No, you are not an asshole. I say this as a person who, in good faith, ate a piece of dark chocolate stout cake with whiskey lime(!) frosting last year, baked lovingly by a new coworker who desperately wanted to impress her new coworkers. It sat like a rock in my stomach, and obviously the totally contrasting themes…

Damn you. I love you.

Guffaw and snort, here, working at home. Dog came in from the living room to check on me. Thinks I’m crazy.

Ah, the mythology of Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt’s successor, Taft, was actually a greater trust-buster in terms of success and number of trusts busted.

Ha—this is pretty awesome. States the disturbing obvious, but in a fun way.

I’m in. Want me to start the crowd-funding for this one?

No, no—they don’t get to come back in this time.

Hello, person.

No shit. She decries every principle he lived his life for. Every time she breathes, types, speaks, etc.

Oh honey, this was so common years ago on Jezebel. Par for the course. And it’s why a very small number of us old-timers started new accounts and come around Jez rarely. Jezebel ultimately has always been about the thin skin, and a certain type of feminism.

I am absolutely volunteering for that role: fire-breathing Marxist.

Exterminate the “undesirables”, i.e. women. Or be like Peter Thiel, and simply demand that we “undesirables”, i.e. women, should never have been allowed to vote. Or be like the president, and simply grope the “undesirables”, i.e. women, because we secretly really want it from him.

Twin Cities media is burying this story which doesn’t surprise me and means that, well, law enforcement probably won’t do shit about it. The write-up in the Minneapolis Star Tribune came very late last night, was minuscule, and relied mostly FB material. Am unsurprised and sad.

I know you mean this wryly, but it makes my heart and stomach hurt. Because Marmalard’s administration could try to do it. And no one would stop it.

Sweet Jesus, we’re fucked.

Maybe, just maybe I grew up in a biracial, conservative household and I already know the all bullshit that you think I need to “actually hear”. I know it inside and out. Which means I know there is no legitimate excuse for it.

Which confirms the vacancy of the soul his supporters have. I know you know that. Just as we know that anyone who abandons principles of justice to appease Trump supporters won’t lead to any changes of heart. You get treated with kid gloves, and you don’t change. People speak out against your bigotry, and you double…

Hi. You essentially live in an exurb if you’re approx 30 miles away from a city with a “top 100 by population” head count. I grew up in a rural area that is vastly more than 350 miles away from a “top 100 population” city.

This was Sara Motherfucking Gilbert’s idea. She knew Roseanne’s real life political tilt, and the world is a fucking plaything to her.

“Tan zah nah”
