Thank fuck.

omg it’s almost as if two heterosexual people of the opposite gender can be friends without it becoming romantic! i know, i know, Hollywood doesn’t usually understand human behaviour so we shouldn’t expect too much.

That exactly.  I’m a fan of a band because I like the music, the only people in bands I actually care about are my friends that are in bands.  I don’t know the guys in Goose(I met Pete’s aunt and grandma tho) and I really don’t care about them beyond the general ‘They’re people so I care about them’ feeling, as long…

I remember seeing a clip of a grown woman at a show crying. I can’t imagine living a life so sad that seeing your favorite singer up close makes you a blubbering mess, and my life is really, really sad.

It’s amazing that the fandom of Swift, one of the most popular, rich, and powerful people in pop-culture, relies almost entirely on seeing her as a victim or at least constantly in danger of being victimized. 

I suppose, since it’s in the context of more efficient energy use anyway, we could fuck it off into the cold depths of Jupiter instead.  But otherwise agreed.

Just heard on the radio yesterday that one of the weirdest things about the whole Branch Davidian shenanigans was that the guy who blew the whole thing wide open (metaphorically; the guys who blew the whole thing open literally were the geniuses at the ATF) was an Australian, an ex-lieutenant of Koresh’s who was kinda…

Hehe, I was looking for this. Prost! *belch, pulls own plug*

I know he’s been in a ton of stuff, but every time I hear his name I think of Some Kind of Wonderful.

I will never forgive Elias Koteas for what he did to Bullet in season 3 of The Killing 

the comment i was replying to was about post-9/11 and the comics, and saying that america was united at that point and there was no internal rage. my point was the comic writer is not american, so that doesn’t really apply.

Stop this already and let’s get a She Hulk/Jessica Jones show.

It blows my mind when Americans are like “why are their so many school shootings and masacres” yooooo. Maybe you guys shouldn’t have guns be super available to the public no? It’s insane viewing it from an outsider stance.

That’s true, they even use the phrase “Democrat run cities” when referring to Chicago, NY, LA (apparently tRump just said it about Milwaukee). But, all large cities in the US are democrat run, even in the reddest of red states.

The other one that’s becoming common is equating homelessness with crime. I understand that SF and LA probably do have problems with homelessness but so do all large American cities. But it’s pretty amazing that they’re convinced people in Appalachia or the rural south (rural America in general) that poverty=crime. 

Tell me about it! I not only work in San Francisco, I work in the TENDERLOIN, largely considered the roughest part of the city, and based on the beliefs of folks who don’t live here, you’d think I spend every moment of every day dodging bullets while hopscotching over feces and needles*. In 30 years, I’ve literally…

i’m dying laughing at you defending this like your life is on the line.

It’s just another form of political ‘othering.’ The only people who can confirm anecdotally that their cities are safe aren’t the intended audience of these claims. They want people who don’t live in large cities to think they aren’t safe there and that if they go, they’re going to be shot - because if they do go and…

It’s so funny to me when I see conservatives online talk about how New York is such a shithole and you can’t walk down the street without tripping over used neeedles or getting mugged and it’s like... you know this city wouldn’t be so wildly expensive to live in and be one of the largest tourist destinations in the…

The precise origins of the phrase are disputed. According to American historian Robin D. G. Kelley, the phrase “began as a Zionist slogan signifying the boundaries of Eretz Israel.” Israeli-American historian Omer Bartov notes that Zionist usage of such language predates the establishment of the State of Israel in…
