Personally, I think Elsa works better as asexual, which is what she seems to be now. How many asexual people can you really name in media? Even Sheldon eventually got married. ---

It would work better with the storyline anyway, the Virgin Queen of Whaterver-it-was ala Elizabeth I, dedicating her entire life to ruling her subjects. ---

Yeah, really, that would be a fine status, after all this is a Princess/Queen who is a literal Ice Goddess. Then again we _know_ that as the franchise stretches Disney will likely be looking for ever more ways to “re-humanize” her and to the dismay of Aces everywhere our media culture has no qualms in saying that status is something suited for robots, if at all… … Now let’s move on, this has given me a mindflash of a mashup of Elsa and Oglaf’s Ice Queen. Thanks a heap… ---

I know I don’t have to say it, but while “Extensive criminal history AND Hispanic” is insanely racist, “Extensive criminal history OR Hispanic” makes it so much worse. They’re essentially criminalizing being Hispanic.

Republicans are blocking Chuck Schumer’s request to replace Diane Feinstein on the judiciary committee. The “reason”? They’re concerned she might not get her seat back if/when she ever returns. (Even though _she’s_ the one who requested she be replaced.)

All right, I’m going to say it: It’s time to start bribing or blackmailing some of these people. We know they’ll do whatever they have to to block any Democrat plan, and so actually trying to reason with them is utterly useless.
