But in some ways I find Charlotte’s arc far more interesting. I confess I’m looking forward to Pierce’s imminent and tragic murder, in hopes that losing Tom

As Linda points out, no one really knows what God’s plan is. The mark could have left for the selfless thing and Cain is just putting two unrelated events together (Lucifer’s vulnerability and his mark leaving) to arrive at a conclusion that works for him.

Charlotte’s moral reformation has been driven by utter terror. Tricia Helfer’s done a great job of seeming edgy and drained from the effort of trying to be better and the accompanying fear that whatever she does won’t be enough. It’s not surprising she snapped and went on a compensatory binge of badness.

I’ve been up and down on the show this season, this episode absolutely restored my faith in our devil.

Would it make any sense to get people to go to the customer service form on the Starbucks website, and submit requests to have their giftcards refunded because they cannot spend money at a store that discriminates against customers based on race? If they got a lot of those requests that might explicitly tie consumer

This comment needs more love!

FWIW, my 75-year old mother was denied in her application for a kitten adoption from the local shelter. She was a home owner with perfect credit, in excellent health then and now, eight years later. Some shelters are extremely rigid, and it’s more common than you think.

Rapists routinely tell their victims that they will kill them if they tell anyone. Rapists often then terrorize those survivors in local, shared spaces—the grocery store, the playground, the employee breakroom—to reinforce that threat and ensure their silence. When we talk about why survivors don’t come forward and

I hope for her sake Jefferson soon reciprocates

I’m more invested in the Pierces than the entire cast of The Flash.

Jefferson P: Rodney King asked, ‘Can we all get along?’ See, it’s an existential question rather than a directive.
