OMG! I’m a Pound lover. Mostly just Modernist! I assume you like early 20th century stuffs, too?

Which just goes to show that the real deciding lines are about wealth and power. And those lines are maintained in a large part by pitting poor whites, poor hispanics, poor blacks and poor anyone against each other while the wealthy generally act in lockstep to protect and corner-off their own wealth and power.

You can transfer your 401k into your husband’s account... I know that sounds regressive but it may be the best idea. You may need to take a penalty, but having the sum together makes the investment soar faster.

Ford Maddux Ford... a very prolific and well regarded author from the earlier 20th century. Pound was a big fan and Eliot loved him as well.

OMG I’m kinda baby-crazy but I WANT. I want her to be my daughter :p

That’s an insanely good deal.

Jesus Christ this used to be what people talked about for college. We’re starting the crazy educational debt at 5-years-old now?

I’m partnered and we want kids. One of us has to stay home in MA. It is just unfavorable otherwise.

I wanted to say that “Bonjour Tristesse” is one of my favorite novels ever. Behind “A Certain Smile” and Ford’s “The Good Soldier”.

They moved away from politics in part because they’re not that great at…

I’d vote for Zapp!

I think his #1 hiring criteria for women is that they don’t laugh at his tiny dick.

How much evidence do we need before we realize that the way our system is set up, once you gain wealth and power you inherently work against the American people to keep it. Socialization isn’t just about profits. It is also far more stable as it better manages risk. 

It is intentional. Absolutely intentional. To suggest otherwise just seriously flies in the face of everything we know about these... let’s be honest... they’re America’s “keep the poor people down so they don’t get uppity” police.

It’s also specifically illegal to wear a “mask or disguise” as part of an effort to keep others from exercising their civil rights, an aspect of the law likely put into place because of the Ku Klux Klan

Oh snap!

Tasers kill people too. In the earlier ‘00s there was a big “pro-Taser” push and the effect was that cops, when instructed to use Tasers first as policy, basically ended up torturing people by taking turns hitting them again and again. A number of people died from the immense electric shocks they induce after being…
