The first reason you listed for signing was that “it’s fucking ugly”, and you said it deserves “all the hate it’s been getting”. That’s quite a different stance than you’re taking now, and your new position isn’t at all reflected in the petition you signed. And yes, the one you signed sounds like it was written by…

Personally, I’m starting to get sick of “medieval” fantasy due to its insistence on throwing in my face that women are considered inferior every five seconds. I’m not a fan of “urban” fantasy, but I should give it a try. I just seen too many “urban” fantasy shows that were basically as melodramatic as a reality show,…

It looks better now. That was immediately after construction.

I understand that reaction. When I said I find it “odd,” I just meant that I think about it a bit differently. Immediately reducing art to a factor of enjoyment basically signals a refusal to consider the broad array of other contexts that might situate the work in a different light. There seems to be a confusion…

This might have worked is they had maybe done an “interpretation” of a student, made it sort of generic racially and gender-wise, instead of making it what appears to be a basic white guy in some dumb clothes. Why not a light to symbolize knowledge or something? This pretty dumb.

Also this...

I’m not sure your personal dislike of an artist’s work is evidence of pluralistic ignorance. I mean, it’s enough just to not care for the work, right? Not everyone who does like it has to also be mistaken about liking it, do they?

It is real. To me it looks like someone about trying to commit suicide by jumping from that thing.

If that were their objection to it I’d be on board. Alas, it is not.

Also, just like a bunch of millenials to not recognize the opportunity to have some art that Delia Deetz from Beetlejuice would have killed for.

If my livejournal is any indication, yes I was this bad.

It's giving him the cute old man treatment when it should be throwing up a warning flag

Oh, you think a loud possibly atheist woman with a six dollar haircut and an ill-fitting suit wouldn’t be successful in national politics? WEIRD.

I am genuinely shocked by this interview. That’s not snark, or partisanship, or anything else. 26 years in Congress, all of them championing progressive goals, eight of them since the financial crisis, EIGHT YEARS as a sitting, working legislator during the financial crisis and you don’t even know the legal…

Elizabeth Warren is a politician I admire. She is not a presidential candidate, and has been very clear that she has no desire to be one. Every time a Bernie supporter is accused of being maybe just the tiniest bit sexist for loathing HRC, they bring up Elizabeth Warren as an example of a woman they would totally vote…

The highlighted sections were pretty curated, there. Here’s a different excerpt:

It’s widely being proclaimed that the interview didn’t go all that well for Sanders (theWashington Post is declaring it a “disaster”).

They are excoriating him for it because he demonstrated that he lacked basic knowledge on a topic he talks about constantly. He isn’t wrong about how the system is fucked, but it is a problem that he has zero interest in figuring out how to fix it beyond giving speeches. I like the guy, but this is a serious flaw of…

Especially since, y’know, not all of America lives in NYC or rides the subway. Contrary to what Gawker and so many other media employees may sometimes think.

Is it that much of an overstatement? It is one thing to not know specifics about every issue, but to not be able to coherently articulate an analysis and plan to deal with his main focus is concerning. That he talks about that issue 90% of the time makes his lack of comprehension even worse.

I assumed he was keeping…
