This is what I’m saying. I get all the joy of something good happening if the Bears don’t suck and if they do it’s extremely funny. I get no joy from the Packers winning since it happens so often and when they don’t I become like a suicide crisis line for my wife and in laws. I hate it.

Oh, absolutely, and that’s my demographic. My parents, who are Packer fans, were living in Chicago throughout the 80s (hence my being born there, hence Bears and Cubs fandom despite living in Wisconsin since age 6) so they sort of fall into the same black hole.

I am a Bears fan who lives in and mostly grew up in Wisconsin. I tried. I tried to be a Packer fan. Everyone else I know is, including my two year old daughter, so I thought maybe it was time I just joined in. I couldn’t do it. The Bears are a very funny team to root for. There is nothing funny about the Packers.…

Ask Martin Luther King how many guns he kept in his home in case they came for him.

It’s a comment section. You’re not obligated to care that I don’t care and I’m not obligated to care that you don’t care. So what?

It’s like a biometric tracking device. Keeps track of your heart rate and some other stuff. More commonly used during practices.

So did the adaptation that I liked. Those details underpin and help to justify historical liberties.

Id almost rather that than they try to ape Braveheart by turning her into William Wallace 

Se grew up at the court of the French king from like age six into her teens. And nobles at that time would have learned French even earlier so she was basically a native French speaker.

I’ve seen her depicted with a French accent exactly once and it was easily the best version of the story.

Have you never heard someone speaking English with a French accent before? It’s honestly easier to understand than the average Scottish accent a lot of the time, and not doing it is a sign that they just don’t care that much about her actual biography. So why should I care about their movie?

If I fell off it I would fucking die.

I guess I don’t really either, I’m just spoiled by the HBO Elizabeth movies with Helen Mirren where they gave Mary a French accent, which IS how she would have spoken English when she did at all. Whenever I see a movie or TV series that makes her actually Scottish it’s just a sign for me that they’re not taking…

Any movie that gives Queen Mary a Scottish accent is not serious about anything, so why should I give it the benefit of the doubt?

This movie is gonna fucking suck.

When I was playing softball one of our opposing teams would bring a loudspeaker and play walkup music for us. Mine was Get Ready to Die by Andrew WK

There are different standards for white people because we hold all the power in our society. Calling someone whitey or a cracker has never, ever contributed to a white person losing any of that standing and the closest analogue there is is with OTHER WHITE PEOPLE call poor people white trash.

I always found it was easier to just not withhold anything at all and get the refund. The few times that I’ve tried to withhold I ended up paying in because I had no idea what I was doing.

Has anyone checked on Roth?

He’s probably still mad about the latte salute thing. Did that even happen or was it totally made up? I honestly can’t recall.
