Affleck, who won an Oscar for “writing” the screenplay to Good Will Hunting

She got roughed up, arrested, her car impounded, lost hours of her time and generally fucked over by some dick on a power trip.... but honestly I am mostly relieved that she is still alive. “Still alive” is a pretty low bar, but they can’t make that height all too often.

The biggest person insulted in that quote above is Jane Fonda. Fuck Joss Whedon and others for treating her shitty but it’s not untrue that she is mostly just a pretty face. She is no Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda is Hollywood Unicorn. Drop dead gorgeous but also an amazing actress who can be equally great doing comedy,…

Even including every disaster related to nuclear power, it’s still a safer and cleaner source of energy than coal by many, many miles. Nuclear power has been vilified because of those high profile incidents (and thanks in no small part to companies like Shell and their paid off politicians in both parties), despite…

I’m struck by the similarities between the spin put on gun violence and that put on rape culture. The right always leans on this bogeyman stranger intending to do harm to you and your family rather than the inconvenient truth that violence is more often perpetrated by the devils we know.

Fuck off, Gwyneth.

but she’s later seen approaching mounted police officers

All of this because he lives in a country where the cost of healthcare would kill him otherwise. This is all great and warm and fuzzy, but let’s not forget that this would not be necessary in a country with a working healthcare system for its citizens. 

I’m someone who has gone to a school district over a similar issue with a former bully, and I wholeheartedly disagree with all of this advice except the volunteering bit.

A couple of years ago I was at Chapters (it’s Canada’s big box bookseller). Some flat-biller had parked his lifted Denali pickup across TWO handicapped spots, and left it running. I checked to see if he had a placard or sticker. Nope.

This fascinates me. I used to sit next to a guy at work who was a Republican with two college age daughters. And one time we got on the topic of abortion and he was fully anti-abortion. I asked him, “if one of your daughters needed an abortion so that she wouldn’t die, but you voted against it until it’s illegal, are…

If my suburban lady friends are any indication...

“Man Fills Holes With Penis"

The Republicans are like some sort of mythic south sea tribe, and Liz Cheney is the tribe member who questions whether it’s really necessary to throw women into the volcano since that’s not a really effective way to stop a volcano. And winds up being the next person given over to the lava god.

That Cheney is not whipping a vote means she is planning on sitting this out. She said her piece, she will be the voice of the opposition if the time comes around on McCarthy and the Trumpers. She’ll focus on her primary challenge to survive, see what the election looks like in 2022 and whether Trump is a winning…

Pretty sure it means she coaxed that wild pizza in from the forest with a little tub of ranch dipping sauce. Once it was inside the house, she let it hide behind the radiator while she talked to it in a gentle voice, just so it knew it was safe.

Will’s journey would be more interesting by making it more regular. If he has to live like a regular person, work a regular job, buy regular food, and life off the regular means of that regular job during the journey I’d tune in.

He looks amazing for a man in his 50s.
