I’ve been around the kinjasphere for well over a decade and I DON’T WANT IT TO DIE. I want them to clean up their act and turn things around. My comment above is a suicide intervention!

Hey, this is a minor.  Please don’t write an article on her.  Please delete this one.

Ashley: I knew nothing of this, so I did a quick search. The one that jumped out at me - and SHOULD HAVE DONE YOU - was George Conway’s plea (more specifically, “desist”) to the media to stop covering his minor teenage daughter. In fact, even Claudia, herself perhaps initially too young to understand the reach and…

I am incredibly uncomfortable with this. She’s fifteen. 

I’m sorry. Maybe I’m in a bad mood (in fact I know I am), but what even is this about? I don’t understand how, as a Black woman, you can’t be completely excited about her nomination. I am a Black millennial who cried actual tears (!) when I voted for Obama in 2009 because I never thought I would see a viable, Black…

I’m gonna need to hear the audio on that to be convinced she didn’t say “lily white asses.” 

Sure, that’s what we all see. But imagine the delusional aspiration it takes every morning for 40 years, when he looks in the mirror and thinks his hair looks like this ...

That feels like decades ago!

philaDJ!  he was the best!

I had never heard of this Ellis guy (two can play at that game). So I found this about her CV and history of offensive positions. (It’s a quick read, but worth it - she’s bonkers of course, but also way beneath the academic background any president would consider hiring. Even GW Bush’s most evil lawyers were all…

For these folks, the cruelty is the point. Their hate is more important than recognizing the humanity of others.

The transition from Great Smoky Mountains National Park to the Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge business area is mind-bending. The first time I was there, I drove in from the National Park and wasn’t prepared.

Why does she look like Julia Louis Dreyfus after three hits of nitrous oxide?

I like home renovation shows, but they are SO MUCH BETTER when prices are realistic. It’s really interesting to see houses in places with depressed markets getting fixed up, or seeing what can be done for 30 grand. Late Fixer Upper (and property brothers now too) all have people with budgets of $1,000,000. Fucking…

But Mount Rushmore is granite and not ochre so the colour would be wrong. Maybe try carving his face into a pumpkin instead. Then throwing it away. 

It would’ve been awful had the second quarter GDP fallen just 9.5%. It actually fell a hitherto unfathomable 32.9%.

I figure it will be a less-sympathetic version of this:

Also: a 26-year-old man dating a 17-year-old speaks to need for control.

It’s a little early for me, but cheers!

They know exactly what they’re doing and exactly how to get away with it. They know how to harness the ambiguity of image (“that’s not what it looks like”) and ambiguity of language (“that’s not what it sounds like”) to get away with absolutely anything.

The Trumps are our nation’s ultimate trolls, and it’s terrifying…
