On The Stacey Q Gap
I feel the need to clarify that the molecular physics was later, years after Stacey Q took up her cursed brain cells. I'm not THAT old.

On The Stacey Q Gap
Aaaagh! Damn you for reminding me a) this exists b) how old we all are c) that the lyrics to Two of Hearts are taking up space that I tried to use for molecular physics. Damn it. (weeping soft middleaged tears, clutching tattered 80s memorabilia) (fade to black)

Oh, my word. Someone please, please tell me these are all fake / jokes? Fake jokes? Please? My brain hurts a little now.

On The Best New TV Show of the Fall Season
That this isn't really strictly true in the real world is beside the point.
Choire my darling, between this and the "I never believed mainstream media were biased", I am either the most cynical bitch alive, or you are so much more adorably naive than I used to think. (Or both???)
I adore Madeline Stowe and the plot of Revenge sounds nearly-ripped from one of my favorite super-cheesy not-quite-romance novels (called I think Inheritance? OK, I found it at someone's house on vacation, this is embarrassing) where the young lady is cheated out of her inheritance by horrible rich people and she spends the next 10 years building an empire and gradually reclaiming what is rightfully hers. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

On Why Should We Demonstrate? A Conversation
Firstly, oh, this was so lovely and thank you and yay. Secondly, the discussion about irony is so spot-on and hurty in my heart, as a bleeding-heart liberal, as in, how the f*ck is anything ever going to change when everyone is way too cool for school to do anything about anything? Lastly, as a humorless, earnest activist I feel duty-bound to point out that there are in fact lots of intelligent, well-educated anarchists of various stripes out there, because I am one and have worked with a bunch of others.
Oh, and the other reason protest movements are largely populated with students is a) earnestness b) time and c) ABILITY TO RISK ARREST. The older and more bought-in to the system you become (job; kids; mortgage; health issues; etc) the harder it is to risk arrest, and thus to risk your own security by throwing a wrench into the works, because the wrench can get smashed just as well as the works can get jammed, if y'know what I mean. The fact that striking is much more difficult in the US than in socialist countries (weakening of unions / social safety net, increase in police state) is not an accident.

On What if Obama Does a Full-Reverse on Gay Marriage Today?
Would I be a naive jackass if I said maybe, juuuust maybe, he might actually come out and be the smart nerdy ex-con-law professor guy who points out that it doesn't matter a fuck what his personal religious beliefs are, because WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IN THIS COUNTRY, and that means we shouldn't be legislating religious decisions? I mean the fact that we are so balled up in whether he personally, religiously, godly believes in it or not being, theoretically I mean, totally irrelevant?
Hahahaha I would, right? Yeah, I thought so. #livesingermany
