i’ve been doing tons of baking and cooking to avoid writing my paper. i have two left and then i’m done with grad school FOREVERRRRR!!! so i made dorie greenspan’s yogurt pound cake, and i think i’m going to have breakfast pasta for dinner. how about you?

I love how even Mark Zuckerberg was not important enough for them to open the China cabinet and use the good setting. Plastic plates, cups and cutlery for guests... why am I not surprised these folks voted for Trump?

Meanwhile my Facebook feed spends half its time trying to dox me, asking me to dox my friend who’s hiding from her ex (who tried to murder her) and refusing to let my other friend delete her profile photo of her with an ex-boyfriend from 15 years ago. Edt: I can’t stand Facebook users who complain how much they hate…

Laurie Penny’s articles about Milo should be required reading:

It’s also the way to combat Anne Coulter. Sadly few people seem to get it.

The best way to handle Milo is to starve him of attention. Don’t voice outrage at his stupid statements. Don’t print interviews with him. Let him have his troll festival but stay away. Don’t have a counter protest, that just feeds the beast.

Yiannopoulos told The Hollywood Reporter that he’s already been given $12 million in investments from anonymous backers, and has received a $1 million signing bonus. Vanity Fair reported on Friday that Yiannopoulos showed them a copy of his new contract with the names of investors blacked out.

I feel like this story would only seem like huge blow if they leaked all of Game of Thrones at once. I suppose everything has a cult following, but less than 2 months early on a show that is released all at once on a service where people share passwords? It makes me think I guess I could watch it now or probably…

Yeah, I’m often highly irritated by the shows they lose (Bob’s Burgers, Property Brothers, Party Down, and Buffy: RIP), but still, in comparison to having to watch tv on someone else’s schedule, to having to watch commercials, to having to own a tv in the first place, Netflix still comes out on top very easily.

Also, I’m not sure what Netflix specifically did to piss off Mr. Ebony Raven Dementia Darkness Overlord here, but as far as this consumer is concerned Netflix is significantly less evil than my cable company. In order of most evil to least evil: Comcast, Hulu, Netflix. It’s irrelevant to me if OITNB is online…

Why couldn’t they be productive and just edit out any trace of the Alex Piper relationship? I mean I guess it’s fairly integral to the story but they just completely lack chemistry. It’s painful when they’re on screen together, like cheese grater to my penis painful.

What is a 25 year old doing running a major event like this? I see this all the time when a company brings in some young overconfident kid who talks a big game, who went to a nice school, has the right connections and knows how to speak hipster. Almost every time they screw up so critically someone with experience has…

Trump “welcomed” America’s Teachers of the Year today, and didn’t invite them to sit down.

The NRA has learned that keeping people in a heightened sense of fear about their guns is good for sales and is good for politics. They are so ferocious in their opposition to gun laws that they essentially have both parties pinned on the federal level; Obama passed the same number of gun laws as Bush, and Trump will…

Is DT going to become so miserable that he quits? He says he misses his old life, and it’s not the first time he’s quit something. Fingers crossed his spinlessness works to our benefit.

As I posted elsewhere, I have no problem with a no-guns rule where POTUS is concerned. What pisses me off is events where Wayne LaPierre speaks and guns aren’t allowed even though he’s the “more guns=more safety” guy. LaPierre even has his own heavily armed entourage of bodyguards. If packing heat is so safe, why…

Honestly — I sailed through Y2K and the ensuing decade an a half (plus) laughing at the survivalists stockpiling years’ worth of food and water, tin-foiling their houses, and stocking up on guns and ammo.

It is amazing that Trump can with a straight face imply that gun owners have had anything but unchecked rights to owning guns over the last 8 years. For fucks sake, 20+ children were murdered in their classrooms and our government was like hey y’all, second amendment...sorry for your luck! I guess the NRA won’t be…

They were in fact, not. A shocker I know.

The budget leaves out border wall funding and continues to cover healthcare subsidies that go to lower income Americans under the Affordable Care Act.
