Trying to get out of your coastal libtard bubble is the new Unicorn Frappuchino!

Honestly, at this point, the people I want to see going down the most are Jared and Ivanka. I worry that if they somehow get out of this debacle alive, they will take the millions they've made in the past 100 days and bombard us with PR spin for a couple years until nobody can remember how complicit they were in all…

So… President *shudder* Ryan?

One man's hell is another woman's heaven…

Well, only the globular clusters. The emission nebulae still see him as a father figure.

I wish Merkel had a sense of humor, sadly the only way she knows how to deal with this clusterfuck is a disappointed headshake and a diplomatic change of subject.

Eh… I guess? But with Scalia, you had all those weirdo Ruth Bader-Ginsburg fans who scold you for celebrating her BFF's death, so I mostly kept it to myself.

Never felt so not-guilty about being happy that someone has died.

They chitchat about suits…

Is Huckabee-Sanders Bannon's and Spicer's de facto boss now? Of the three, she seems to be the least hated by Trump at the moment, do you think that translates into their private interactions?

The TANIS guys really need to hire some more writers.

I think my favorite aspect of this whole Faraci debacle is Matt Zoller Seitz' complete delight that he is no longer forced to move in the same circles as Faraci.

To shake things up a bit, geographically speaking, I'd like to recommend a South African podcast called Sound Africa, a documentary/history/investigative journalism podcast in the vein of I guess Radiolab (minus the nervous editing) or 99% Invisible, if I had to compare it to other podcasts.
There's a two-parter ("The…

Mercer's fake news spreading "data firm" Cambridge Analytica is getting involved in various elections in Africa and Australia as well. The Kenyan government has hired them to help out with the presidential elections in August, and they are reportedly trying to start a branch in Australia next.
Cool!
