I have a "Keep Calm and Carry On" mug, but it's not to be ironic; it's just because the previous tenant in my apartment left it behind in the kitchen when she moved and it's a pretty good mug. Because it's really big.

I was going to say "at least the first three aren't that old," but Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the same age as Rickman and Bowie were, so fuck.

Wikipedia says Vincent Rodriguez III is also married. To a man named Greg, as coincidence would have it.

If she really used her head, I'm sure she could come up with a way.

He also wants to force all Muslim Americans to register on a list, and has his mouthpieces citing Japanese internment as a positive "we can totally do this" precedent. I don't know about the rest of the left, but that's sure as fuck enough to count me out of that heartwarming little festival of delight.

That was the original draft of that Animaniacs joke.

Yeah, the finger-pointing was cathartic for a few days, but it doesn't accomplish anything. We all fucked up in our own special ways, yada yada. Now how do we start minimizing the damage?

I feel like if people are going to try to reclaim it, just go full-on Shakespearean with it. Joke about assholes having horns.

There are LGBT people in red states. If they are quieter and less visible than they are in more progressive areas, it's because the kind of people who voted for Trump make them afraid not to be.

If it weren't illegal, part of me wants to stand outside my polling place with a sandwich board that reads "Don't Toomey Like That—Katie McGinty for US Senate."

There was also that brief period a few weeks ago where half the ads, for both parties, were just incomprehensible word salad accompanied by images of jiggling bobblehead dolls. I think Steve Santarsiero started it, but who knows.

At this point, I'm hearing the phrase "Shady Katie McGinty" on a loop in my sleep.

My hair is an unstylable wilderness of frizz at all times. At the moment, it is pyramid-shaped, because I cut it short and then got tired of wasting my life flatironing 86 individual layers every time it got wet.

Hey!

I was actually trying to remember how Saunders died and drawing a total blank, because it was THAT stupid and anticlimactic. Ugh.

Bridget?
