Climate crisis reminds me of the Others in GAME OF THRONES. As badly-behaving humans traumatize others, get traumatized, attempt to recover from being traumatized and succeed, or fail:
climate crisis (the true Other) deepens in power and moves to destroy us all.
Trump splits his time between the campaign trail for the presidency of the United States and a New York courtroom in which a jury found him guilty of sexual assault and defamation. How is this even a thing?
Damn. The judge in the E. Jean Carroll case just said this to the jurors: "It has been determined already that Mr. Trump did sexually assault Ms. Carroll, that he knew when he made the statements about Ms. Carroll that [they] were false, that he made them with reckless disregard"
Electing a man for President of the United States even though he has an admitted history of sexually harassing women and has been found guilty of sexual assault and defamation in a court of law, seems the very definition of rape culture. Just saying.
Love this: MSNBC just interviewed a New Hampshire voter who said, “Biden is doing a better job than people give him credit for. He has got a lot done on infrastructure. I believe climate change is real. He has done something on it, almost nobody else has.” Exactly right.
Saying "antisemitism is f*cking evil" isn't referring to anything except a form of irrational hatred of the so-called Other that gives rise to exactly the kind of atrocities that should never be ignored, overlooked or minimized. Just saying.
SUCCESSION is satire, yet the Trump presidency is one of so many things in this culture that would seem and read like satire, I am beginning to think that that word ‘satire’ does not mean what it is supposed to mean…which is kind of the satire.
A friend had to postpone something because her flight home was canceled due to unexpected volcanic activity.
I want to go back to school just to use that as an excuse. “No, the dog did not eat my homework. There was unexpected volcanic activity.”
I feel the same about the soap opera SANTA BARBARA back when the series starred a young unknown actress named Robin Wright. I also remember that a) I was crushing on the character Mason Capwell and b) the writers had this delightfully wicked sense of humor.
People who suggest that women don’t want to computer program or that there’s a “pipeline problem” overlook the fact that programming started off as women’s work: regarded as clerical, low-paid.
