It’s extremely unlikely but part of me is wondering if he has a serious illness (like cancer) ... so serious he might die and be replaced by his wife (after the governor names her, or whatever the hell the mechanism is in Utah, too lazy to look)

Ellie from Brooklyn is probably Eli from Brooklyn. (The article clearly identifies him as a dude, plus ... pronunciation is weird. And when I say weird I mean mediated by linguistic and cultural background and therefore wildly variable. Ages and ages ago I was in a class with a dude named Levi Eli and he was so far as…

I checked to see if Melania had actually been naturalized because I couldn’t remember and found this (quoting a Democratic immigration lawyer who represented Melania/the Trumps during the campaign):

Penguins fandom is heavily millennial and near-millennial, age-wise, and Pirates fandom is ... old

Yeah I just looked and apparently this stuff is injection only

Look, it’s not like those little shrieking globs aren’t a major public menace

*eyes the door you left open and resists the urge to walk through it, just barely*

I have mixed feelings about him as a person (mainly because of the Harrison baptism thing, that killed a lot of my positive feelings about the Steelers), but I appreciated him as a relic, in the (loosely) positive sense of the term, just because he embodied the history of the NFL as an organization (for better or…

The thing that’s weird to me is that 84 Lumber is headquartered in an area of the country/state (PA) that’s purple at best, and if we’re being honest, pretty red. It baffles me that they came out with this. I like it, but it still seems weird.

My cynical side is saying that the reasoning is that if a mentally ill veteran commits suicide with a gun, that ends the government’s obligation to provide health care for them (such as it is).

I remember that article now! Except the way that I’m reading it, and one of the early links in the article, is that the media took him literally but not seriously, whereas his followers took him seriously but not literally. (If the media showing supporters who said not to take him literally is the same to you as the…

Were the media really saying that?

Well Helen, you either find someone else to run the restaurant (maybe you), or your family loses that income entirely. There’s the economic change you voted for!

I never thought the leopards would eat my face

Maybe, yes, yes

I rewatched Chasing Amy recently (because I finally got around to rewatching Y tu mama tambien and weirdly, it reminded me of CA) ... and in the early aughts when I watched this I identified more with Holden as a bisexual and thought the threesome offer was ... earnest and relatable. So embarrassing!

I kind of wonder if it was done on purpose as a fuck you but I sort of doubt that anyone involved was putting that much thought into it

Finding some sympathy for their daughters. Basically none for the Republican women. :P

I’m a little fucked up that college athletic conferences are in the news right now for throwing their economic weight around in favor of common sense and not being assholes.

I’m genuinely surprised that Arkansas doesn’t appear to have ever had any doctors-can’t-ask-about-guns-in-the-home gag rules for legislation proposed or on the books.
