No joke, I had a routine check-up scheduled at the doctor today. They took my blood pressure. It was fucking 160.

I have heard quite a few people express the hope today that trump will become less abhorrent after the inauguration and he was just putting on an act to get elected. Is this bargaining stage of the five stages of grief?

She couldn’t even bring out Hispanics to vote in an election where the other guy completely bailed on Spanish-speaking media, yelled insults at them, and made deporting them a key facet of his platform.

Let’s note the very different takes from Jezebel on two very similar events here. Amy Schumer mocks Trump at a show and gets positive coverage; Dave Chapelle mocks Hillary at a show and gets negative coverage.

After watching that documentary on him, I’m sure in some way that shitbird is pleased with the attention. If I have to endure his self-righteous shouting on CNN tonight I will lose it.

The guy has the wherewithal to film in landscape, in a life threatening situation, and it gets posted in vertical.

Excellent. Jarvis is a f*cking poet.

Interstellar, which is Hans Zimmer again but very deliberately does not have the same sound as Batman et al.

No. Donkey rides are about £5 each at Blackpool pleasure beach. They’re about as shite as you can imagine. Still nicer than Atlantic city mind.

And us in the Republic of Ireland, who also can’t get abortions here. A dozen Irish women every DAY travel to Britain to access abortion services there, including at Marie Stopes. #RepealThe8th

That line about never knowing when death will come so enjoy your Miso soup reminded me so much of what Warren Zevon said when Letterman asked what knowing you’re going to die had taught him. “Enjoy every sandwich.” For me the answer will be vodka, but it’s the simplest things that make this existence worth persevering.

specifically the last festival I was at we had this creeper that wouldn’t leave our campsite, kept on trying to kick our fire etc. Finally the last straw was that he ran over to a girl asleep in the shade of our campsite and grabbed her boobs while she was sleeping. My brothers and guy friends chased him down, got…

I really, really, REALLY hate it when the media does this bullshit—”including X amount of children”. It’s insulting to the other people who died—”Sorry you’re dead, but it’s not as tragic as it would be if you were a kid.”

Yes it is pure hell - so maybe don’t judge the choices other people make in that situation. Fuck off yourself- I didn’t attack you.

My feelings on Scottish independence have done a complete 180 in the last 12 hours, which may be the fastest reversal I’ve ever managed.

Do yourself a favor and do NOT go to Gawker’s article about Cox and read the comments. My blood plessure is so high right now I swear to christ I am just about ready to throw down with someone

Colin Firth (and my totally real boyfriend, Taron Egerton) says Stronger In, I’m with Colin.

As someone who has been hearing a lot about a potential Brexit over the past couple weeks, I actually spent yesterday evening educating myself on the issue. I figured I would probably fall pretty handily on the “Remain” side, but I figure I probably shouldn’t assume without reading up... my instinct was right. And now…

This is tangential, but I want to say thank you to Jezebel for reporting on the many tragedies of the past few days. The Internet is a pretty hateful place, and so is the rest of the world, but I know I can come here to find a community of people ready to support each other, and when we disagree, to do so with empathy…

She was such a lovely woman, i met her a few times and she cared so much about equality. She was always there to speak out for people who are oppressed, she was a voice for the voiceless.
