Well it seems to be fucking up the point of the original statue. The bull isn’t a hooray Wall St power symbol, it was meant to criticize the insanity of greed driving the market to collapse. It is a big fuck your false idol installation, but now everyone is like yeah girl SHOW THAT BULL which makes the girl the…

The only real difference (and why I’m not laughing at him entirely) is that the Fearless Girl was the work of an ad agency and is therefore purely corporate.

Defence attorneys have to defend people who are often guilty. I don’t think that amounts to “bad shit.”

No wonder none of her stepkids want anything to do with her. It’s not about being trans, it’s about being such a petty little person that she’d use her memoir to smear a dead man while simultaneously making it all about how jealous said dead man supposedly was of Bruce Jenner.

the bombs are landing in syria, but the target is the russian collusion storyline.

For a lot of people, no matter how much they have, it’s not enough. This is the fault of someone else. Politicians like Trump who point this out get their support.

I actually got to see him in person a few months ago when he was doing a show here - he did a book signing and lecture at our library too. I spoke words to him. They were coherent words. Words came out of my mouthhole and made sense and he answered my question and it was beautiful.

This is something that often doesn’t get talked about - rape within relationships, and while I haven’t watched the show (honestly, I think it would be too triggering for me), I’ve followed commentary with great interest because I think it’s the kind of television I would like and the kind that we need more of.

Their first time, in the kitchen?, I said wait he just raped her. It wasn’t sexy. I suppose for a certain type any sight of half-naked Nicole Kidman is sexy. I was excited that Skaarsgard was in this and then immediately repelled. His acting was good but he wasn’t sexy either.

That was my read on it as well. Plus, if you look at the subtext of the relationship, there is no guarantee he would not have proceeded even if she had turned him down. It was as if consent was her least worst option.

Agreed; those scenes were very hard to watch. In her review of BLL for the New Yorker, Emily Nussbaum wrote, “It’s hard not to suspect that Celeste is consenting, in part, so that she doesn’t have to admit that if she didn’t agree he wouldn’t stop.” And as we saw in the episode where she broke his urethra, he doesn’t…

yoy know what? Tell that to the majority of white women who voted for Trump, Bernie bros are not the reason she lost.

Even if, on the 1 in a million chance, Trump did come out for single payer healthcare, there’s ZERO chance it would make it through congress.

I’m a white guy and I usually always have my passport handy (it’s in my work bag). Never know when you might need to flee the country these days.

That, and why do we demand that people are ‘comfortable’ or ‘accepting’ of us?

It should just be enough that they don’t harm us in any way, including discrimination, verbal harassment, physical assault etc.

If someone is uncomfortable around you, but is an adult about it, and doesn’t let it harm you in any way, why do…

Wow this is a pretty good list. Only comment: I know you said no gun, but I would recommend some way to defend yourself. Human decency goes right out the window when someone is starving. If you are walking to West Virginia, you will run into desperate people. Guns can be put in safes where kids can’t get in, but if…

Is it just me, or is there something really sexist about expecting Joan Didion to provide fucking solutions to the problems she espies with her little gimlet eyes?

That’s exactly what I thought this article was going to be about.

Yeah, where is THAT makeup line? Featured shades: “First Timers,” “We Have A Really Solid Relationship,” “Emotionally Detached,” and (let’s not forget) “I Swear I Won’t Get Jealous.”

We’re in hiding. They try to drink our blood for inmortality.
