And yet The Expanse can’t find a home SMDH. The Expanse craps on all of these halfassed shows. It is brilliantly written, well acted, meticulously brought to life with high production value and an engrossing plot that works on many levels.

According to CNN, more than one school shooting has occurred each week so far in 2018. And more people have been killed at schools in the U.S. this year than service members killed while serving in the military, according to The Washington Post.

I used to drive by Sante Fe High each night on the way to work. Never really thought I’d be so close to something like this.Then again also never thought i’d be 20 feet and one door away from a gun inflicted suicide either.

Okay, here is some real bullshit.

It’s not the mentally ill, and you’ve really gotta stop blaming mental illnesses for this shit. The mentally ill are less likely than the general population to be violent. The vast majority of violent crimes are committed by people with no diagnosable mental illness. The mentally ill are more likely to be victims of…

“Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, a staunch opponent of gun control, offered this: “Maybe we need to look at limiting the entrances and exits into our schools.” Then he went all-in with this very bad solution, which is also a serious fire hazard: “Had there been one single entrance possibly for every student, maybe he…

The normal spirit of the Code 45* is missing today; nothing feels funny, even in a twisted, satirical way. Not sure why; it’s not like another batch of kids being gunned down at school is anything we haven’t seen before – and it’s certainly not something we won’t see again. But looking at the mix of Tweets today, and…

I’ve heard it suggested that the people who have the poor most are the ones who have to interact with them the most

I don’t know if it’s the ubiquity and ease of social media access, or the Trump administration that’s causing this, but....more and more scummy people seem to be crawling out of the woodwork and spouting bigotry and hatred every day. This a-hole; the lawyerbro in NY complaining about hearing spanish; the hateful CA…

Also fun: growing mushrooms. Although the relationship is a lot less like the relationship between a person and their friend or pet, and a lot more like the relationship between a mad scientist and the troglodyte robot army he just built.

17 months is not even a unit of measurement used by anyone, ever.

Is that so?

The Twitter action today is really all about them witch hunts; not surprisingly then, so is today’s Code 45*. The administration was hunting for a new CIA Director, and boy did they ever find a…..Gina Haspel. We hear that El Calabaza Mohosa is so excited by the confirmation of the icy torture queen, he slipped into…

For the love of whatever you consider sacred, do not let this out of the greys.

Get a load of this: Cohen’s financial records from the Treasury database were leaked by an official who became concerned that other, much more alarming reports appeared to have been wiped from the records.

“Speaking of those financial disclosure forms, uh, did you know that Melania Trump made between $100,000 and $1 million in Getty Image royalties? Must be nice!”

Some years ago, I attended a conference for work in which I instantly fell in love with one of the presenting physicians. He was one of those mind-bogglingly fit ageless dudes who is perpetually tan and in better shape at 65 than I was at 25, with a brilliant mind, obvs, and charisma to boot. He had a fab silver beard…

I also enjoy the fact that her name appears before his in the credits.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH BLONDE

I absolutely adore the idea of centering a romcom around two people who don’t Human Well. Not a Bad-At-Humans charming guy and a smart girl, or a naive woman and a disillusioned man, but two grumpy, bitter, awkward as fuck humans forcibly bonding over the Social Interaction Hell that is a destination wedding. And…
