Oh FFS.

Anyway, Dutoit will soon take a new conductor gig in Russia, now becoming a world haven for unrepentant men accused of sexual assault.

How heroic of you.

My /s isn’t missing — only because I feel too confident that the wise folks on this site know irony without having to be explicitly hand-held.

I had just given birth to my second baby. She burst out of me so fast, my doctor didn’t even make it to the hospital in time, instead he ran into the delivery room, where I was already holding my daughter in my arms. He said, “fuck me!” and I said, “oh no, Doctor, fuck ME!” because there was no time for anesthesia and…

I didn’t go to my ten year reunion because I figured, what’s the point? I’ve caught up with people on Facebook for the most part, and Google makes it easy to snoop on people you loved to hate in high school.

I am terribly sorry that I answered my own question and in the process wrote a blog you found reasonable and informative and I agree we both need to do better

“In truth, the misogynistic elements may be performative—an expression of von Trier’s pathological need to shock, the antagonism that’s become wrapped up in his whole cult of personality.”

Exactly. Look, I agree that the system sucks, some states more than others. I hate having to “choose the lesser of two evils” a lot of times. But then again, don’t you WANT the lesser evil? You want the greater evil to have a chance to win?

I just wanted to say, you’re killing it here. I’m glad you’re here saying the things that I want to say, but my brain can’t get past sputtering “THIS IS HORRIBLE AND DUMB, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS SHIT AGAIN, DID 2016 TEACH YOU NOTHING?!”

“but you, or anyone else, don’t get to be the arbitrator of what constitutes the validity of whether a citizen chooses to vote or not”

This is probably the best article I’ve seen explaining Splinter’s stance on this particular subject. I seriously disagree with it - even if you believe the country is “stuck on autopilot” and voting is too hard and/or soul-crushing, sitting on your hands and waiting for some magical candidate to come and lay waste to…

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

Yes, she is. And so is her husband. And Kido. And even Tagomi in some ways (he’s a part of Japanese Empire regime and complicit in its atrocities) and Joe (he was nice to Juliana but he started by betraying Resistance, became daddy’s genocide helper and then assassin). This is show about many really bad people. The…

I will never understand why they used blue contacts on Henry Thomas. It would’ve looked a lot better if they made Timothy Hutton’s eyes brown.

The devil is always in the details and writers almost always miss the worst implications of their own stories. This is why, of all people, I admire Danny Devito’s choices in, “The War of The Roses”.

I’m not American so Liberty Bell means nothing to me but I was still chilled to the bone by Himmler’s glee. Last season he was selected as a reasonable choice so I’m glad in this one shows decided to remember this is Himmler - the man who was in charge of concentration camps.

Helen was clearly daydreaming about the therapist. She and John have been growing apart. He’s crushed by Thoma’s death too but he’s also trying to protect the rest of the family from consequences and deal with the alternate realities and the guilt these both made resurface. She can’t bottle her feeelings like that and…

beautifully written. thanks for sharing.
