Let’s set aside the Amber Heard stuff for a moment.

In the whole Depp-Heard conflict, I'm firmly on team no one, and I've caught a lot of heat from people I know for saying so. They both seem like shitty people, but it gets me seeing so many people stanning for Johnny Depp. Why? He hasn't been a good actor in at least a decade, and loving him because he was a pretty…

Well see the slapper seems to be a far-right fascist and a royalist, (did you get the part where he yelled “Montjoie! Saint Denis!” before slapping Macaron?) and him and his two friends were actually interviewed by the Quotidien team before the slapping took place. The slapper was silent but his friend said that…

Sure but that would require an act of Congress, which we know is about half full of morons. Using the courts to make it about useless is as probably good as it will get for now.

If we take him at his word, he could have been trying to make something work with Cassie Randolph at all costs rather than admit to himself that he was gay.

It’s about controlling her opinion of him and making sure she knows he’s a sex stud or whatever instead of reality.

I see couple of things happening with this Colton discourse.

I want to send a bottle of the booze of their choice to every person who got on Zoom to rip these fuckers apart.

I’ll bet money that they only considered doing this because they thought no one was paying attention and they wouldn’t get any backlash for it. Idk how savvy members of the Board of Canvassers are but…

Something not mentioned here from the Times article is that they used the reported voting discrepancies as the justification for not wanting to certify the Detroit region votes. Which was odd as some of the majority white counties they had already agreed to certify had more reported discrepancies.

As a devout Catholic and a politically progressive person, I personally hope that I do enough good in this life to be given a front-row seat to the “I Don’t Know Her” show at the pearly gates when this administration starts showing up. Now, 45 might go straight to hell without passing go or collecting $200, but the…

I don’t care about Vanity Fair or photoshoots, but her ability to face the constant hostility thrown at her with resilience, class, intelligence, and wit is something to aspire to. Her willingness to engage with it, call it out for what it is, instead of politely ignoring the misogyny, racism, and classism spat in her…

Ditto with Trudeau addressing the covid crisis in Canada. Especially reassuring to see one more concerned with income support for ordinary citizens than the stock market. Although, when Trudeau mentions 5 million Canadians have downloaded a covid tracing app being used to notify others of close contact, my heart sank…

We don’t deserve this person.

It is a veritable balm to my soul that AOC can use Proper Noun Title Case ironically. And yes, dear fellow survivors, don’t forget to drink that water.

Kavanaugh lied much more grotesquely by saying votes that come in after election day could “flip” the results. There are no results if the legitimately cast ballots haven’t been counted.

I’ve been watching Emmanuel Macron speaking in response to the terrorist attacks in France (and the French Embassy in Saudi Arabia), and it’s hard not to get swept away by the optics of a leader who behaves like a rational human being. I mean, look at him! Showing empathy! Being responsible! Speaking in complete…

“The Christian Post ran dueling op-eds by Joe Biden and Mike Pence to make a case for which old white man running for president is most Godly.”

Thread for election/data nerds who may be stressing out. tl/dr, there has been insufficient attention paid to two facts: Biden is polling >49% in most places that matter, and the number of undecided voters now is well below 2016.

What do you think they should have done? Jumped over the counter and started swinging too? It does look to me like they they froze, took in the fact she was holding her damn own, and then attempted to detach him from her. Not sure we can expect too much better.
