“the fact that he didn’t give a shit the danger he was putting himself and the White House in is just the shit-covered cherry on the cake.”

That has been my takeaway too. I was in middle school at the time so anyone older than 18 seemed old to me, but now that I realize just how young she was and how thoroughly they destroyed her life my heart goes out to her. She was a young, promising woman who made a mistake (albeit in a wholly imbalanced power…

Does anyone else listen to the podcast Slow Burn? The first season was about Watergate, but they’re in the middle of season 2, about Clinton’s impeachment. I was a teenager when this was all going on, and I’m learning so much about stuff I didn’t realize, or misremembered. And really the main takeaway for me has been…

Right, but the context here is that she explicitly said no to the question being asked and then the interviewer explicitly ignored that request. It’s really hard for me to see any gray area here.

Yeah, something like “What kind of closure do apologies bring for people that are victims of this type of behavior online? Can you get over this type of incident without an acknowledgment from the aggressor that it was inappropriate and shouldn’t have happened?”

You have to have your head up your ass not to know that ML doesn’t want to talk about Clinton in interviews.

I don’t think we have these in Canada, so maybe this is why I don’t get these. Why wouldn’t you just make your own crustless sandwiches? Wouldn’t it cost less and wouldn’t you be able to have any jelly/jam/marmalade you wanted? What’s the benefit here?

I will tell you the secret to uncrustable magic. You get a frozen strawberry uncrustable, if you get grape you’ve already fucked up, don’t be gross. You pop it in the microwave for like 10 seconds, maybe 15. The jelly somehow turns into sweet delicious hot syrupy lava encased in a still icy peanut butter shell. It’s…

If we lie to her and tell her ‘Israel’ is just a euphemism for Mars, do you think she’d buy it and go there instead?

Dear Israel:

“It’s my great joy and privilege to be a Jewish woman.”

Yay! I was hoping the bookstore lady would be here telling wonderful Keanu tales!

To this day, in my decade-long (and still going) career in books, Keanu has been THE most delightful bookworm/book collector/now indie publisher I’ve ever had the pleasure to sell books to. Extremely well read, and loves to discuss books with you, with so much enthusiasm.

Black women are awesome.

Players learning that taking the chance of being blackballed by the NFL for standing up for causes is worth making a stand for, even if it means you can’t be a baller anymore. I’m glad she spoke out and hope more black athletes speak out about it. Might reach some young men who aren’t too focused on making that money…

Serena could have kept it moving and not say anything or ride the fence.

I’ve always viewed the kneeling as a patriotic act. We live in a democracy. It’s the duty of American citizens to point out to the government when there is a problem, and when the government is doing a horrible job. These guys are risking their jobs to make a public statement of those facts.

But, but..... over paid spoiled athletes.... Black on black crime.... shut up and serve/dribble/throw... our beloved veterans and fallen (except rino McCain) .... Chicago! Hilary’s Emails! Blacks want to get sho by police so their families can sue and get paid by the government!
