Watching The Family Stone for the first time. You were all not lying about how fucked up this movie is.
I do not care for these people.
Maybe there is a happy ending, like the house burns down and they all die, except Meredith who is safely at the inn?
Sorry, I don’t believe any of these people travels by bus
I wanted her to run off that bus and be like “No, of course I’m not going to date you, you just very weirdly broke up with my sister and also you and your family are terrible. I just got off because nobody who spends as much as I do at the colorist would travel by intercity bus.”
“Now, where is the airport?”
This ending is intolerable, it makes me so mad
Most of all, this film is a slander against the great commonwealth of Massachusetts
Also the film is from 2005, before gay supporting characters were allowed to be interesting

Carrie murdered Big
Samantha was always the most ethical of the four and now she's gone and now look what's happened
"Carrie Bradshaw goes on trial and is sent to minimum-security prison for denying Big life-saving medical care" would be a more fun plot line for this season than what we're surely going to get

Of course the piece calling discussion of Latinx a “distraction” also urges Biden to move left on immigration and treats immigration policy as the key driver of Hispanic public opinion.
As the parties have polarized on immigration, Hispanic voters have swung toward the GOP, and in an especially pronounced way in south Texas. The problem is “the groups” are opposed to immigration enforcement and must perpetuate the idea that Hispanic voters share their agenda.
Why are Hispanic voters souring on Biden? Well, mostly for the reasons his numbers are falling with the whole population— the economy is the top issue for almost every demo— and there’s also poll evidence that Dem stances on crime/police especially hurt with Hispanic voters.

People ascribing this to “red-baiting” are willfully choosing not to understand why she couldn’t get to 50 votes
Liberals are drawn like moths to a flame to whatever part of a political story gets an identity politics frame, especially with video of conservatives behaving badly. It’s how they so badly misunderstood what the schools issue meant in Virginia.
To Dems, the “schools issue” was about a bunch of nuts ranting at school board meetings and confederate apologists trying to neuter history curricula. Completely glossing over the more mundane areas: my kid’s school was closed too long, quarantine is a constant risk, etc

People sure do say “fuck” a lot these days
It’s kind of wild, homeowners with “Fuck Joe Biden” flags on flagpoles
I mostly think it’s tacky (the flags and other public written expressions, at least) but then I think a lot of things people do are tacky

I hope they're moving this so it doesn't step on the president's message that every adult should get a booster. But they should send Biden back in front of cameras to say that a few more times.
This is the sort of thing where the president needs to lead. Get the pharmacy CEOs on the phone, ask them to put big-ass signs in every store that say anyone over 18 can get a free booster. The audience for the signs is *staff* as much as customers.
It's really hard to get people to pay attention to things. You have to say it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

This isn’t news out of Israel. It’s an Israeli professor describing the same thin anecdotes from South Africa we’ve heard already.
There is only one confirmed Omicron case in Israel so there’s obviously no data to be had about how Omicron patients are doing in Israel.
The SA government dashboard also shows a marked rise in hospitalizations in Gauteng (from a low base). The national numbers are more muted because hospitalizations are reported as falling elsewhere. But it also warns latest week data may be incomplete. nicd.ac.za/diseases-a-z-i…
