She should have retired on January 21, 2009 while the Democrats still had control of the Senate. She would have been 75. That should be the mandatory exit time anyway. Thirty-two states make their judges retire at 75 or younger. (Source, Ballotpedia). 

There’s a good article on Slate today about the performative nature of these videos in the US https://slate.com/culture/2020/07/viral-mask-freakout-videos-as-premeditated-performances.html?via=homepage_taps_top

Young persons - according to their friends, both Summer and Diaz use they/them pronouns.

I agree! It sucks I have to write like that to avoid getting sued for libel, and I wish I could comfortably use different language!

That is some Lovecraftian ‘And The Crops Will Not Fail’ weirdness right there, but... racist?  I’m confused.

Reducing the possibility of Trump and Republicans taking government action against Facebook.

A public blood letting? I think you might be the one who needs to chill. The dude is getting mocked, not murdered.

Yes. Sent a public tweet, on their public twitter account, tagging the “offending” restaurant in the tweet, apparently hoping to garner sympathy and also shame the restaurant. Kind of seems like the backlash is their own fault for misjudging public sentiment. 

She’s white so how do you know that it isn't, buddy?????

This is why I only trust people who’ve worked in the service industry.

The show didn’t age well on so many issues like homophobia, transphobia, etc. either.

Oh man, I’d like to see that pic! Contouring is some serious magic! My husband wanted me to show a side by side to truly show how crazy she went with all of the contouring. Its like two totally different people.

I kept cutting and cutting and cutting until I was left with, for lack of a better description, a bangs crew cut. I went thru with the perm. I…

The worst make over I’ve had is easily the make up trial I had before my wedding. I asked for a natural look. Against my wishes, she tried to contour my flat and wide Filipino nose into a pointy one! She thought I looked amazing and took a pic of this for her portfolio. I went with a different make up artist for the…

I loved these books and thought I was going to hate the movie - but I agree - I thought Tom was actually pretty good. Maybe because it felt like he was really just playing himself - a slightly androgynous diva that won’t accept aging or anyone telling him no. And, agree on everyone else - Brad was terrible(between…

I didn’t realize I’m not allowed to talk about what people post to a massive message board. I’m sorry.
