One thing that has me seriously worried is how Biden keeps acting like the Republican Party is still a loyal opposition that has gone slightly astray under Trump and not an existential threat to democracy, at least since 9/11, which was a major inflection point in our democratic backsliding.

What I really think we need to do ... (is) get our influencers, Kevin Durant, Donovan Mitchell, we need to get Kylie Jenner, we need to get our social media influencers out there and helping folks understand that, look, this is serious. This is absolutely serious. People are dying.

Minnesota and Vermont move to classify grocery store employees—cash register workers, warehouse stockers, delivery drivers—as “emergency employees.”

A very interesting commentary - I can’t say that I completely understand but I can appreciate where you are going. Its the blandness that hides the evil which is so compelling.

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is someone I would never punch in the face and 10 is someone who I would immediately sucker punch on first sight, he is a solid 25.

Lets take a moment to study this face so that we can understand the word “unsettling.” Many years ago Roland Barthes wrote a short piece called “The face of Garbo” where he contrasted Garbo’s (to grossly simplify) iconic or representational face, filmic face with the more particular and specifistic face of Hepburn. It…

You asked for it, you got it, Toyooooooooootaaaaaaaa...

A couple friends came into town to visit for a weekend. We hit up the local bars, get kinda drunk. Go home, one friend sleeps on the couch, another with me in my bed.

Sophomore year of college, I was living in this total dirty hippie house. Eight or nine people would be living there at a time, and people kinda rotated in and out, but we all had our own rooms (small rooms in a big place) and we all paid rent.

So, my worst houseguest was a guy who I called my second gay husband. We were so close that my husband would find us in bed together and would tell my gay husband to make sure that we didn’t spend too much going out to dinner.

As a Warren supporter, watching her speeches lately pains me so much. Her energy is of someone who did all the prep work, knows exactly what she’s saying and knows she’s not being heard. It reminds me so much of being in meetings where I’m presenting and trying to go through the details only to have a more senior guy…

What the fuck kind of hell-hole are you people running down there?

I’ve long hated this show as it is exploitative as fuck. While I strongly disagree with the notions that sustainable weight loss is not possible (I myself am proof it is) The Biggest Loser teaches literally all the wrong lessons on how to do it. So instead of getting into the more controversial social topics I am just…

Schiff just used the phrase “ass-backwards” on the Senate floor.  Look for Repubs to be SHOCKED AND OFFENDED.

Would it kill her to accept an ounce of blame for running a piss-poor campaign and condemning us all to 4-8 years of Trump? Fuck her and the corporate funded jet she flew in on. She’s was and is part of the problem and the best thing she can do to be part of the solution is to go get lost in the woods again.

In the doc, you’re brutally honest on Sanders: “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.” That assessment still hold?

Man, remember those lovely lovely days when all we really had to worry about were the latest wretched moves by the Tea Partiers and what the birthers would say about Obama next?

Because it means that the institutional Democratic Party has been telling its base “no” so that it can chase ghosts: if a voter will vote for Donald Trump, then they will vote for anyone with an (R) beside their name, and the voters the Democratic Party has been trying to win for years? Were never winnable to begin…

The idea was half cynical meme, half sincere lament, but it effectively poured salt on the post-election wound.
