I like lists with a side of gym mats.

Right, I got that. I just wonder how much extra money Forbes gets by making me click through the entire gallery, instead of letting me read everything on one page.

They want clicks. But when I see a photo gallery, I don't give 'em any. (I'd be interested to read — not click through — an article explaining how a big news site monetizes clicks. How much money does each click generate for them?)

"That was excellent. We should do that once a week."

Will never fit on a license plate, bumper sticker, billboard, or in a tweet: Tanzania.

It was nice that Obama could honor maybe the best basketball player of all time, and Michael Jordan, too.

Someone — I can't recall who, off the top of my head, but it was either a journalist or pundit or former political-type — pointed out tonight that when Trump becomes President, deleting his tweets could run afoul of the Presidential Records Act.

Would that I had more than one upvote, friend.

Wait, wait, wait. Promising that we'd win so much that we'd get sick of winning wasn't real economic policy?

Respectfully, in four years, it's probably going to be a lot easier and a lot more effective to explain to people in rural Ohio and Michigan and Pennsylvania that Trump hasn't brought their jobs back than it will be to explain why we shouldn't fear refugees from Syria, or why they ought to bake cakes for gay weddings.

This article captures a former congressional staffer's advice — which she sent out recently in a series of tweets — about the most effective ways to contact your representative: http://www.huffingtonpost.c…

It's possible that the Civil Rights Division won't be eviscerated so much as it will be used for twisted purposes. For example, they'll probably forget about protecting the rights of religious minorities; instead, they'll focus on the poor, persecuted Christians who can't pray or teach intelligent design in school.

I keep thinking of that episode of 30 Rock (from way back in 2010), when Toofer reports that someone on the subway called him a "biggledeeboo," and Tracy informs him (and Grizz and Dotcom) that "old school racism is back."

But with all the racism!

The Washington Post reports that 250 white nationalists are gathering here in D.C. tomorrow to celebrate Trump's victory. Good lord, that Richard Spencer is one creepy, evil-looking racist. (Fortunately, there appears to be an organized protest forming.) And the New York Times reports that more people are displaying

Super!

"But my biggest problem with Quidditch is: If the Snitch is 150 points, why does anyone bother with the Quaffle?"

I can't really see her dress, and although I wouldn't change my opinion if she was wearing a t-shirt or a trash bag, what I can see of her dress looks good to me. I have no idea what's wrong with her head tilt angle; all I see is a beautiful, smiling face. And I guess I have accepted the fact that she might

Huh. Because I didn't want to comment on her looks, I was sitting here trying to think of what else I could say besides, "Hot damn, Julianne Moore is crazy sexy gorgeous in that photo."
