I have a thought.

Huh. As an ACTUAL journalist myself, I can only imagine that a “classically trained journalist” has better posture, knows which fork to use at all times, can dance a marvelous quadrille, and no doubt leaves all that lower class work of raking up facts and figures to the unwashed “professional” classes of journalist.

Yeah, I had to explain to a friend what it meant. Once I did, she rolled her eyes and said, “The 1600s called, they want their insult back.”

Makes sense, especially if you subscribe to the Branagh reading of Iago. So in this version:

I’ve had a sick feeling ever since I heard “The Lady Vanishes” episode of Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History podcast. In it, he examines moral licensing - that phenomenon where people pat themselves on the back for doing one progressive and inclusive thing, and then close ranks tighter than ever.

Yeah and I loved Kate McKinnons take on the intimidation attempt. “Oh no! Mistresses? Bill how could you? How will I ever go on?

Yeah, but My Deat Emerson swears by Boudreaux Butt Paste. He works in heavy denim and canvas pants every day, we live in the tropics, and he’s hot natures as it is. Apparently it’s great for chafing on your inner thighs.

Trump is incapable of dealing with a woman his age on a level playing field when she doesn’t work for him, sleep with him, isn’t in a bikini, and is smart and capable. He just has no idea how to deal with her - so he doesn’t. He attacks Bill, who’s a man. Now he can attack Obama. He is attacking AROUND her because he…

So...okay. Fifty Shades of Gray, a novel that Trump has almost certainly not read, and the success of other mainstream “erotic” fiction has created an atmosphere in which men just naturally find it okay to talk about women and assault like the two go together. Okay.

Memberries are a helluva drug.

People who are posting naked and semi-naked pics of their children, toddlers, infants, no matter how cute they are: FOR THE LOVE OF BENSON, people. HAS LAW AND ORDER: SVU TAUGHT YOU NOTHING???

Love D’ssolvit by Cailyn. Got mine on Amazon. Huge jar, takes very little — it's this cream/gel stuff that just melts into your face, and then you wash it away. Used it once in a trial size and fell in love.

You can usually find Borns and other higher end brands at Dillard's... Clarks stores are good too. Outlet malls often have a Clarks or similar outlet with good quality shoes on sale.

In the years from now when America is merely a smoking ruin, survivors will look to the past at our one shining moment of glory and rebellion in the face of lunacy, and the name “Deadspin” shall be honored above all, for bravery in the face of a psychotic clown. The only rallying cry we should have ever had: “Go fuck…

YESSS

NOOOO! He is seriously the best. He has really upped the level of the show just by virtue of being a better actor than most.

I’ve been binge streaming SVU for a few days now, and I really need to talk about this with someone: how did it take Raul Esparza so long to join the cast, and what did they ever do without him?? He is absolutely delightful. I have never enjoyed the show as much as I have when he is being the snappiest, snarkiest DA…

The secret to Donald Trump’s glowing reports from the public is extremely simple.

Yep. It’s a bit of a specialized modality but it can work wonders if you have TMD/TMJ issues. Not very comfortable to have done, but it can work.

I have this MIL also. She kept it up for a while, and then she attacked me in front of my husband once, and was rewarded with him withdrawing from her completely. So she stopped doing that and started playing nice. Then everyone got along mostly, so she switched to passive aggressive criticism of our relationship (but…
