Nothing interesting. In the ‘90s, he was a timber cutter who would work in Southeast Asia or South America for weeks to months at a time with little to no contact with her because he was in the middle of the jungle. He had been a timber cutter since the early ‘70s (and his dad and his brothers were all timber cutters,…

And he just fired her. So there’s that.

We have the choice between the guy who is shoving our faces in shit while punching us in the kidneys or the guy who is just shoving our faces in shit. I’m not disagreeing with you here but rather trying to draw an analogy for people who might not get it: We’re getting our faces shoved in shit either way, but at least…

Whoops, yeah, I saw T2 as well! I forgot about that one. Or I thought it was directed by someone else.

I have seen neither film. In fact, I just realized I’ve only seen two of this films, and I have only seen one of them voluntarily. And I’m cool with this.

I’m within a few months of Winona’s ago, and I very definitely recognize that face: Six beers and a massive bong hit into a metal show, circa 1987, right before you start throwing devil horns, headbanging in a way that fortysomething you *will* regret, and hooting, “WHOO! FUCK YEAH! LEMMY!” even though Motörhead isn’t…

I like to think that an empty car is part of the heist. What I want to see is *how* they emptied it out. A carefully-staged fight? An awkwardly-choreographed group dance number? An unseen co-conspirator who impersonated a CDC agent and warned everyone who *was* on there about a biological weapon, so all those…

They’ve removed the people who foreign governments would normally work with to sort things out and left only Priebus and Bannon. If a screenwriter had created these two and presented them in a script as movie villians, that writer would have been laughed out of the room for being too fantastical.

They gutted the State Department and removed all ambassadors from their posts around the world prior to issuing this order. This is a coup, guys. It’s a strategic and methodical dismantling of everything this country and its Constitution stands for with carefully-placed bombs to the foundation, and Bannon is the…

Sure he does! As long as we’re talking about checks made payable to him and his own bank balance.

Sweet, a relevant place to post my favorite Kris Kristofferson song. Spoiler: There’s a twist in the final verse!

Not quite, because you could tell by the look on W’s face that he had no clue how the fuck to react. This sociopath knows exactly what he’s doing.

A friend of mine went to the SeaTac protest yesterday. The police ordered the light rail to not stop there, and the buses stopped a mile away and were also apparently ordered to not pick up passengers.

If you live somewhere with a copyright law of lifetime-plus-fifty-years (which I guess applies to the US since I just downloaded a copy), it’s available here for free as a PDF:

I noticed the paperback version of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals is the number one best seller in Civics & Citizenship right now. And the Kindle version is ninth. And the Audible version is thirteenth.

And in contrast to Uber, Lyft has pledged to donate a million bucks over the next four years to the ACLU.

From the outset, I’ve been thinking this was going to hinge on Microsoft and Silicon Valley. We can protest, but they can sue the fuck out of everything. And I just realized how much fun it will be to watch the government realize just how much power they have handed over to corporations once those lawsuits start.

I saw someone say the other day that the reason we are better off with Pence because we can deal with an assault on our rights. We cannot deal with nuclear war. And btw, China has already moved nuclear-capable long-range missles into position to strike the US. So there’s that.

Do you also have the Gish Gallop in your explanation arsenal? It’s also deliberate. Basically, it’s when someone throws so fucking many lies at you so quickly and in such a short amount of time that you can’t respond to all of them. So basically what every single person associated with the current administration does…

(First wave, not first want. I’m trying to post with a stoned kitty draped across me, and it’s not very easy.)
