Nixon’s approval rating on the day he resigned was around 35%.

“Imagine you’re a 35-year-old white guy in 1999.”

Hee.

Shut off the alerts. Now. You can search out what you need to know on your own, without the “help” of those click-baity alerts, which right now seem to be offering you little more than a constant sense of distress and unease.

Me, neither, but good goddamn: He looks like he’s in his mid-50s, at least.

“Queer” used to be the Q in LGBTQ, but over the last fifteen-to-twenty years, the Q turned into “questioning.” Which is a little annoying, but whatever, what with language evolving over time and such.

Hee. I think you meant “edgy.” “Edgy” straight people.

And in my experience, younger folks (especially on social media) vociferously denounce it a slur, while older folks (like me) see it as a blanket term, as older folks (like me) remember the reclamation movement of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s.

I am also an old, and it’s been a blanket term since at least the mid-1980s. My university had queer theory courses in 1986.

Hey, she made it into the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry as part of A League of Their Own, so (presumably) her face will be one of those from now that’s still noticed in 200 years. I’d call that a win.

Election day was the 8th. The election was called early in the morning on the 9th (in the Eastern and Central time zones, at least). Think of it this way: 9/11 was the terrorist attack in 2001. 11/9 was the day Idiot Trump won the electoral vote in 2016.

It’s some unholy blending of the Harding administration with the Nixon administration. I’d call it unbelievable, if I hadn’t actually lived through everything since the election.

Not from the treatment I saw this evening on ABC, CBS, and PBS. Even that dimwitted pretty-boy fuckpuppet, David Muir, brought up concerns regarding the Russia investigation.

Hee! Sorry if I sounded hostile — and yeah, Kathleen Marshall is a pretty awesome person, and thanks to her (late, lamented) dad’s utter devotion to the more positive side of nepotism, she’s in both Princess Diaries movies, as well as every single other thing her father’s ever done, apparently. (Plus A League of Their…

It’s Polish. One hundred years ago, she’d be considered a sub-human Slav.

Yeah, and on top of that, she’s currently pushing 50, just like I am. Got a problem with that?

Yes, Kathleen. And she’s an all-around lovely person.

Hee! You’re lucky. I think I had to do some quick math to come up with an appropriate birth year when the ticket-seller asked.

Are you new? Who doesn’t know that Hanford is in Washington State?

What about Cactus Flower, for which she actually received an Academy Award? I’ve never seen that film available anywhere.
