Mantel’s write up in the Guardian is really good. Highly recommended.
I never thought I’d say this, but we need you Kanye West.
MY THEORY: They’re going to age the Simpsons a few years. Put Bart in middle school, at least. Maggie in kindergarten or first grade (but still won’t talk). Mr Burns finally died and Homer has a new job, and Marge is working as well. There, 30 more years of stories. Fucking pay me, FOX.
I (sometimes) like watching Shepard Smith too. The disconnect between the actual news team and all the blowhard pundits is astounding.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. But only if the friend asks first. Otherwise, nevermind.”
‘“What is off-putting about them,” one political veteran told me, “is they do not grasp their essential irrelevance. They think they are special.”’

And an untold number of other small critters have perished. Squirrels, raccoons, rabbits, wild cats, small birds. Literally billions and billions of insects have died. It’s staggering, if you think about it.
The orange man can only pardon federal crimes, so find some state laws he violated and charge him in in an AZ court.
I didn’t even realize that was the author’s name. Now everything is 10x worse.
So how the hell do you pronounce Laannee? I’m going to assume that it’s Lan-ee because it’s “Annie with an L,” but which syllable are we supposed to stress? Is it LAH-knee or lah-KNEE?! It’s a stupid, stupid name and whoever wrote that passage is stupid.
A.B.TS.
