The Moulin Rouge was founded in the 1880s. Ballet dates back to the 1500s and originated in royal courts with floor-length gowns.

Charles and Diana’s pairing came about for much the same reason people have disaster sex - the need for human closeness and comfort during a tough time.

When I was a young alternative person, it was shameful to like Britney. I’m glad I can love her with abandon now.

Getting rid of EPA, getting rid of Department of Education, tweet something that the media will latch onto and no one will notice, it’s the best possible idea in our kept up kardashian world. he can set in motion whatever he wants and mitigate the backlash by doing something dumb.

Jared Kushner looks like the perfect, caring fiancé in a L&O SVU episode who is later revealed to have been kidnapping all those brunettes and dressing them up in his late mother’s clothes.

To be fair, he’s only getting an early start because his impeachment will inevitably slow things down, re: campaigning.

Oh, god, I was so mad at MSNBC for that. So many news stories to cover- the administration loses an NSA and Labor nom in a matter of days, constant Russia shit, even the Dems puttering along to electing a new DNC chair- and that idiot Chris Hayes is wasting time talking to a couple of idiots who have never governed…

Be very thankful. At my rehearsal dinner, my dad said to Mr. Schwa, “I wish she was marrying her ex-boyfriend.” After the rehearsal dinner, my mom said to Mr. Schwa, “You deserve so much better then her.”

And a little off topic but a story that makes me a little sad but mostly makes me laugh a deep, guttural laugh.

TBH right now “favor(ing) state power over federal power” sounds extra tasty crispy.

I take your point but there are actually different forms of intelligence. I have learned from many people who do not read for pleasure but have other ways of perceiving the world. If their heart is kind; it doesn’t matter so much to me whether they read or not. I’ve also met a lot of super well-read assholes.

Ugh. See, this is what is getting me so down and stressed. I do not have the time or resources to combat and protest every fucking little thing, and how do you figure out what to prioritize? There is just SO MUCH, it’s overwhelming. How are we ever going to be able to effectively organize and push back, when every…

Those little striped socks touch my heart for some reason.

Jeb Bush - Master of the Long Game

I’ll tell you what, there is nothing like a Trumpocalypse to make me look at some Republicans in a different light. Before this shitshow I never once thought I’d be happy about something Marco Rubio did or said.

I agree. This is a big part of why democrats lose elections. The GOP gets everyone to fall in line like good little soldiers while progressives are all over the place, worried about things that may be “problematic.” I am a fan of nuance. I love critical thinking! But shit is real right now and we need to join…

Mother Nature has ways to just shut that whole thing down, obvs.

Really? Really? Can we ever...EVER stop eating our own? We (progressives) have the biggest single enemy (obvious) to defeat since...Christ I don’t even know who...and we’re still doing this? We’re going to criticize and alienate white people who are late to the party for being late to the party? Now is not the…
