conservative talking points that aren't in the briefs...
Assumes facts not in evidence -
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.
'Get It Done'
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The courts have always been political. The idea of a court that just "calls balls and strikes" is laughable when you to Supreme court level. And for the most part it has been the most reactionary branch of government. We had decade or so that was an exception under the Warren court, but honestly, the Dred Scott decision is more typical. Dred Scott, corporate personhood, upholding Jim Crow for more than a century, striking down important parts of the New Deal, Bush Vs. Gore, Citizens United, that is typical of the history of the Supreme Court.
[Edit] Of cxourse the Warren court was political too - just a different politics.

Oh no, I'm so sad Adrienne Rich has died. She was my favorite poet.

So...my sister just discovered TV Tropes, and I did what I had to do, and now I feel kinda mean.One of my fandom friends got hired by them. I had no idea what to say when she told us.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Go to the address on your paycheque and take pictures!"
No? Requires too much context?
Just tripping through my new-favourite-tumblr and stumbled onto a false equivalence between bondage and subjugation. Without source information for me to see if she's objecting to a consensual scenario, or something objectifying or what.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The tv tropes thing is such a bizarre part of our history. I'm still here. I feel totally broken.

I got ass-cappy on my sister, when she was just trying to enjoy her first hit. It was mean. But I don't let go easily.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw, Allyson. Has your dad, I dunno, apologized?

It's just tense and weird. I went to see lorax with my niece and nephew. I can't believe this is my vacation and birthday. I wish I could jump on a plane and get home but then my mom will cry. When I get home I'll have a good sob. And I'll never do this again. I just feel a little homeless in that Los Angeles doesn't feel like home, and home feels like shit. Kind of midlife crisis-y in that I'm not quite sure what the fuck I am doing and I'm horribly unhappy. I just don't much like being alive any more. It's too much work and no reward.
