I watched a great doc on Apple last year called 1971 about all the great music that was made during that turbulent year in American history and it hit me that this place has really accomplished NOTHING in 50 years when we thought we had made so much progress; minorities were still heavily victimized and kept down;…

exactly. Alito alluded snarkily to BoJo and Prince Harry criticizing their ruling and their subsequent “payback”; Thomas seemed to respond to everyone gloating over his unexplained hospitalization by writing a concurrence for Dobbs (which I would bet folding money he did AFTER his hospitalization) where he fired even…

hard to believe it was only 3 years between Bill & Ted and Dracula. LOL

if that were the actual plot I’d be 1000% more likely to watch it than I currently am LOL

after seeing her on Bear Grylls I’d rather focus on Florence Pugh’s pretty flawless American accent for a young Brit. Now I’m going to spend all day talking like an Englishman to see if I can sound that convincing LOL.

Wilde’s sophomoric effort

remember when everyone thought police body cams would be such a “game changer”? LOLOLOLOL

luckily I have never experienced something like this, but I can think of about a dozen people who I wish could experience something like this just once in their lives to give them a better understanding of how infuriating it must be to experience. Just doing the most innocent thing in the world, living your life, and…

if too much is redacted (i.e. not enough for t***p and his legal team to better understand the govt’s strategy for investigating him), he’ll whine it was too redacted; if too little is redacted, he’ll have a better understanding of all the govt has on him.  I hope someone smart oversaw this because this kinda shaping…

I’m kinda glad the GQP has worked so aggressively to obliterate women’s rights because I think this is a better albatross for Dems to hang around their necks than being in Cult 45. In Maryland the t***p-selected candidate for governor did not run a single campaign ad before primaries; instead the local Dems ran ad…

it would have blunted Dems momentum by pissing off the conservatives and giving them a rallying cry going into midterms. They’ve been enjoying their victory lap post-Dobbs (when they haven’t been zealously working to piss on women’s rights even more) and now this “outrage” will motivate them a little more. They are…

I would just like to see more fire in the Dems, more impatience and anger like I have with the state of the GQP who seem to think appealing to Americans’ basest instincts by worshipping a mediocre narcissistic con artist is a viable long-term strategy without a thought for the state of the country. IMO they are WAY…

realistic enough to scare the excrement out of me

once again, the Simpsons writers knew the country better than the country knew itself LOL; Lisa is a pretty spot-on avatar for Dems, and Bart/Homer a stand-in for t***p-era GQP. but when I think of the comparison I don’t think of “centrism” as much as “a hall monitor type who passive aggressively enforces rules not…

I actually saw Peter Greene on the streets of Manhattan 5-10 years ago, he was loudly talking to a street cleaner and at first I couldn’t place him until he started talking very loudly and then it clicked and I wanted to yell out “ZED!!!” but the Indian guys I was with probably wouldn’t have liked that LOL

I call dibs on “Abraham Poopola” as a social media moniker (yes I know it’s Popoola but when I read it as Poopola I giggled a little)

someone broke out the thesaurus amirite?  LOL

I hope you’re right, I really do, but I’ve been disappointed before because the Dems keep leaning into their “inner Lisa Simpson” and dithering over details while the batshit minority of the country still somehow has enough influence to fuck things up for a lot of people. People seem pissed now and I hope they stay…

Walker should stop running his mouth about this because a debate would be an absolute shitshow that I and many others would watch raptly (really, any Dem vs. GQP debate would be a shitshow, however most GQP candidates are like the proverbial “pigeon who knocks over the checkers boards, shits everywhere, and struts off…

I used to roll my eyes every time I read a new Nick Cannon birth announcement until I read all the amazing names he has given his kids (Zillion? Moroccan?), and now I’m like...still, please stop making all these new kids, your career does NOT have the legs you think it does to keep paying all this child support. To…
