I hope your birthday is fine.

To me, it’s okay to say “we’re biologically the same, so don’t be racist” but it’s not okay to say “we’re biologically the same, so race doesn’t matter.” This quote seems to be more of the former, where as Meryl’s... well it SEEMS to be more of the latter, but I really don’t know what she’s trying to way.

Some other fun ones about those once beautiful women who tragically turned 30:

You know Joan is just going to show up at the last minute and claim that the entire estate belongs to her.

A 5'7" woman with a maximum weight of 120 pounds. Yeah okay dude.

It actually made me like him a smidge.

I’ve read all of her recording contacts, and it was fascinating to see how they changed as she was able to gain control over her career. I can’t say more due to confidentiality.

That’s nice, but I’ll just point out again that none of this pharma bro bullshit is what actually got him in trouble. Congress, the courts, the cops, none of them gave a shit when he was bankrupting seriously ill patients. It was only when he stole money from other rich assholes that he faced any sort of consequences.

Yeah, the usual response up here when anyone says something involving the USA? “Americans are fucked” and then we laugh. Our country isn’t all sunshine and rainbows but we must look like a utopia to a lot of Americans.

“Hymn for the Weekend”

I am *cringing* watching this shit. Just when I thought I couldn’t hate Coldplay anymore.

She does and she should more, because that raspy voice of her is begging for it. I’m glad she’s embracing it rather than trying to pretty it up.

Higher holy fuck higher

Oh fuck off.

Whoa whoa- if you’re a sex worker, you agree to sex of some specific nature ahead of time; it’s not a “do whatever you want” situation for the John just because he’s paying for it. If you have a violent, “terrifying” encounter, you aren’t then somehow obligated to either forfeit your money or call the police on…

Ew. You are gross. No, you can’t assault someone simply because she is a sex worker. If she does 10 rough sex scenes a day, that doesn’t mean that any man can do whatever he wants with her. If a sex worker still takes the money after being assaulted by a client, she has still been assaulted. That is not simply a…

Assuming this happened, I’m fine with her outing him even if we assume that every aspect of the encounter was negotiated beforehand. I also don’t see any reason why we should assume she consented to it just because she has before. I mean, I’m a gay man and have consented to bottoming before, does that mean you’ll…

I still believe the hell out of her.

I so appreciate this breakdown. It’s not pretty but it’s honest. Upthread I was trying to say something similar...in fact, I’m always trying to articulate this argument through one metaphor or another but don’t always have the right vocabulary to voice my opinions.

I cannot imagine how angry people will be if Sanders is elected...and he accomplishes nothing. It is Congress that needs to change, because it is Congress that enacts and passes laws. The POTUS has veto power, not a magic wand.
