Hey now, Spygate was an excellent SciFi Channel Series! Compelling if criminally cut short storyline, excellent acting and a so-cheesy-its-great theme song. I just blame the network execs for forcing that name and then putting it up against B5 on TNT. Tough, imaginary days for 90s SF fans, tough very imaginary days...

I’m currently experiencing this solely through this livestream. I feel like the only things I’m missing are ones that would make me have an aneurysm

Look, I get it, there’s evidence mounting that if there wasn’t deliberate collusion it’s only because Trump is such a syphilitic-suck-punched-moron that he makes Charles II of Spain (el Hechizado for this in the know) look goddamn competent, but really what’s the story here?

Damnit...I was hoping that meant “Yes, I’d love to write a letter of recommendation for you, you well read lady you!” Now I’ll just have to find someone of similar cultural cache to do that.

Okay, but how about when a Prof told me to “Fuck off!” when I said I’d read Infinite Jest twice?

I mean I agree it was savvy to suggest but it might not have worked as well as her run. For one thing she is to Alaska what the Kennedy’s are to Massachusetts; the scions of political giants. But Strange isn’t that and what’s more he was out primaried by Moore in large part because a lot of folks from Alabama were…

Public defender, you’re good people :)

Awesomely one of the points of her essay was Sarah Vowell comparing Gore to Willow from Buffy and how if Gore had poked fun at his nerdiness he might have done better! #leswillowbestwillow (not related but my truth)

“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” - Edmund Burke.

I actually want to defend Gore here, at least a little. He was a dorky, wonky guy but outside of HRC (who, like Henry IV for Hal, I revere but cannot love) he may have been the most qualified person to run for president in my lifetime? Though part of my fondness definitely comes from a Sarah Vowell essay.

I mean Blood Meridian starts in Tennessee; there was a time when our western frontier was broader than what we might now consider “western.” Having said that, the only source that comes to mind that might excuse his bullshit machismo driven stuntfuckery is a deconstructionist western that paints cowboys as…

Hey now, don’t be caught thinking outside the lines or Governor Winthrop will exile you to that godforsaken Rhode Island!

I will make a small piping voice for Ithaca which is a small blue dot in that red and rusted sea. But yeah...upstate is fucking bleak. Like a Zone from STALKER/Roadside Picnic.

No his job was to pad his resume so he could eventually go to a defense firm and earn millions defending famous sex offenders! Or something like that

...I’m done

No gods no kings. Only ingrates.

Holy shit!!!! I’m probably just too Keyes up from

And my ancestral land of Wales had for years suffered from its loss of the lucrative “attack and pillage Mercher lords then disappear into our deep mysterious forests” trade. That damn Longshanks and his engineers!

Is it unseemly to go to her grave with a boom box and blast tramp the dirt down while doing just that? Asking for a friend....

It okay just play system shock and you’ll be fiiiine. Or you know you won’t but who cares! *inserts ironically cheerful music and laughs maniacally.*
