I will confess really liking the moment when I nuzzle up to a dude’s neck and it smells faintly of sage and pepper. (Faintly is the key, here. I don’t want to sniff it before I get within nuzzling distance.) Sure, you could smell that way working in a kitchen, but that is likely to create other, less pleasant, smells.…

It didn’t matter if Joe et al believed Hill or not. Once Thomas played the ‘high-tech lynching’ card, there was no way he wouldn’t be confirmed. I distinctly remember watching that moment in the hearings and seeing every.last.whiteguy. on the committee visibly wilt. And then scramble to reassure him, stammering, that…

I fully endorse a WOC Barbie that stabs people for fun/a living. I’m not even kidding.

Ah, yes, the famous Blowjobalogue.

To me, the tell is always something along the lines of ‘this isn’t who I am’ in the denial. Which, no kidding, it’s what you do, not who you are, fellas. So when I see that, my benefit of doubt withers. I’m sorry to see it here, but ‘antithetical to my value system’ is the flashing red light, meant to distract and…

...And, you know, reversing all the voter suppression that prevents our voting percentage from being complete. 46K votes lost by suppression in Wisconsin, where The Orange Menace won by 23K.

But the heroes holding up signs welcoming them to Kenya? Heart-eyes!

Take off the heels and repurpose them as a thing to plunge into the bad guy’s eye. Stilettos aren’t just shoes, after all, they’re knives! 

Pretend the inheritance is a MacArthur genius grant — no strings, spend it how you like. I feel like she’s way too defensive about getting free money, and it’s like she doesn’t think she deserves it (Impostor Syndrome?). Money doesn’t have to be a Moral Crossroads, after all.

Oh good! A movie about Men Having Feelings! Just what I wanted! Such a rare treat!

Why shut it all down? Powerful people never cede power. If he shuts down, he thwarts those who would wrest a scintilla of powernfrom him. Plus, it’s a chilling message to others in the wider world: Don’t even try, kids.

And yet, I still think that grey lace frock is super pretty. [/stupid shallow]

If Glaser has Kurt Metzger on his side, well, that’s good information about the high level of douchebaggery going on here.

Yeah, don’t know why autocorrect doesn’t know David NIVEN, but it’s not BIDEN. sorry.

It might have been believable if only John Barron had made the call to the Times.

A few months ago, I read David Biden’s memoir (The Moon’s a Balloon, if you’re interested). In it, he blithely tells the story of when he was stationed in Malta while in the military. He slept around a bit, fine, he used the occasional prostitute, okay. Then one evening his housekeeper pimped out her daughter to him…

Naw, they’ll actually be saved from years of rambunctious rugrats getting all on their lawn!

She mighta had a shot at us forgetting if she took a few months to, you know, go away from us. But doesn’t seem like that’s an option for her, way deep in her bones.

I’m particularly struck by his use of the word ‘peddled’ in his statement. Insinuating that the accusers are for sale either for money or attention. Insidious, vile.

I gave you your star, but I don’t feel good about it.
