We’ve seen how this movie ends. Stephens and especially Weiss float to another media outlet with a martyr complex and an extra-large chip on their shoulders (my money’s on The Atlantic) and get book deals with the word “dangerous” in the title. Meanwhile, the Times just summons two fresh goblins to take their place…

I’m so confused. A conservative politician acted like an asshole and then members of his party turned on him? Why did they not simply state that the overall tone on both sides has been embarrassing before voting along party lines? I’ve been breaking this down for 25 minutes and I’m still not getting it. I’ll do it…

My Queen’s English ain’t so good, but I think the proper term for folks like Rees-Moggy is “Upper Class Cunt.”

RIGHT?!

Man, even fictional boomers don’t wanna bother with gen-Xers (or us very-late-seventies-very-early-eighties gen-X adjacent crowd), they just go straight to offing millennials.

Piles and piles of cocaine?

Leight departed shortly afterward and Apple, which multiple sources note is looking for aspirational programming, wanted to ensure the series was focused on the heart and emotion of the central friendship.

“Nick Jonas and Awkwafina will make you Clutch. Your. PEARLS."

...the fuck? That synopsis gave me a nose bleed. 

If they change “shooting” to “shopping” and got Julia Roberts to costar, this could be the Pretty Woman sequel that I never wanted, but which many people would apparently love.

“Black knives matter.”

“Good Job, Knife Nuts.”

I realize that responding to Trump’s verbal diarrhea with data and reason is ultimately pointless, but let’s pause once more to note that London is a far, far safer place than the US as a whole, and far, far, far safer than similar US cities. https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/18/world/london-us-cities-homicide-rates-comparis…

This gets me every fucking time.

Trump fans love his constant grievances and profound emotional immaturity because they see themselves in him.

Yes sometimes when I pay for coffee they thank me profusely and even go so far as to call me “Sir”. So that totally means baristas, and all cashiers really, have the utmost respect and admiration for helping them out by buying stuff. You should see how kind wait staff is to me always checking up me and asking if I…
