Read a passage by Thomas Jefferson today from his "Notes on the State of Virginia"
Racist. Vile. Disgusting.
I've coined the word "hackass" to describe Thomas Jefferson, and regret ever admiring him as a contributor to the declaration of independence

The definition of alt-right in the essay "Dark Jesters Hiding in Plain Sight: Hoaxes, Hacks, Pranks, and Polymorphic Simulations" by David Garcia is... interesting.
"an unholy alliance connecting 'teenage gamers, pseudonymous swastika-posting anime lovers, ironic South Park conservatives, anti-feminist pranksters, nerdish harassers and meme-making trolls whose dark humour and love of transgression for its own sake' have been hijacked by actual white-segregationist neo-Naxis, who used the mischievous culture of lulz as cover to propel their ambitious political program all the way to the White House."
Hard to think of it just as a "culture of lulz" when it's so much more complicated.

That feeling in your stomach you can't explain? That's a big fat red flag. A man who exhibits such obsessive, possessive, stalker-like behavior isn't "sweet" or anything else. When he's drunk because he's mad you're on a date with your boyfriend, first of all, don't undress him. Don't find it endearing when he tries to get you to have sex with him.
And buying a freshman college girl living in a dorm A PUPPY when she has expressed NO desire for one and then going on to tell her you'll keep it at your place so she'll have to come over to see it is NOTHING SHORT OF GROSS AND SELFISH MANIPULATION.
There's nothing like a terribly written romance story with a violent yet somehow described as sweet and thoughtful man to make me as angry as I get over huge societal problems. Congratulations, this book is horrible enough I …

There's nothing like a terribly written romance story with a violent yet somehow described as sweet and thoughtful man to make me as angry as I get over huge societal problems. Congratulations, this book is horrible enough I simply cannot finish it. I can't condone or endure this depiction of creepy possessive men as any kind of positive ideal of a romantic partner or this behavior as a desirable relationship.
Absolutely can not recommend. To anyone.

Nothing exciting. The audiobook was especially obnoxious, with loud random sound effects making parts of the book difficult to hear. The "quidditch world cup coverage" at the end was the worst, with extremely loud shouting obscuring the voices. It tried to sound like live coverage but it was just loud and annoying.
