Yo, anybody remember the short story “The Masque of the Red Death”? Your health is only as secure as the least-cared-for member of your society.  

Agreed. So how about an island? The remorseless and irredeemable sociopaths can live out their lives sequestered there while the rest of humanity continues in forward progress. 

Yes, there is no ethical definition that sticks in any real world scenario.  But it’s where the fable of Noah’s ark makes sense: deity looks at a completely fucked up population and says “nvm, start over.” 

Aware. Hence my other reply (below) about the ethics of violence. Just beginning to despair that nonviolent methods (awareness, inclusion, education) don’t seem to matter much to many of them.  What to do when it’s irredeemable?  I don’t have an answer to that.

Indeed, I’ve a longstanding adherence to anarchosocialism as the only valid structure... I just never espoused use of force as an ethical option.  In my old age, I’m increasingly radical. 

I continue to have a recurring thought, that at some point a culling is necessary, that those who refuse to see their fellow human beings as HUMAN BEINGS have to be excised from the population like gangrenous tissue in order not to poison the whole. It’s an extreme position that appears less and less extreme the…

“... really make it okay to outwardly support Donald Trump.” So she acknowledges that it’s NOT okay to outwardly support her troll dung of a father in law, and that they expect white suburban women to know it’s not?? But the train never reaches the station on WHY... The cognitive dissonance is fuckin PALPABLE.  

As the former spouse of an alcoholic I had to beg to stay in rehab only to relapse in 12 hours after 3 months, I welcome the day* my ex has done a fraction of the introspection on display here. And for his former spouse, who appears to have done a great deal to help and support him, kudos to you, you did all you…

I read it as “job” was super surprised.

I have absolutely seen those curtains at Bed Bath & Beyond, and they are not flame retardant. I can hear them just looking at it.  I wish the rest had been a fluted black satin or something.  The top half is so crisp and tailored by comparison for the bottom half to be a mess.  

I’ve always wondered but never said out loud... Where does everyone go to change outfits between ceremony and party? I’m sure traffic is fucked getting out of the theater, and also, none of them live around the corner? Is everyone rushing back to various LA homes and hotel rooms to change and get back in a limo and…

Ok, Janelle Monáe wins, everyone else can go home... especially Saoirse Ronan, to put the tablecloth back. #tophalfcute #bottomhalfmess

Can confirm, loud typing dramatically improves my writing. I know this because my “did you even fucking read the email” replies, though more professionally phrased, are my loudest and most effective compositions. Also, I type about 100 wpm when pissed, so there’s absolutely a proficiency coefficient of rage.

Per my quick googling, the caucuses have predicted the winning primary candidate 43% of the time for Democrats so... IDEK that this matters/is representative, and I’m glad Biden got his balls tapped hard.

Right?? How you gonna need a recount on the FIRST PRIMARY EVENT you run?? 

Favorite tweet from a couple months back said “Sanders is what Millennials wish Boomers were like, and Buttigieg is what Boomers wish Millennials were like.” His presumed popularity made sense after seeing that.  

I am hopeful that, due to her celebrity status and wealth, her statement was written by an assistant/publicist and she only had to approve it, NOT SIT THERE IN HER IMMENSE AND CHOKING GRIEF AND PEN A NOTE TO APPEASE THE MASSES WHO HAVE NOT FELT THE LOSS OF A CHILD. Because she’s already a widow grieving the loss of…

Not actually sure as I am A Poor and do not employ household staff... but butler has a gendered connotation (just as housekeeper is assumed female) and household manager has the ring of a professional role. Some titles, though not explicitly inappropriate, definitely give off a “the help” vibe, incredibly classist and…

Right? That list is an enumeration of SEVERAL people’s jobs, not one person. A “household manager”, er, butler, would actually be the person to coordinate that insanity.  Also, daily reminder, y’all don’t need kids if you aren’t willing to be a parent.  

If only I were PHYSICALLY close enough to trip in her vicinity.
