I largely eschew social media, due to an old stalker and a constitutional aversion to selfies. So if anyone who sees this would be so kind as to share the GoFundMe my neighbor set up on my behalf so that I wouldn’t get evicted because of my chef roommate, I would really appreciate it. Please enjoy the adorable cat…

All the kids in Captain Fantastic were fantastic.

Here it is told by an Oscar-nominated filmmaker using Barbie Dolls.

Livestrong stopped funding actual research early on, and kept more dollars than were ever spent on outreach and awareness.

Extortion, fraud, blackmail, just off the top of my head. He actively sought to destroy those who questioned him.

I know it’s not football, but the way he got tossed made me think that Divot would be an excellent name for a cat.

I can still remember the feeling in the pit of my belly when I first saw that.

The Barber of Seville overture is just automatically funny because of that.

And yet the men’s razors are usually better.

Not every woman knows about the pink tax, and even those who do often don’t know the extent of it. They’ll do things like use deceptive packaging to make a “woman’s” product cost far more per fluid ounce than the same formula in “men’s” packaging, for example. 

Your car reminds me of the BMW with 30-day tags that I saw parked illegally at the end of a block of slant-parked cars on NW 18th in Adams Morgan, blocking the curb cut and access to the handicapped space. As usual when confronted with vehicular asshattery, I wished for the power of psychokinesis, and went in the…

They’ve deliberately been starving education, public services, and infrastructure ever since Reagan, because that decreases civic engagement, which decreases voter turnout, which increases Republican power.

Fuck you, Bernie.

The problem in Venezuela is not socialism, it’s corruption.

Actually, I did say quite explicitly that he denied the existence of the levers, and that when confronted with evidence of their existence, he continued to deny their existence within his own orbit, saying they must just be on the West Coast rather than admit that he’d simply never noticed them. That was, in fact, the…

Yes, of course, but I’ve never been in a gas station that objected to you refilling your water bottle. The point was because he never noticed them, they didn’t exist.

I once got into this absolutely ridiculous argument in response to an article on Gizmodo about bottled water from someone adamant that carrying a Nalgene would be inconvenient, because he was on the road constantly, and wasn’t going to fill it in a gas station bathroom. When I pointed out that every gas station and…

They hid the facts by deleting 22 million emails from a private server that was maintained by the RNC. Who also got hacked by Russia, don’t forget. There’s a reason the GOP is so compliant. 

I do closed captioning for a living. We’re supposed to clean people’s speech up to varying degrees, depending on what kind of file it is. A genuinely verbatim file is fairly rare, and it’s usually something really intense like a victim testimonial.
