Instead of watching 45's big debut, I went to the theater to see the James Baldwin documentary, I Am Not Your Negro. It was superb, but pretty formless. Whatever, you've got Jackson reading Baldwin's words and Baldwin speaking for himself, so it was wonderful. I only ragecried twice, too!

She nailed that moment! Until then, I thought she was brainwashed and thus an innocent cog, and for her to be able to puncture the (insane) tension in that scene was a beautiful opportunity.

I'm really not sure it can. The half-life of delegitimization is measured in generations, not in terms.

Oh, man, glad you started this thread. I loved Get Out—perfect mix of comedy and crawling horror with across-the-board excellent performances (I don't love Williams as an actor, but this is a great role for her). Definitely second that this is NOT a movie to see in a non-theater setting.

Hi, Dr. Psib!

A sixer of 7 oz grenades of Miller Lite, because I am a trashboy, and a growler of fabulous milk stout from Legal Remedy (seriously, they can do no wrong).

Neat column idea! The Anderson Valley Blood Orange gosé is a staple, but their Briny Watermelon is the beer that heralds summer for me. I cracked into a Red 5, Standing By last night; it's a collaboration between a couple of regional breweries. It was 82 degrees at cocktail hour last night, so I figured I'd ease into…

Yeah, I don't have much patience for Carly Fiorina, but I wanted to bottle that look for future times when I'm occupied fool-sufferin'.

I did notice how frequently he referred to women* as "a fabulous woman, and a fabulous person." Women already are contained within the subset of people, you lumpen fucken goon.

Four-bit Percocet! Baby, you're much too cheap. Four-bit Percocet! Daddy needs his beauty sleep.

1. More appealing to all five senses (presumably, perhaps the President smells like fresh-cut lavender and scones. I doubt it.)
2. Identifies and employs people based on intelligence, not ratings/income
3. Piledrives "haters" instead of calling them "sore losers."
4. Has a vocabulary of over 300 words.

Yes, in sporadic six minute bursts, as the mounting anxiety and brittle, hyperventilating laughter caused me to yo-yo in and out of consciousness.

I'm honestly curious about Bannon's ideological flexibility—between his self-description as a "radical Leninist," his calls for a holy war, and his adaptable support of traditional politics, I really can't tell the difference between "believes" and "espouses" for the guy. I don't think of someone who runs a website…

I have actually told people to "go home and learn to play the fuckin' theremin" in multiple conversations. Brian Wilson phase=best phase.

He's all about bringing the culture to the cuisine, y'know? Makes it…how would you say it, a full-immersion participationsphere.

"And you never once paid for drugs! Not. Once."

Yeah, Chance is great, both musically and as an advocate for pride and change. He —and this pigeonholes me pretty badly—was on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" a year or so ago, and was just so overwhelmingly sharp and ebullient that I immediately started paying attention to him. We could use more Chances.

He's talking about "carnage," the Michelin-starred restaurant whose signature dish is beef that they shoot to heat it. It's a labor-intensive process, but it both tenderizes and cooks the meat; Mr. Trump is saying it's sad that the meal has only been ordered 228 times in 2017. He's just doing economic maintenance…

"You guys are idiots—this song is clearly deep."

One thing that has really helped me since the election is the thought that crafters and creators have experienced a huge boom since November—between the interlap between "folks who buy online from individuals" and "people upset about the direction of the country" and the absolutely boneheaded meme-ready phrases the…
