I live in the South, I’m screaming inside my fucking heart every day.

All I can tell you is that when good, intelligent, creative, ambitious, young people choose careers, they don’t become police officers.

WOW!

It may be established, even approved, procedure for that department.

This one makes the rounds a lot, but I love it.

sighs, goes and watches Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, episode entitled “Duet”

It helps them die, which was the goal of these ghouls.

Can anyone explain how holding someone’s nose while a baton is in the mouth helps anyone?! If this was an overdose or someone swallowed drugs, why nose-holding and baton and not Narcan™? You’re not even supposed to put anything in the mouth of someone having a seizure.

You definitely seem to “get it”

Believe me, it pains me to go against Mrs O’s “go high directive”. What’s the point of a moral high ground if it’s on quick sand because the other side keeps eroding the standards. To also use The Good Place as an example, a morally right value does not always bring net good to the world. To win back the higher ground…

Disney: “Republicans buy tickets to Star Wars too.”

Yes they do. They uphold white supremacy because they see people of color (and women, tbh) as inferior. They want white supremacy recognized as the backbone of society and for every one to “know their place” (subservient to white people). They know that racists have never gone away and are tired of hiding. In a sick,…

This is the part I respectfully disagree with. It’s not about what they do. It’s about who I am. And while I certainly feel every bit as strongly about reciprocating punishment for punishment, blow for blow, and indeed have even posted as much in the past, I prefer to think of myself as a better sort of person than…

Sloane is one of the more interesting recent Star Wars universe characters.  But she does kind of disrupt a certain theme in the Star Wars films which was that the Empire was a haven for white Space-British guys while the Rebellion/Resistance was relatively diverse in comparison.  

That crack at Little Havana will go over well with Cuban-Americans in Florida during an election year.

Oh come on...Katie’s working on the Cool Girl Double Whammy here. She has to be so damn complicit in the administration’s misogyny that it negates her status as female, and so damn racist that they forget that she’s not exactly alabaster. It must be exhausting, and leaves no room for empathy or basic humanity.

I think you missed the implication that the bugs didn’t “show up”. We invaded their colonies and they fought back.

I’m going to be the naysayer here. If you want to make a movie about how elevating the military above all other sectors of society is bad, why set it against the Bug invasion? An utterly alien, completely uncommunicative, ravenous enemy who will kill you to the last just for being in their way. What solution is…

Starship Troopers is the best satire of the War on Terror anyone’s put on film yet, which is why it’s genuinely creepy that it came out in 1997.

society has left itself a single solution to every problem, and it doesn’t work.
