Slate's Culture Gabfest and Precious
On Slate's Culture Gabfest, the three (rather annoying) commentators were discussing the film Precious and they discussed the eating of a bucket of fried chicken and how "exploitative" the scene was because the young woman's (who is black if you are not familiar with the film) face was covered in grease.
Just as an FYI to those who have never eaten a large amount of greasy food from a plastic container (chicken, beef, or vegetable based), after eating that much fried food, YOUR face is going to be covered in grease...it happens.
This is not exploitative. This is Cinéma vérité.

B) Is Facebook for the iPhone acting like a gaping maw of suck for anyone else? It is just loading the news feed where it was loading the live feed before. I am using FB Focus to help with this, but it is not nearly as convenient.
C) To the Equality New York folks, I agree with you, however, harassing the Senators to force a vote (especially when your side doesn't have the votes) seems like you are asking to lose...asking to be martyrs...the road is long and tough, but the destination is worth it.

At Wolff's:
TEA was uninterested with the idea of spending time with his father (disproving my less than marginal utility in that role) so watching Chelsea v Man U will have to do.
