And Zaphod Cheetolbrox does his “I’m right here” hand thing, then tries his handshake bullshit. Macron stops him, this gives him the “You did your best, sport” arm pat.

And Macron doesn’t just go towards Angela first, they hold each other in a warm greeting and exchange kisses. Their bond is real, Donald. France and Germany are best friends and YOU CAN’T SIT WITH THEM.

Disgraced then expired; he pulled the old “Joe Paterno” trick!

GOOD.

YEAH BUT YOU KNOW WHO ELSE IS DEAD?! THIS GUY!

So regarding Mel B. The other day on the Howard Stern Show, someone brought up the fact that Mel was getting divorced. Howard started to say something like “o good she finally got away from him” but cut himself off. Robin started pressing him on it and he very quickly ended the whole discussion basically saying…

Glad Mel B’s getting herself free. What a piece of trash her ex is.

Agree with everything you said, but add that I would find it very hard to believe that this breathlessly upbeat content was not paid for. I mean ... “the entrepreneur has wielded major influence in the fashion world and beyond. This series will only deepen her imprint” is major, major bullshit. Amoruso’s deepest…

She’s from Folsom, a very affluent suburb of Sacramento. Her parents are rich. She was homeless for fun. Everything about her is bullshit.

Being a woman and also a boss is not enough, if you’re just as exploitative and terrible as any other boss.

Agreed. She had a real talent for picking out clothes, and although some of her origin story strikes me as bullshit, I do think she grew a business from basically nothing based on that talent. But she treated employees like garbage and handed the company to a series of subsequent chief executives without her talent,…

UGH WHY

One of the most exhausting and frustrating things in the whole entire world is a privileged white person with oppressive political views getting bent out of shape because someone reasonably makes the logical connection from those political views to personal beliefs and calls her out on it.

After this last election, I find myself being uncomfortable with about a third of the people in the United States. There’s probably a correlation with the third mentioned here and the third I’m referring to.

Huh. It’s almost as if policy and patriarchy dictate this stuff and not the you-go-get-‘em determination of individual women.

Aaron Sorkin is genuinely the worst kind of liberal; he is so insistent that both he, and his fellow travelers, are neutral and color-blind that he repeatedly marginalizes women and minorities in an attempt to keep pretending that he’s the good guy and it’s those other guys that are the bad ones. Because if you keep…

Rewatch the West Wing knowing what you know now. You’ll see it.

For some weird reason every time I hear name Tony Robbins, this comes to mind

God help me, I was involved in a mosh pit to that song as a teen. I recall it fondly, for reasons my 31-year-old self cannot explain.

I think there are probably plenty of people who are pro death penalty in theory but don’t want their names down as official witnesses to a going-out-of-business-sale ten-day death jamboree.
