I’m too old to date Alia Shawkat and I’m 10 years younger than Brad Pitt. I can’t imagine dating someone that much younger than me.

Which you actually don't know for a fact, but pretend you do.

Yah, true. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I think Bernie is really the best candidate left in the race (not saying much, I know). It just reminds me of that old saw about Christians-“I really like that Jesus guy, but won’t someone save me from his followers?”

They would definitely rather lose with their candidates than lose with Sanders, if that’s what you mean. Because losing with Sanders likely means losing more congressional districts, state legislatures, governorships and senate seats. Meanwhile, they would also rather win with their candidates than win with Sanders,…

The snake moment is I think what killed my enthusiasm for voting for Bernie. I’m going to but that’s just so clear in my mind. The automatic assumption that of course SHE was lying...Bernie would never say such a thing...

Yes, they responded to a woman’s allegations of sexism by calling her a snake and a liar. That’s a good look. Really rallies people (especially women) to the One True People’s Champion.

Ah, but you see, those Sanders goons calling Warren a snake only did so because she *checks notes* put together a plan that realistically laid out how to achieve Medicare for All, and as such is a terrible centrist sellout liberal who must be to the right of Joe. Oh, also She’s using a PAC, which means she’s in the…

I’m a far Left socialist, but I’m also a pragmatist. None of the candidates is progressive enough by my standards, but I also realize someone like me would never be elected. Warren represents enough of a progressive platform that I think she could have moved this country a little bit forward. Not enough, but I’ll take…

Obama liked to use the quote: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” I don’t think this is true. I think the arc of the universe bends towards comfort. The one constant you can say about human civilization is that it’s always more comfortable to be alive today than it was yesterday. And…

I think it’s partly that her support was limited to what you are terming “establishment” voters. Essentially, she was really, really popular among under-40 college-educated voters, but not particularly popular outside of that demographic.

The “best” are the ones that wrote something like “it ruined my hair” despite the fact that it’s not even a hair care product.

Okay, so I’m a white lady from the incredibly diverse state of Wyoming and I was delighted by the ad. I didn’t feel discriminated against at all, because I understand how racism works. Goddamn, we shouldn’t have to placate fragile White Feelings and put them at the forefront when the goal is to empower girls and women…

I don't wear my ring all the time. But I guess I'd make a point to wear it if i were broadcasting to anyone that the state of my marriage was fine? 

I like Widow. I really do.

Neither partner should use physical violence, but when they do, men end up with scratches or bruises, and women end up with broken bones and funerals.

Interesting, but regarding Sex Education, to be fair, the show is intentionally styled to look like it takes place in a fictional quasi-80s-90s world that has modern technology but pays homage to the aesthetic of the John Hughes, 1980s era teen films (part of that aesthetic is that it’s set in the UK but has many of…

I completely agree with you about the weirdness (and baselessness) of wanting to present Depp as a blameless victim in this whole affair. He quite clearly has some dangerous violent and abusive tendencies, and a lot of Depp stans and MRA types completely ignore that.

Chuck Todd and Chris Mathews need to lay off the Nazi comparisons of a Presidential candidate that lost family in the holocaust. 

You’re right that group therapy is wholly different than, say, a public interview. Perhaps you’re correct that being so vulnerable in public is unwise, since it’s certainly earned him some snark here at this blog. From my perspective, however, such a well-known celebrity normalizing some of these coping mechanisms and…

I read the Josie Canseco article, so the rest of you don’t have to. Just, don’t do it. I’ll never get those moments back.
