“No major American novelist has led a more privileged life than Wharton did … To be rich like Wharton may be what all of us secretly or not so secretly want, but privilege like hers isn’t easy to like; it puts her at a moral disadvantage … She was … opposed to … woman suffrage … [Wharton] did have one potentially redeeming disadvantage: she wasn’t pretty.”

How will Buffy end?
It’s a recurring thought whenever I step back from the current storyline and think about the longer arc. Especially as we are in probably the last season now (?). I’d like for her to not be a Slayer anymore, since I feel she’s been in a constant state of battle fatigue for quite some time now. There’s a reason that role burns through teenage girls and it’s not just...

In which a boy and his robot talk smack using math
RoboJake: That’s right. I am a machine, and therefore I can keep like billions of calculations or whatever all humming away at once. RoboJake: I tackle shit in background processes that you could only dream of wrapping your exquisite looking head around, even on a great hair day. RoboJake: You know pi?

Oh look who is blogging for Wonkette as of today, again. (HINT IT IS JIM NEWELL.)
Damn, I guess this means I’m reading Wonkette again. I couldn’t read Gawker for anyone, but I can read about truck nuts for Jim Newell. And Ronald Reagan. And America. But mostly Ronald Reagan.

A quick moment for consequences
youneedbettercurses:
So, at the end of Episode 10, we found out that Prince Charming decided to leave his fiancee at the altar and run away for Snow. Let’s look at what consequences that probably had:
His family will now all be murdered and their land burned. So that’s his mom dead.
There are only four kingdoms we’ve heard of in this story: King Angryface’s, Midas’, the Evil Queen’s, and...
