Hard to do when heavily-armed federal troops are forcing an evacuation.

omg, I can’t breathe.

“Perverted” is another obscure reference, to a monologue from “Euro Trip” (a film I never saw, but which is apparently quotable):

read it out loud. It’s a rather obscure reference to an old Zippy the Pinhead comic, in one panel of which a sign was planted on a beach, reading “Yurp →” pointing out over the water.

Well, I reside in Perverted Yurp, so my definition of “this morning” might be different from yours. We are probably referring to the same event.

OT: any further news on that raging white supremacist who straight-up murdered two people (and sent a third to the hospital with knife wounds to the neck) for trying to intervene when he verbally assaulted two WOC on the Portland (OR) light rail this weekend?

China is actively subsidizing renewables in developing countries, giving their renewable-power-equipment manufacturers entrance to those markets. The US, meanwhile, will keep giving tax cuts and emissions loopholes to multinationals running coal mines/plants, in the process sinking the US economy into a quagmire of…

Take heart. Russian Conspiracy Twitter says that the FBI is having preliminary talks with Mike Flynn. They would only do that if he can serve up This Asshole. And FinCEN has shit on not only his whole goddamn family (Tiffany and Barron excepted), but a lot of GOP leadership, too.

I hope you’re prepping an article about This Asshole also letting it out that he’s planning to withdraw from the Paris Accord, making the US into a carbon pariah alongside Syria and Nicaragua. HuffPo (sigh) is pointing out that the economic sanctions alone will be a massive blow to the US economy, nevermind the…

Fear not: Russian Conspiracy Twitter says they have dirt on all of them, Ivanka included. If all goes well (and oh god I really hope it does because I can’t take the panic attacks and deep existential dread much longer) they’ll all be in jail, their (tacky) assets seized, their business “empire” in shambles, their…

I think the real story here should be how Mme. Gregoire-Trudeau seems simply delightful with her adorable hat.

Consider that “law and order” tends to lean much more heavily on the “order” part, and that the order to which they refer is that of white supremacy. The cops aren’t there so much to ensure justice for all and public safety as they are to keep nonwhites in their place.

I’ve decided, after having a couple alpha-assholes pull the move on me, that the way to deal with this kind of dimestore-leadership-handbook handshake-dominance bullshit is to cut off the attempt by not allowing the wannabe-alpha grab at the palm like a normal person, but instead to close the grip early, clamping down…

Also, I wonder if Drafthouse couldn’t insulate itself from bullshit like this simply by classifying those screenings as an invitation-only private party, where you get the invitation by showing up at the ticket counter as a woman (or woman-identifying).

I like the part where Bob didn’t even read the fucking article you linked, where this very type of toxic asshole behavior is addressed, ie:

Is Twin Peaks going to be doing this thing all season, where they feature up-and-coming music acts at the Bang Bang Club? Is that just going to be a subtext to the show, all these lovely musicians? The actress playing Agent Tammy is also a singer, and has a bunch of Lynch-adjacent tracks on Youtube.

This thread has far too few hysterical all-caps flashing MISANDRY gifs. Here, I’ll start:

It may surprise you (it won’t, but it will definitely depress you) to realize that these kinds of bills are mostly enforced by belligerent men blocking women’s restrooms (when they aren’t barging into them outright) and harassing any woman who doesn’t present as sufficiently cisgender.

There’s something to be said for Coco Chanel’s admonition that after 50 you get the face you deserve.

It is! Came here to say the same thing.
