My first thought -- “He’s running against a woman in a red district, it’s not really a contest now.” I know, I’m a terrible person.

You know, you could have just posted the story, and we all would have been more informed. And you’re right, the news here tends to focus more on some topics than on others — but that’s not a conspiracy, that’s how you run a blog. They’ve got some good journalism and opinion pieces, but FFS, they also have a…

It makes me sad to know that someone (likely several someones) will make the same joke today and not be joking.

Or, you know, just don’t execute anyone. Stahp.

So...alt-broken windows?

Stephen Colbert played a version of himself that was not really himself, and made statements that were (on the surface) not in line with what Real Colbert believes. But even if one lacked the context or foreknowledge to know it was an act, and the intelligence to figure it out from all the various nod-and-winks going…

I’m firmly in the “why be offended by other people’s food choices?” camp. But if you’re going to order a steak overcooked and then slather it in ketchup? Just order a hot dog or a bowl of Chef Boyardee, you’ll have more dignity that way.

Except the Bull has become a hooray Wall St. power symbol, whether that was what the original artist intended or not. So the Girl is...whatever our culture decides she represents over the next decades. And the original artist should get over himself.

Where did they find this person?

W. had no business being president. The moment the news broke that he was painting now and I saw the picture his did of his own feet sticking out of the bath, I knew, “That’s what he’s meant to do. He’s supposed to bum around on a ranch and paint, not run big companies and governments.” He’s just not much of a leader.…

He not only makes W. look competant, he makes me actively long for the halcyon days of W.’s presidency again.

Not to mention how the kids probably wouldn’t have been hurt by accident by the stabber — assuming this is a domestic violence situation, which is almost certainly is.

...the man...became “very upset” and said that he was a doctor who needed to see patients at a hospital in the morning.

I wasn’t going to have any sex with misogynist bros anyway. Neither were most if not all women who care about such things. And the women who don’t care will keep having sex with them, not matter what us feminists are up to. So I can see why a sex strike is an attractive idea, but I have no idea how you’d ever get it…

Of course she’s oblivious and thinks her life is normal — she’s the adult “golden child” of a malignant narcissist, which means she’s probably a malignant narcissist herself.

It really angers me that Ailes is never going to see the inside of a prison cell for this crap.

That makes more sense to me. Why make a special carve out for women with terrible periods when you could cover anyone who needs a few extra days off a month to deal with their chronic medical issues, and avoid the sexist backlash in the process?

I marvel at that photo every time I go on Ryan’s Twitter or Facebook (pretty sure I’ve seen it there too) to hate-post. Happy children of mixed ethnicity, Ryan’s own face hidden, the color pallet, the tonal balance, the unusual perspective, the spontaneous but near perfect composition. This is some master-level…

Is it transphobia or just cheeky naughtiness that relies on the standard binary? I’m not sure it’s full on bigotry if someone is merely un-woke.

I’d rather be a child now. (1) What is going on in the world wouldn’t scare me so much right now. (2) TV is so much better, including for children. (3) I’m not sure how early they give diabetic kids insulin pumps now, but it’s younger than I got mine, and I’d rather have had the childhood with fewer needles and less…
