Not exactly. There’s a substantial group of right-wingers who fundamentally believe that America has fallen from grace, that the Russians — particularly the hard-line oligarchs aligned with Putin, and by extension Patriarch Kiril (?) of the Russian Orthodox Church, the very blingy religious leader who is aligned with…

OHSHIT, you guys, the PA Supreme Court just issued its new map, and sheeeeeeit the PA GOP is fuuuuucked.

Fun (?) Fact: recall that WaPo poll from August that found that a majority of Republicans would support postponing the 2020 election if That Asshole — who, let’s not forget, has been loudly claiming that Hillary only won the popular vote through 3M people, “illegal” at that, somehow committing mass in-person voter…

Well, tbh, not only that, but I’m bothered by that speech being bandied about as if it’s somehow a sign of her being fit for the presidency. There’s a difference between being a good orator — and let’s be clear, that speech was good oration, but it wasn’t great — and being a good chief executive. That was a legitimate…

Schneidermann sure as shit isn’t going to let Jared walk, so if she wants to make sure her kids aren’t orphans (who else is going to raise them? Melon? Tiffany?), she’s going to have to.

Given that Sam Jack did such a great job reading Go The Fuck To Sleep, I am very much looking forward to his audio-book version of Black Dr. Seuss.

It also bears noting that “things in China are way more draconian than in the US” isn’t quite as true if you’re not white.

They’ve already made clear they will rescind green cards and deport “permanent” residents, so that’s obviously the next step. The’ll just start rescinding them for more and more spurious reasons.

Now, if she managed to get his face onto (into?) her vagina, and not, say, just onto her vulva, that would definitely be a feat of athletic prowess worthy of a medal.

Yr Wonkette has a much longer explainer about the election hacking, and how nobody in a position to do anything about it seems to give a shit.

Haha, you’re adorable! You think the purpose is to come up with some consistent standards for applying scrutiny to immigrants!

I’m an episode ahead of you, and that’s where I am, too. Except: even though I’m sure it was expensive, the world doesn’t look all that high-end at all. The writing is terrible. The fight choreography is bad, the music is forgettable. Firefly did a much better job, over a decade ago with much less budget, of building…

haha, remember that show back in the day, where a recurring gay-panic in-joke was funny? Good times.

useful in discussions of Vantablack is this helpful tumblr explainer about Vantablack, and that fucker Anish Kapoor, and Stuart Semple (who has helpfully created “Black 2.0", which is almost as black but way cheaper and available to anybody but that fucker Anish Kapoor):

OH SHIT YOU GUYS

I’m referring here to public statements. Obviously, soldiers have to follow orders, and best from civilian leadership. But it’s entirely possible to issue statements that communicate more clearly that they’re opposed to this (such as with the attempted trans ban, which they more or less blew off, and fairly publicly)…

No, I mean the weird part is that the military heads can’t simply say, “we don’t think this would be a good use of our soldiers’ time, nor of taxpayer money, but we are looking into it at the president’s request” or something similar. Instead, we have to discern that from the timing of their reply.

Don’t know about your grandparents, but mine went to sit-ins. The purpose of naming things isn’t about what people in the past thought and valued. It’s about what we honor in the present. As we evolve our morals, so too do we change what we honor.

Oh, I disagree. Let’s turn this ugly, tawdry spectacle against him. Let’s surround the parade with yelling protesters with giant FUCK TRUMP signs and Pussy Hats. Let’s block the tanks and get arrested en masse. Let’s turn his effort to celebrate himself into a stinging, shameful rebuke that has every press organ in…

Dominic Gwinn over at Mommy-/Warblog Yr Wonkette (which, for those of you who haven’t discovered it yet, is some seriously top-shelf new-media journalism shit, and you absolutely should be reading it) posted a theory about what’s going on here in a comment:
