I’ve had a lot of reactions to this over the last hour, but my latest thoughts are unfortunately grim and self-centered.

Setting aside the fact that I really liked him, I also don’t like the way the margins are shaping up.... It would normally be fine for a district we last lost by 23 points, but given how much attention has been focused on this race, a loss of 0.5% would give us much better damage control than the current six points…

The real deadline is tomorrow, though. After Ossof wins, Republicans are going to start to get really skittish - especially about legislation related to healthcare. If he’s struggling for votes now, the votes certainly won’t exist after that.

I don’t care about the size, so long as ovals come back into fashion. Not little circles, not squares, not rounded rectangles, proper damned ovals, darn it! And with a nice, full, thin frame! Not massively thick frames, not a half-frame, a full-sized yet thin frame! I can’t stand to wear other styles! It’d be neat if…

Oh, I can certainly agree that the execution may have been an issue (though I don’t take issue with that specific line, myself) - whenever a celebrity tries to incorporate something like this into their work, a good portion of the fans who look up to them are going to walk away with the wrong message. Instead of “Hey,…

To say nothing of the weird “It’s an honor to serve you” statements that the media has interpreted as pledges of loyalty to him. I didn’t listen to it myself, but hearing about it after the fact has been troubling.

That said, this album was trash.

Some of the lyrics on that album really pissed me off. “do you buy a 100 dollar bottle of champagne like me? just to pour that motherfucker down the drain like me?” like YOUNG LADY your mother probably paid for that damn bottle (you weren’t famous when you wrote that line) that you were too young to even legally…

Hm. I only had time to listen to it once, but my first impression had been that it was okay, but ultimately forgettable - none of the songs had the same resonance that “Castle”, “Gasoline”, or “Control” had for me.

We cancelled the ceremony for my mother this week, when we realized that half of her family wasn’t likely to attend, and my father was concerned about the possibility of a fight between him and his sister over their lawsuit. My mother wasn’t a religious woman, and encouraged us at multiple points in her life to not be…

MSNBC covered what was actually in the leaks, at least, so I’m assuming there’s no legal reason why it’s not being covered.

They’ve demanded the country to shutter Al-Jazeera, expel Hamas/MB members, cease criticism of Egypt and cut ties to Iran.

I mean, there are reasons that privatization isn’t necessarily a terrible idea? It’s an idea that’s been floated since the 90's, and other countries have done this without disastrous results.

A lot of times if you go to a disadvantaged neighborhood, you ask the kids, ‘What do you want to do when you grow up?’ You get about five different answers. But there’s a thousand.

I first saw it used during my days following fanfiction drama on Livejournal, and the imagery stuck with me ever since :) .

I meant back during the election. I don’t mean that the New York Times or MSNBC needed to run with it, or anything - but some place like the Huffington Post or The Intercept ought have. Yes, it was unverified and uncorroborated - but the person making the accusations had a fair amount of personal credibility, and the…

To what end?

Moreover, May emphasized that democratic governments should participate in cyberspace regulation. “We need to do everything we can at home to reduce the risks of extremism online,” she said.

When I first started reporting these things Facebook removed a couple of them for going against their “community standards,” but since then they have responded to each report that they’re sorry I’m offended, but they didn’t find so-and-so’s comment to violate their community standards.

Can someone please tell me why there is not more outrage about NBC
