Orson is so frustrating. Speaker for the Dead is a wonderful book about not judging other cultures, their practices or desires. Things that may seem shocking to you personally, are normal and celebrated by others.

And it’s written by a bigot. Like dude, have you even read your own book?

It’s a far better Ghostbusters movie than the last two garbage ones that were put out

💯

As a fan of the books, I was initially pretty upset with some of the changes, but I’m glad I stuck with it. The show is it’s own thing that goes to some fascinating places.

I near exclusively take bubble baths. Some nice epsom salt, soft music, chamomile tea. It’s the best!

You should try it, maybe you’d be less of a judgey sour puss.

Perhaps in a purely academic limbo of examining the writing techniques, but that’s not the world any of us actually live our lives. “Death of the Author” is a cop out, especially when the author still lives.

Fundamentally I won’t ever be able to pick up my teenage favorite Sandman again without seeing the parallels between Neil and Morpheus rape, entrapment and abuse of women in their lives. My own personal emotional connection to any of his character, worlds or stories is irrevocably shattered. It sucks but that’s just where we are now.

Neil fuckin Gaiman.

The man monster went from my favorite author to a name that elicits rage and disgust.

Idk, I’m kinda pissed to find out that apparently there was 12 of em.

😒

I’m deeply sorry you had that experience. That has got to be deeply traumatic and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Thank you for what you do. Be gentle with your self.

Kid Rock is the least surprising headliner. Everything about this is trashy, racist BS.

So I’m going to come at this from a different perspective because I’ve put a lot of thought in to this topic in other ways. I’m vegan, meaning I do not buy, consume or use any animal products, which obviously includes leather or fur. However since I am not financially supporting those industries by paying for those products and the perpetuation of animal abuse practices, I consider it moral for me to buy those items 2nd hand.

However I do not, for two big reasons:

1. Ew. It’s literally skin. That’s so gross. I don’t want to touch leather, let alone wear it.
2. The perception of those viewing me, I don’t want to be seen as a person that pays for fur and leather. Wearing an item is tacit endorsement of the item to everyone who views you, strangers included.

So to bring it back around, yes you can thrift fast fashion ethically. So long as you understand that anyone who recognize it as fast fashion, will reasonably think you buy fast fashion and support the industry. Up to you if that’s something you are comfortable with it.

🎶Why you lyen’🎶

“Again, the US attorney’s office, whoever it’s going to be led by in the future — its not going to be Halligan, it looks like — will have to make a choice in the Comey case whether to appeal or whether to try and file these charges again and still deal with some of the same motions to dismiss that Comey has also brought,”

So the question becomes, is there a competent attorney that would tie themselves to the sinking pedo trump ship in the next 6 months JUST to bring up BS charges against comey? I mean there is always someone willing, her name was Halligan. I imagine that all folks qualified for the job probably already said “notybye” the first time.

I wanna laugh and say he is an egg taking an opprutinity to step outside his gender.

But…

Not only did her son not officially report her death, he wrapped her body in a bedsheet, stuffed it into a sleeping bag and hid it in his house.

But it’s not funny, just ghoulish, depressing and scary. That poor woman, she deserved better than whatever tf we call this.

Gawwdan preventing rebinding is so annoying! Or it’s monkey paw wish cousin, letting you rebinding but the on-screen prompts are hard coded to display the default key.

In a simmiliar accessibility vein, I’m hard of hearing so when a game has no option for subtitles then at best I catch 1/3rd of the story.

Peak Streisand effect. I actively dislike Kimmel, but I watched the video that made the orange boomer mad.

You’re not wrong. State rights is bit of a right wing soundbite.

Time well tell.

McMahon has argued that the recently ended government shutdown showed how unnecessary her agency is. “Students kept going to class. Teachers continued to get paid. There were no disruptions in sports seasons or bus routes,” she wrote. “The shutdown proved an argument that conservatives have been making for 45 years: The U.S. Department of Education is mostly a pass-through for funds that are best managed by the states.”

As always, the question is “States rights to do what?”. And when it comes to education, we all know the answer is abstinence, creationism and the benefits of slavery.

Federal law directs that these programs be housed in the Education Department. The Trump administration is employing a work-around, the people briefed on the matter said, whereby other government agencies would run the Education programs under a contract with the Education Department.

I’m not sure if I am relieved that they aren’t even doing the state control BS.

The actual numbers are so much worse. The 15% overall “didnt know” is watered down from ~30% Republicans. They are lying either to the pollsters or more likely, themselves.

and every cunt with a “he/him” or “she/her” in twitter bio that doesnt need it.

🙄

Prounon stolen valor isn’t a thing. And yelling at folk trying to gatekeep it as such is far more harmful to our community than any amount of “virtue signaling” from those you deem unworthy.

Holy heck in wow! Love the art direction! I’m always a sucker for deck builders, but I haven’t seen one with such a cute style! Might just be picking this up soon.
