i'm watching the 2008 HBO movie RECOUNT about the 2000 presidential election like i'm mark wahlberg talking about 9/11. "yeah if i had been there, gore woulda been president"

I can’t help it the road just rolls out behind me

If there was a better way to go, then it would find me

If your argument for whether or not abuse happened hinges on believing the reality tv industry cares about ethics, I don't even know how to fix you

Shooting at South Carolina Planned Parenthood - FITSNews One wounded, one detained in connection with parking lot incident involving pro-life protester...

Something that always astonishes me: even close readers assume Humbert is attractive because…he says so? His unreliability as a narrator is one of the book’s primary pleasures!

I’m not sure what a magazine that sells a sweet found family workplace comedy could possibly look like but I’d love to find out

(Obviously the eponymous magazine doesn’t use a sweet found family workplace comedy, it uses pictures of men with big dicks)

Just finished Minx. It went out on a high, though I’m obviously sad to say goodbye. Great TV show. Terrific ensemble with dynamic relationships and, like the eponymous magazine, uses a sweet found family workplace comedy to discuss complicated feminist issues. Really recommend.

This is interesting to consider, and it’s also funny to imagine other circumstances where you’d say “I think a lot about the [medical] theory that I heard on twitter”

Rape: On Coercion and Consent. Catharine MacKinnon, 13 pages. In case you're interested!

Therefore, nothing that normal men do—or may want to do—can be considered rape by this definition, no matter how the women or girls it is inflicted on may feel about it.

In defining rape in law and public discourse, Catharine MacKinnon wrote, "The level of acceptable force is adjudicated starting just above the level set by what is seen as normal male sexual behavior, including the normal level of force, rather than at the victim's, or women's, point of violation."

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal."

“Days of our Lives” premiered on NBC on November 8, 1965.

I’ve finally begun watching Minx (2022-2023) and this show was an absolute gem. I’m sorry I missed it the first time around. Great writing, great performances, and my favorite: beautiful metaphor for the creative process. Oh also a ton of full frontal male nudity. Something for everyone!

I’d love to see Ziwe and Isaac Chotiner like trade jobs for a week

one reason i like to recommend On Cinema to people is that the Trial of Tim Heidecker is a monumental achievement in comedy, and this guy was a big reason why

THIS is what power looks like. Starbucks baristas are standing tall, with their shoulders back and their heads high, and they’re showing the world what it looks like to demand a fair contract.

At SEIU, we see you, we back you, and we’ll be there with you @sbworkersunited.org every step of the way.

People will be mad at me for saying this, but I think we have to do it. Nothing is more important for the future of this country, and indeed humanity, than the app that makes you schizophrenic and helps you forget how to learn. The juice is worth the squeeze.

Don't trust a New York Times reporter. Don't talk to a New York Times reporter. They are the most ambitious journalists on the planet and will do anything to get the story their editor wants. The truth doesn't matter to them, only getting the story their editor wants so they can move up.

It was Mysteries of Laura and that’s Debra Messing’s villain origin story
