It isn't because the land is holy. It's because Israel (a country whose borders were decided by the Allies of WWII) is basically an occupying force to the Palestinians that live there, and their land keeps getting annexed and houses bulldozed so that Israelis can settle it.

They didn’t give us Biden. He won the primary. End of story. And even though he wasn’t my choice I highly doubt Warren or Bernie would have beaten trump. Yeah, I said it. It’s time to let that shit go. 

Kam, her husband Short Court, and his brother Chart, have been shit posting about Tiffany, referring to the fact that she stood up for herself as “reverse racism” that “didn’t work out so well” in Nazi Germany. I’m imagining these three all dressed up at high society charity events, where they congratulate each other…

Except that Chrissy would direct message Courtney Stodden, in private, and tell them to kill themself. That is not edgelord, troll humour for the masses. That is private, ghoulish behaviour. And she directed her insults to Stodden for a period of about eighteen months. That is persistent harassment toward an…

Data is very threatening to people who won’t automatically find themselves at the front of the line if we follow it.

It’s weird how you’re only hung up on the racial aspect when RRF highlighted several groups that they would be serving during the priority period. 

There’s something deeply unsettling about the fact that Chrissy told her to kill herself over DM. If she had done it exclusively through tweets it would have come off as a distasteful attempt at edgy, attention-seeking, dark humor—but through DM seems like she sincerely meant it, which is vile.

How is the abused groomed child bride that we all owe a Britney-esque apology to as awful as the person that told her to harm/end herself...

I was literally going to say that I like Teigen as a whole, that this was 10 years ago and the way the internet/society works is different now (in that it seems like power dynamics are more recognized and we’re a little less likely as a whole to target women for being victims). That brand of ~edgy humor~ seems to be a…

my favorite hyperbole in this context is “EVISCERATES”, always makes me LOL

Psaki looks like a fucking genius compared to her recent predecessors. How could she not? But yes, she’s being doing a good job, I think. She always seems prepared and poised, especially dealing with the fascist agitprop shills.  Now if they could only get her to up her smokey eye shadow game......

This sudden lurch to desperate “they’ll love us if we defend the Royals” definitely won’t have anything to do with the Conservative Party man recently put in charge of the BBC at all…

Um am I interpreting this correctly as being a joke about Diana’s death? Cuz if so that’s waaaayyyy worse and it’s really telling that THAT was left in and pretty mild Prince Andrew jokes were taken out. Which were just about him being a creep (esp the first one about a dingo eating her baby) and is only offensive if…

Oh please. The butt of the joke was the Royal Family, not any victims. Punching up. That’s the difference!

I thought it was spot on. It’s very specifically like 1998-2001 bubblegum pop. Think like B*Witched or A*Teens.

I’ve long suspected that the episode of 30 Rock where Tina Fey goes to her class reunion thinking she was the quiet nerd and was actually the raging asshole is autobiographical. There’s just something about her.

I find your take on the Colin Quinn comeback to be quite different from my own. “I was not conditioned in a family of abuse to accept that abuse” is the message I take, and the ‘child of alcoholics’ line both makes it specific (therefore funny) and stingingly personal, since Quinn gives off a ‘Family of Boozers’ vibe.…

I think the other thing was seasons 1-4 all had young people who fundamentally had reasons to live in/move to the city they were going to, and thus were following those ambitions.  After that they kind of steered toward people with... less ambitions?  And then gave them a collective job or task to force more…

Hawaii had a lot of crazy antics but it also took a very serious look at Ruthie’s alcoholism. And most of the cast were real and likable people. As insane as Teck could get, I still love his indignant “what if we have company?!” when someone (Ruthie?) broke a glass. That reaction just seemed so...normal and middle…
