Brag thread to make myself feel better about sitting on the couch all damn day.

This makes me really miss my grandfather. He passed away when I was in high school, but dementia had taken him from us long before that, and I never quite got to have these kinds of high level conversations with him — when I was old enough, he was pretty far gone.

Basically

What a treasure, Prachi.

If we’re mean enough will he cancel his presidency?

Fuck this. I’m so sick of this God crap. I mean, if you want to be religious, that’s fine, just don’t claim that it makes you more American than I am.

This is the biggest irony of all. That the evangelicals went overwhelming for a man who only worships himself. Of course the election of Trump has shown people up for what they really are at their core.

Now playing

In the continuing absence of Mortem, it’s time for Tuesday’s UK roundup.

But they act like shitheads in part because they’re testing boundaries—they’re developing a sense of what is and isn’t an okay way to act. And they’re learning, now, that it’s socially acceptable to be hateful. So, like, yes, kids are always assholes, but that doesn’t mean that this isn’t cause for concern, or that

Kids have always been assholes (not yours Im sure). ETA: What I mean is the Lord of the Flies was accurate in its depiction that kids can be cruel and heartless. We are just paying attention because they feel safe being shitheads out in the open right now.

You are not alone. Some of us would rather look at the beach out of the window of our cars.

Whoo! I don’t care that I haven’t seen it, or that the casting is signature Coppola Pale Blonde. This still feels like a big deal for women in film. Like: some women got a table in the boys club and now they are going to invite their friends inside, too. At least I hope that’s what happens; I always hope that’s what

Macron burned a precious supply of the Donald’s nonrenewable life energy. Moar, please!

I might enjoy it if I could be wheeled to the Oceanside onto a platform where I could see the ocean without touching a grain of sand

I too would really prefer to be at fault for my own untimely demise, it’s really all you can ask for in life.

C’est un homme who doesn’t have le temps for your merde, Donald.

I keep hoping Donald Trump invites me to the White House just so I can very vocally and publicly turn him down.

my fave workout trick (RIP) was to go on the elliptical at 8 pm when the o’reilley factor came on. if i was feeling tough, i would start at level 1 and for every stupid thing they said, i would bump it up a level. if i was tired, i would start at lvl 25 and drop it a level every stupid thing i heard.
