this is easily my favorite end-of-thread comment of all time.

for true -I suppose I only wrote the defense because I could see myself doing exactly what she described (if I had the income to do so), and feeling super chill about it.

nothing fun is going to happen until the conventions, I expect we’ll have to sift through bunch of this garbage for the next 8 weeks.

I left NYC last year because after six years, I could not handle how fucking hard mundane tasks are in that city. Grocery shopping is truly a whole exhausting deal - you have to calculate exactly how much you can carry home, which limits your options and taking grocery bags on the subway is such a disaster. You also…

Strong point about the third party, only time will tell I suppose. I truly hope no one Naders this election, there’s just too much at stake.

Don’t forget, we went for Rubio, which in a way, is a great comfort because it means our diehard republicans are more reasonable than most.

Sort of a tangent, but I agree that it’s weird that for people of our generation, the enduring caricatures of certain past presidents is all we really know of them. I’ll bet those unconscious biases influence our current political opinions much more than we realize. For instance, I suppose because of cultural osmosis,…

Adding another point of reality to this wildness: Bananas are insanely bad for the environment and the world in general! Clearcutting rainforests kills a LOT more animals than dairy farming and the banana industry literally enslaves millions of people to lifetimes of back-breaking labor...it’s truly one of the least…

wow, so funny what a shared-experience going to see Superbad was. I also went with a huge group of friends, who all loved it and brought the house down laughing. I didn’t though, which felt very weird.

and here’s how he responded to her.

Listen, friend, people on their death beds can’t waste time sweating the small stuff. Let Kara live out her last few moments in the pure, joyful glow that is that header image and then invite yourself to her funeral.

I went to college with her briefly and can tell you that she probably styles herself. Even back then, while the rest of us slumped around campus in wooly boots and beanies, she was always pulled together and polished - to be both a college freshman and stunningly fashionable is no mean feat. Not to mention, she was…

Soooo -

Another huge issue is that somehow the producers think that it makes the show better to invest in huge sets and show pieces instead of reworking the script. They spend endless resources on the dressing and just a fraction on the content.

Wilma Mankiller was the #3 choice to replace him. That also would have been extremely cool.

I have to disagree with you on this one...*

I love this woman! Let’s happy dance, Hils.

Oh yeah, I know. Also that guy who said ‘hide your kids, hide your wife’ is an influence. In both of these instances, the men were discussing truly horrific events that they personally had witnessed or been involved in. The first guy was a goddamn hero who indeed, saved those women by being an upstanding citizen. In…

Yep! Well said all around. Won’t be watching season 2 - as a native american woman, I found the whole show was tainted by that plotline. I thought there were some great bits but overall, why would I keep watching a show who’s head writer doesn’t give a shit about actual Native people’s feedback?
