Okay, so it is not just me that is upset about active links! For fucks sake, whyyyyy was that implemented?! But yes, Oregon is a racist wonderland. 

Vantucky is a shitshow, full-stop. And here I was debating giving Florida back to the sea, and Texas back to Mexico, so that we can just make DC and PR blue states. What the shit would we do actually letting these nutjobs have their Cascadia utopia!?

You are entirely correct. Cities are just blue bubbles floating atop frothy red lava. F*ckkkkkk.

These same separatists are still out there, and they are effectively led by Matt Shea, a known white supremacist, who just happens to hold elected office here in WA. Be very afraid and wary of these nutjobs, because they do nothing but hate and multiply. 

What an excellent, prescient piece! Perhaps we should just return to city-states and hang the hinterlands out to dry? I went to undergrad in New Orleans, and that was definitely a blue bubble in a scarlet red state, and that analogy carries over to what is effectively seen in every decent-sized metro area. Namely,

I’d like to dispel a myth about Washington state, as I grew up there in the suburbs of Seattle: it is just not as blue as advertised. Once you leave King county (Seattle and its Metro-area) and Pierce county (Home of Tacoma) the state is effectively, rabidly, red. Sure, for now, the numbers skew very blue, because

Nah, expand SCOTUS such that they can stay, spout their shit, and STILL be irrelevant. Can you IMAGINE Clarence Thomas, Kavanope, and cult lady in a minority on the court? Their hissyfit dissents would be worth their weight in gold. 

I am just exhausted with these Olds who fondly remember the 50's-70's, when they could just drop an n-bomb callously, and carelessly. When they could just drill for and burn fossil fuels with nary a care. When they could have someone committed for being gay/trans/bi. Fuck them and their supposed halcyon days that they

Now playing

Yeah yeah yeah, Meg and Harry gon be aight. Rule number one is just to ignore Page Six, and act like it does not exist. Meg and Harry already have my support and I am the wind in Meg’s wings, but today is ALL about Michelle’s new show, Waffles + Mochi. It has everything we need in these dark times: Michelle, travel,

Bye Sharon, ye won’t be missed, but she shall henceforth be referred to as British Karen.

Srsly, we are going to just not even include the Resident Evil films here!? Killing zombies in STYLE matters! Sheesh!

Greenery IS legal where I live, so perhaps I could get some practice rolling :)

I do not believe there is any evidence that would point to McCammond still spouting off things like this in the present and near-present. If she has gone a full decade without saying anything else offensive in the public record....well, she may have a leg up on many in the public eye. Best we can do at this point is

That would sound roughly like Sharon’s husband lol

My calculus is simple: I am willing to give a young woman of color a chance to redeem herself in this situation (whilst still simultaneously side-eyeing the offensive tweets!) and explain how she has matured, changed, etc. moreso than a seventy-something year old lightning rod for racism like Trump. Consider the

I’m sorry, but I’m gonna need everyone to get off McCammond’s proverbial dick on this. Someone really must have been a haaaaaater to dig up mean tweets from a decade ago, and these republican cryhards who want to cancel her can have ALL the seats after allowing Trump to incite an insurrection that has left him so far

Actually, McCammond is one of the most intelligent and well-spoken (aside from these mean tweets!) reporters that Axios has on deck. She always has thoughtful, prescient insights on MSNBC, and she publishes absolutely bomb playlists on her instagram. Her journalism chops might *seem* thin, but that is not the case,

This. Went to grad school just as Twitter launched, and was instantly aghast when one of the bro-iest of my classmates told us that he was going to do nothing but tweet about whatever he had for lunch. Not much has changed since then.

I think you are onto something here! Asymmetrical, spiky, unnecessarily dyed hairstyles have been her thing---and the way she talked to homegirl, with all that indignation and pointing--whewwww, bye Sharon/Karen. 

Sharon, Sharon, Sharon! Gurl, what is you doin? Oh, just being a white woman of a certain age who is upset and reminiscing on the good ol days where racism was not a fireable offense? I see, I see. Welp, it would not pain me to see both you and your lil friend, Piers off the air.
