I haven’t seen the show yet but this description motivates me to finally start it. Also, I just saw Jonathan Richman a few days ago, he’s a close acquaintance, and I love when his or Modern Lovers songs come on during shows and movies. He’s great! I do hope they make Roadrunner the official song of MA, that would be…

I know, I wonder if that person was like “oh damn, I just said nub!” afterward in their head. 

Absolutely THIS. The EGO of the Anonymous [General KELLY] who wrote this is so enormous. He’s only thinking of his own legacy, not the fact this will end his little “take papers off Trump’s desk” game. Trump can now just fire everyone and start over, as he keeps doing anyway. Also, fuck Bob Woodward for that matter.…

Why? Pence wants the presidency terribly. 

Liberals—and I’m including the NYTimes in this—are messing all of these opportunities up, per usual, by fawning over hypocritical Republicans instead of holding them accountable for...anything, really. Corporate media is so uninteresting and predictable.

I walked away from the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam with that impression so I’m glad to read your comment. His brother seems to have been his main source of support, right? As for that museum, I wish I’d started at the top, where the best art and most interesting letters were, and worked my way down.

Oh I think it’s pretty obvious one of them wrote the NYTimes Op-Ed anonymously and the other is one of the helpers mentioned in the Op-Ed. That’s why their responses are so kissass and eloquent—they’re used to lying to Trump at this point and they want stay in the White House so later they can say surprise! We’re the…

Same, to the point of not being able to concentrate until I figure it out. My partner never recognizes ANYONE so this just reinforces my need.

“That’s the nub of this whole story.” 

It’s amazing and I’m so jealous (of it and that you could make that)

I am also that person and would say the directing was terrible, too.

I saw the first episode last night and I don’t know if anyone else from the South gets annoyed with portrayals of it being SO DAMN SLOW all the time and everyone giving long meaningful stares and making grand statements (True Detectiving is what we should call it). They repeated every scene a million times, too, I…

I’ve done that, too. The only problem is all my feeds are too delightful now and it’s hard to step away from them. So, double-edged sword maybe?

That Danny guy is a rapist Scientologist and Donna is a scientologist and his on-the-show sister ended up really messed up, and I’m not sure Ashton and Mila weren’t just always hooking up so...who’s left to hang out with? 

It’s impossible for me not to say that in my head whenever I hear or see Matt Damon

I read the headline “UNTIL SHE DRIES” and didn’t even think about it, I thought it was a mummy reference. Because they’ll keep her around in the office until way after she’s dead I think, and people will just think she’s in a “mood.”

I’m seeing Chuck Norris. And it’s not just the toupee, it’s the whole face and vibe.

Just coming here to say that! Water is not going to help (much)!

Language matters. Educating oneself matters. Intellectual curiosity matters. We’re talking about adults’ responses here, not children’s.

In Raleigh, NC there was a KKK rally and the police stood in line protecting THEM from anti-fa protestors, who, when they cursed at the KKK, were chastised. It was shameful.
