I’ve lived in London before. I also possess common sense! More cops doesn’t inherently mean more safety, and it’s an especially ludicrous suggestion when a cop is allegedly responsible for the disappearance and murder that prompted all of this.

Also it always seemed clear that he appreciated the side that raised him. Those accusations sounded like projection.

This reminds me of the line I heard often from white people while Obama was in office.

Awww...now I miss Gawker’s “Best Restaurant in New York.”

It’s been a long year, so you’re likely trolling out of sheer boredom, but I’m bored too, so...by “relative,” you mean Meghan’s mother, as opposed to Rachel Dolezal’s two white parents?

This will warm your heart on the coldest of days.

God that’s sad. I can feel the pain, hurt and betrayal in her voice. And the clout chasing thing has been an issue for awhile with BLM. I remember back during the Ferguson protests, professional trauma grifters like DeRay McKesson and others descended on the town and took up a HUGE amount of space, oxygen and media…

Copaganda. I think there’s a lot to that idea. When people respond to ‘defund the police’ with ‘what about rapists’ they’re thinking about Law and Order: SVU not the real police who do mock survivors, victim blame, and let rape kits just sit in storage.

Excellent suggestions. Irish brown bread, like from Pat the Baker, is great if you can find it. I am fortunate enough to have a real Irish butcher who has this and more within driving distance. I can get a bacon to boil for dinner after breakfast. Leave the corned beef to the tourists.

*sigh* Yes. Or he’ll lose to a Dump-approved nominee who’s worse than he is.

He is going to win, isn't he?

Favorite thing is when that film historian went through every single piece of Allen’s work given to...Yale, or wherever, including all his unpublished scripts and such. And EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM involved a younger, usually VERY young woman, falling in love with and fucking an older man.

Probably better to rush to stridently demand accountability for perpetrators of child sexual abuse and incest than to rush to make fun of someone for too stridently demanding accountability for perpetrators of child sexual abuse.  I mean “Haha, look how much this guy wants to hold Woody Allen accountable for fingering…

I think Alien vs. Predator works well enough for this story already.

Especially of Christopher Nolan and Quentin Tarantino films.

From an article about movies reopening in Nyc and a vaccinated journalist who attended one - “Most people in the theater on Saturday enjoyed the experience without snacks, and kept their masks in place, but my row-neighbors took off their masks immediately upon settling in, ostensibly to sip their beverages, and then…

But cases have not-NOT been traced to theaters, since it’s virtually impossible to say “The kinds of people risking a theater visit would only ever break their quarantine for a movie theater,” since the kinds of people seeing movies right now are very likely to be doing other non-quarantine activites.

I lost a friend to it. Its sad because its my sons best friends dad. They moved out of my area and down to Kentucky right before Trump was elected. He leaned right but overall was a nice smart guy. We didn’t agree on everything but we could sit around a camp fire, drink a beer and bullshit.

I lost my cousin to Q in early 2020 (and it does feel exactly like that - like once I had a fairly normal cousin who now is enveloped in a cult). From my sample size of 1, here’s what I think led her down the rabbit hole:

“Don’t click that here!”
