David Frum, in discussing his book Trumpocracy with Vox:

Once the indictments start getting unsealed — and there are reportedly “dozens” of them, so we’re talking 40-80 people targeted — that last row is going to need to get a lot bigger to keep the circles to scale.

Fun (?) Fact: Epstein was known to have videotaped what transpired at his house with those girls. Remember that one of the victims sued That Asshole in the WH for this very thing, and that she alleged in her affidavit that one of the other girls “disappeared” and was used as a warning to the other girls to keep quiet.…

You must count the trees carefully. The 11th tree is a Mistake. Do not look at it. Do not let it enter your imagination.

In the UK they refer to them as “Scandi crime dramas,” and I can assure you, after seeing a few, that they definitely have a mood. Quite well-done, usually.

Both Moana and Coco are great films without much (or any) trauma. Moana cured my depression. Also, Steven Universe and the new She-Ra are great. I’ve heard The Good Place is pretty great.

Now would probably be a good time to have a conversation about ratifying the ERA, maybe?

Well, shit. Now I have to run out and buy some Plantains =/

Lies! The Mummy was actually pretty great, played by a phenomenally good physical performer. Shoving her to the side to make room for Cruise’s rewrites is what made the film suck.

$5 says a chemical analysis will show it only marginally distinguishable from tap water.

This thread is deeply instructive:

So … still nothing from the OSC? Fuck this, I’m losing my goddamn mind over here.

Turns out this very site ran an article two decades ago (in 2014; jeezus I’ve aged fast since the election), and it includes pictures:

Well, NRA, if you really believe that voters have been misled, then the best course of action would be for you to mount a public-relations campaign to persuade them of your— OH WAIT YOU CAN’T BECAUSE YOU’RE BROKE.

Another FL election fuckery update: Broward County apparently submitted its recounted results two minutes past the deadline, and now those results are being tossed out.

Also worth noting is that a federal judge in FL ordered the elections boards to allow voters with ballots rejected for signature mismatch (or other dubious reasons) to challenge that rejection.

The thing is, for the conservatives in America, no poor person really suffers their poverty enough. No matter how desperate their circumstances, they haven’t been humiliated enough for the crime of being poor. I remember Megyn Kelly on Fox a few years ago sputtering in disbelief that poor “urban” people should have…

I don’t want you to think I’m trying to erase anybody’s identity, because that was certainly not my intent. Like I said, the Green Book was one example (and one that, you correctly note, was particularly important for Black people). But travel in the US during Jim Crow was dangerous for anybody who was nonwhite,…
