Bernie Sanders

Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little? No, I don't.

--from the book Necessary Trouble (2016) by Sarah Jaffe. In the first Democratic debate between candidates for the 2016 presidential election, Sanders was asked if he was a capitalist.

Q [People Magazine]: Do you enjoy playing villains?

Emma Thompson: I loved it. I feel I'm growing towards monstrosity year by year. I'm just getting more and more difficult and unpleasant. No acting required really.

I can't watch the dead-girl SVUs anymore. I can't watch the dead-girl movies or read the dead-girl books. I can't listen to the dead-girl podcasts or read the dead-girl articles. I know many women can. Many women make them! And they have their reasons, whether because they are too colonized to see the cannibalization or because they've passed through the vortex and emerged, enlightened, into some post-gendered-violence world that I can't imagine, or something else. But I can't do it. I have shut the door to my mind; I don't want to take it in.
