In my Black Nerd group, we all plan to drape ourselves in our finest African outfits and fabrics, with maybe a cosplayer or two among us, and take over the Brooklyn Alamo. We ain’t playing.

The Black Panther movie, and all of it trailers/posters/interviews and everything have been one of the few bright spots in the dreary shitstorm that 2017 has been. It actually gave me a reason to look forward to something in 2018, shallow as it may sound. I can’t wait to see this. I will buy my tickets the minute they…

Stassa always writes so well on gender and language. “Witch Hunt” is going to be a term that we beat into the ground, I think, but I love how whisper networks/gossip keep coming up in these articles. I think an earlier article linked to Anne Helen Peterson’s article on gossip, which is also very good. But gossip…

Yeah and also I Googled “mowing at night” (this happened at 5 a.m. but close enough) and it seems there’s a lot of rage for this issue, sadly.  http://nypost.com/2015/07/31/man-kills-neighbor-for-mowing-lawn-at-night-cops/

I find it hard to believe Paul mows his own yard.

IT’S THE DOG

Rene and Rand sittin in a tree

Thank you also for the much-needed periodic reminder that Mike Huckabee is garbage.

Well, one thing that’s going on is that Rand Paul is exactly the libertarian asshole of a neighbor that you would expect him to be. As the developer of the gated community that Rand lives in has said, Paul is the kind of guy who moves in to a development with a 13-page covenant on rights and restrictions that everyone…

I recognize that quite well. That ain’t relationship hand holding. That’s caregiver hand holding. It lets her raise her arm as support for his doddering ass to clutch on to.

Hope Hicks is shtupping Corey Lewandowski. Supposedly Melania is in a long-term affair with the head of security for Tiffany & Co, and divorce papers had been signed, but then President Bone Spurs was elected. I can’t post a pic here, but this website has a photo of the security guy. http://www.yourtango.com/2017304856…

He looks like Sinatra.

I agree with all of this so much! I will also judge* attorneys who think that Ally McBeal is an appropriate role model for court clothes. As you said, it may make me an asshole, but I still keep those damn thoughts to myself because it’s none of my business.

“No insanely pilly sweaters that make me want to chase you around with a sweater shaver”

Realizing they might face some consequences. Nothing that could have happened to the women would have mattered.

Right, and then day 2 Sarah Sanders will give a press conference saying “the President would never use a body double, we have no comment on this ridiculous assertion”

Exactly. The only way he could pull something like this off is if they didn’t tell him. Since he’s such a warm and devoted spouse, I’m sure he’d pick up on that right away. Hell, she may have taken off ages ago and no one’s noticed.

“warmest condolences for the death of your son/daughter, military is hard almost as hard as writing this. Here’s a coupon for 5 dollars off on your next visit to the Trump Tower restaurant and a MAGA keychain”

Also Santa Claus is white and black people deserve to be brutally killed by police and women who are sexually harassed and assaulted are probably asking for it. Gotta leave it at that. We’ll be right back and our next segment will include a prolonged discussion of high waisted jeans.

God, I love Jane Fonda. What a bad ass. The fact that her very name makes right wing Boomers froth at the mouth is like the cherry on top of the awesome sundae.
