Why does this story make me instantly jump back to this MTV True Life: I’m Getting Married bit from Charlie “I will gut you like a fish” B?

Okay but can we keep some of the Revolutionary War era cosplay? That way we can attract the Hamilton stans and also I personally like tricorn hats.

This feels a lot like the beginning of the tea party, only younger, less white, less hateful, and less Revolutionary War era cosplay.

I am proud to say that in junior high I won a giant trophy at the county fair for my decorated cat cage themed “Cats in Space” (featuring many rocks with googly eyes glued on them). My cat, alas, took home a fourth place ribbon, which is basically the equivalent of a participation medal. It seems she was not a fan of…

I’M RUNNING! And from this point forward in history, no one is ever allowed to say, “but you’re not qualified!” because of Donald Fuckface Trump. If HE can be POTUS, I can very well run for county board or some other higher office. I want to personally take Peter Roskam DOWN.

I’ve said it before, but I loved the effort my local march (in lily-white Kansas) made to make sure that the speakers were diverse- in their race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, abilities, class, age, and point of view. The crowd was respectful and receptive to all the different speakers, and…

yeah people are ripping taylor (and gigi, but taylor is getting more of the hate) for not marching. many many celebs didn’t march...like, maybe they had work that they could not get out of? it seems silly to waste anger on which celebs didn’t show up, when clearly we didn’t need them.

He’s spent his time in office fucking over actual Democrats and he’s now pretending to be one because he wants to run for President. I’m fortunate that I’ve never had a “hold my nose and vote for...” choice in my lifetime, and he would be the first.

I would never eat her food, but I’d love go out drinking with her.

Among other things there’s some of the text from this article.

She was born to teenage parents who were largely disinterested in her and she was left to raise four younger siblings basically by herself. She was physically abused by her mother. She grew up on food stamps, and has been outspoken in the need to protect them (on the off chance that she ends up as First Lady,…

Yup. He’s definitely a corrupt asshole but at least he sometimes uses his powers for good.

She slayed, I died.

Seriously. I grew up Mormon, and even though I’m no longer practicing, I’ve always loved the choir. That they’ve agreed to perform for a man who doesn’t respect their faith out of some ill-considered desire to make evangelicals love them is a fucking disgrace.

Aw yay, Invisible Oranges. A friend of mine writes for them.

Oh that is so cool! Thank you for sharing!

I think that it’s fair to say that The New York Times is an authority when it comes to catty declarations as to who is and is not an opera singer.

I worked on that.

Cool, but like, “healthy” is kind of a meaningless term anyway, right? What’s measurable about “healthy”? Is it low in sugar, fat, salt, some other elements? Does it have to include particular vitamins? “Nutritious” I would maybe accept, but “healthy” is not really a helpful measuring tool for evaluating food.

Right, I’m not suggesting that Colbert is a villain — far from it, he seems to have taken her seriously, used the decision making moment as a way to reflect and make a good decision about his and her future together. There’s just no reason to paint her as a bad guy (there doesn’t have to be a bad guy!), and I’d expect…
