I finally listened to the Cruise rant. It’s great that he’s taking Covid seriously but beyond that his screaming was creepy and too much. Also, it’s clear that he has some sort of Messiah Complex or something wherein he believes he’s saving the world. I don’t think I’d want to work for a guy like that.

That’s what I don’t think you’re understanding. This person is your friend. So, when your friend dies by suicide, you are very sad. You are going to miss your friend! You have direct, shared experiences with your friend, and those will always be the first thing you think of when you hear their name. And you will have…

I will never not feel a measure of sympathy for the friends of people who turn out to be secret abusers.

Mulaney was open about his drug use in many of his stand up specials.  I love his comedy (I grew up in similar circumstances, so many of his bits hit home perfectly) and wish him nothing but the best.  I hope he, his wife and Petunia get through this and come out stronger at the end.  

Mulaney’s voice acting in Big Mouth is great. I hope he gets well soon.

The factoid buried deep in my brain is that Wilmer Valderrama exists.

I can’t wait to think of this 9 year old bringing in a quarter of a billion dollars the next time I read a heartwarming tale about a 94 year old man delivering pizza to make ends meet who gets the unexpected tip of a lifetime! Or the teacher who is teaching classes online from the hospital the day after she gave…

*Republicans do basically nothing*

as long as the stock market is high, that’s all the republicans care about.  99% of the country could be out of work and homeless and it wouldn’t even register with the republicans in the least.

It’s possible she is having a complete break with reality, and it is more possible that she has exaggerated in her own mind certain aspects of the relationship. But the simplest explanation, to me, is that a manipulative asshole who is in jail for fraud saw someone he could manipulate to his own ends, i.e. receiving…

You’re not living under a rock. The Republican caucus, with their fully funded health insurance, is.

About 6 grams, which will make you forget about all this shit for a week or two.

Why is it the Dems fault for the crappiness is the bill? ItMsnhard to pass a decent bill ehen it’s obvious a large part of the Republican Party does not care at all. If it weren’t for the GA senate race, McConnel might not have even allowed it be worked in. It’s hard to negotiate with people who fundamentally don’t…

Imho $600 is just enough money for people who don’t need help to feel like they got something. They can go spend that on Apple watches for their cats or whatever and be happy. Meanwhile us normal folks can go spend all $600 on necessities and still be as fucked as before.

To paraphrase a sentiment I’ve heard elsewhere online, “Why the fuck do people find this Michael Jackson-looking motherfucker attractive?”

GOP on the deficit when a Republican is in the White House

Yeah, $600 was the cost of one month of my rent in Philly in 1998. Lol.

There’s so much to unpack in that article.

This whole thing is Harley Quinn-Joker levels of insanity and tragedy. This woman needs help.
