Ross Douthat is a fucking moron. His opinions are those of the student editor of Catholic school newspaper in the 1960s. Laughable then and just pathetic now. 

Because outside Lansing and Detroit and a few other select spots, Michigan is a grand expanse of redneck militia good ole’ boys as far as the eye can see. 

A human being with a shred of decency would be deeply ashamed to be in today’s republican party.

Blake did it the best.  The bussle was amazing and when they undid it there was even more glamor.  She understood the assignment.

She didn’t nail anything. The Dress was wasted at this event, because it had no bearing at all on the theme. AND she didn’t even look that great in it. Part of Marilyn’s allure in it was how “free” her body was under it. She wasn’t corseted up, she was sensuous. Kim looks freezedried. 

If anything, these “revelations” and “hearings” will be about as stale as Christmas cake at this point. Without Merrick Garland stepping his motherflipping dick up, and indicting the core Trumpkins, all this is just a shitshow. The only thing that will outdo it is the Hunter Biden hearings and Dr. Fauci hearings that…

If this doesn’t result in cuffs for multiple members of congress, people affiliated with congress, and an ex-president at a minimum, miss me with all of it

I mean, a lot of the early Christian and medieval women saints in the Catholic Church were known to have pretty extreme fasting regimes, and it’s been conjectured that a lot of their divine visions and feelings of delirious ecstasy were hallucinations resulting from near-starvation.

“faith” CAN have purpose and meaning to an individual.

Which is, of course, what makes the distinction between a cult and a religion very fuzzy and hard to want to be bothered to see the distinction by atheists.

shhhhh. let them.

It’s my last social media account, but I’ll dump it in a minute if he starts to fuck with it. 

If the Twitter board actually decides to take the buyout, I’ll actually be shocked... and it’ll also be the catalyst that finally makes me delete my account and leave that platform forever. I’m not going to stick around as a member as it devolves into Truth Social 2.0.

that’s what happens when Ruth Bader Ginsburg doesn’t retire while the Democrats control the Senate, and people don’t vote for Hilary Clinton.

For Celsius, I use a poem:

“I switched baristas” is the most incredible rebuff in the history of rebuffs.

Early 00s in Arkansas there were some restaurants that used the same code word.  Really it should be used for an 8 top of evangelical white people who order 200 dollars worth of food at 10pm and stay for 2 hours only to leave a 2 dollar tip.

I did not like how some of the mad dog Republicans spoke to Judge Jackson at all! Some of it carried the historical stench of massa’s attitude to slave women during plantation days; and I don’t give a fuck if yall think I’m exaggerating! I felt like reaching for the necks of both Graham & Cruz. I just don’t accept…

When I read about her after her nomination, I believed she was qualified for the job.

This is beyond infuriating. We’ve reached the point where I’m just a shell of a person screaming silently and perpetually in my own head.
