QFT. My ancestors fought for the Confederacy. They backed a shit cause. Doesn’t mean I can’t honor the bravery they showed in nasty battle conditions. Doesn’t mean I need a tratitor rag to recognize my heritage. I hate these people yammering on about “Southerners” coming together united in a noble cause—they…

Pat Hines and his League of South, CCC buddies are delusional. What fng “white southern culture” is he talking about? Can someone name anything positive that is UNIQUE to “Southern white heritage” that isn’t also linked to people of color?? BBQ? Nope. Grits? Nope. Blues and Jazz? Nope. Seriously, what “white culture”…

It was Dinesh D’Souza and his ilk decades ago. It morphs into a “new” version every decades.

Exactly. Anyone who heads off to college expecting and planning to “steadfastly” hold to all their beliefs doesn’t belong in a university setting.

And nothing new from Francis. The US Bishops Conference back in I think 83 pissed every right-wing Catholic off by saying anyone who worked in the defense industry at all (down to a low-level bookkeeper at Boeing or Lockheed Martin) was morally culpable for the evils of nuclear weapons.

Right. And we’ll see just how far all this white Charlestonian unity and compassion “for our black brothers and sisters in Christ” extends when they’re asked to give up their greatgreatgrandpappaw’s traitor rag.

Her: “You’re smart, you think on your feet, and you’re really good at talking to lots of different kinds of people...” Me (in my head): “Huh, she’s not being her usual shitty. Go on..." Her: “...so what about being a barista at a coffee shop?”

My favorite thing is a christmas ornament Dad made on his ship—they used tin cans and cut and folded them into shapes. Mine’s a star and precious to me.

Dad (looking like he’s about to bust into “There is Nothin’ Like a Dame!”) in a rowboat somewhere in the South Pacific, 1944. He mailed his new bride (Mom!) all kinds of pics, with notes on the back. I’m trying to find and post the one that shows him posing in his dress whites, sitting on a bench in Hawaii. The…

Plus, the tweeter is a moron, because the encyclical isn’t ex cathedra anyway.

Based on her brother’s book (ah! mourn the braincells I will never get back) they’re batshit crazy too. Seems to me they can decide to answer a reporter’s questions and also be whackjobs.

I will confess I actually spent 9.99 on Kindle to buy her brother Joshua’s memoir. And holy crap. I can see why she would want to distance herself from her parents—like from the fucking plague—but even so, it doesn’t justify the lying. Just makes the "massive crazy” theory more grounded as an explanation, not an…

Everyone who is rasing a biracial kid or who adopted a child of a different ethnicity, upon hearing her say you can’t be a “real” “plausible” parent if you don’t slap on the black face would like to tell Rachel to go fuck right off.

It’s how Bugs Bunny said it: “what a maroon!"

That MHP doesn’t seem to get that race as constructed is constructed in power relations is bizarre. Tiger Woods could say he identified as “cablinasian,” but race is recalcitrant—it shoved back HARD the instant FuzzyZ asked if he wanted fried chicken.

Completely agree. Theon doesn’t deserve redemption. Fuck him. He gets NOTHING.

They were REALLY obvious having Stannis keep glancing over her shoulder. I think Pod shows up and stops her.

We’ll find out next week she actually has a 2nd Spotify account that she maintains anonymously “for security reasons.”

She twice says this situation was “unexpected.” Welp. Guess that settles the “is she delusional?” question.

Jon Snow’ll be back in one form or another. After all, little broken wargy brother can spend a season in an off-screen underground tree, but we know he’ll be back.
