After hitting the end of the NYT piece, I decided on Klobuchar’s campaign poster:

Too bad Veep  already filmed its last season :/

Huh! Good to know!

I think this is the only possible comb one could potentially eat with. I’d still just use my hands though lol.

Fair enough. 

I just can’t get over the fact that, in my mind, the situation went down as follows:

Counterpoint: do we think Amy Klobuchar, white woman from MN, was carrying around a hair pick, also known as an afro pick? I’m going to go with no on that one.

To be fair, this one seems a little less Priestly-like (would Miranda have deigned to eat without proper utensils? I think not), and more akin to something an alien would do while trying to act human.

Beyond how deliberately non-human it seems, it’s also just poor problem solving. Eating off a comb cannot be fucking easy, and sounds like it has a huge potential to create a mess. And who has a comb that’s sharp enough to spear things with anyway?

I wasn’t going to vote for Klobuchar in the primaries before anyway, but I don’t think I could honestly elect an official who looked at a salad, didn’t have a utensil, and thought you know what, I’ll just use my comb for this instead of using their goddamn fingers as our hominid ancestors intended.

I’m crying, that’s awkward as shit. I’d have thought you’d have gotten away with not having to talk to him as I can’t imagine anyone wanting to explain to their fiancé that they know a person b/c of a one night stand, but obviously you must have since you know it was his fiancé? Anyway how did that conversation go?

I would make a terrible president, ‘declaring a national emergency’ would be my favorite go-to joke for every minor inconvenience.

I refuse to believe that Oscar Wilde would not love the drama/hilarity of Kim and Kanye’s kid being named Wilde West.

Extra points if they spell it “Wilde”.

Wild. Please let them pick Wild.

Somehow, this is the funniest concept I’ve watched in 2019—peak comedy and absolutely genius on so many levels. Especially considering it all builds off the base of ‘I, an adult woman, do not have any respect for my third step-mother, an adult woman not that many years older than me, and never will’.

This is an excellent point/question! My name is nick-name proof (thanks, Mom!), and I can’t imagine having a nickname past, at most, high school.

All these racist white men look the same, I saw that header image and I just sat there for a minute thinking “but I thought Jeff Sessions resigned?”.

Love Sherrod Brown—I’d feel conflicted about him running for POTUS because he’s my senator and I like him right where he is.

Hard agree, although I do think that PE every day of the year is a bit of a stretch—at that point, if you’re so concerned about kids getting movement, health benefits, and play in their day, why not reintroduce daily recess for older children? We rotated PE with music/an extra science class/health/art/leadership…
