Ugh :(

We should refer to that style of shoulder pad/poof as the Martyn from now on.

This is an excellent idea for an ongoing series on one of the Kinja blogs here.

He was on the periphery of my friend circle. Great lad to go out and party with and his absence will be felt deeply.

I went to his Twitter and now I’m insanely sad. What a funny, cool dude. Also he and his boyfriend are freakin’ adorable.

Well put...

For people in the US who don’t know Manchester well. One bit of history that ties the countries together... Manchester was the heart of the Lancashire cotton spinning industry which was by far the largest importer of American cotton in the world. As such, the Confederacy hoped that the UK would intervene on their side…

I think it’s because that shouldn’t be the sole standard for a government official. Even beyond the civil court standard of weight of evidence, elected officials should be held to a higher standard, closer to “should have no substantiated evidence to indicate the possibility of a conflict of interest” towards the…

Oh fuck, this one guts me. One of his friends posted in the My Favorite Murder Facebook group in hopes to get information on his whereabouts. So sad to hear that he was one of the fatalities :(

I was reading a profile of him and s tribute by his best friend and he reminded me so much of one of my best friends, I started sobbing in the elevator at work. His boyfriend’s tweet asking him to come back and watch last night’s Corrie with him was heartbreaking. He seemed like such a fun, positive person. And anyone…

OK, I went to the link to his mom’s craft store and it’s breaking my heart - everything is sold. I am assuming people did this to show their support for him, but sometimes people are amazing:

His final pinned tweet of Audrey Noise is spectacular.

I was reading about him on The Pool and it made me profoundly sad. He seemed like a lovely, funny, genuine person. And he had a Deirdre Barlow tattoo!

I lost someone a while ago - a heavy Twitter and Facebook presence can provide all sorts of wonderful nuggets to make that process easier.

You’re not the court, you don’t have to give that ratfucker an inch. Innocent until proven guilty is a legal term; an invaluable one, but you aren’t under any obligation to enforce it in your day to day life.

You have been frozen a while to use a scott peterson reference...

Didn’t the letter Trump have drafted a (few) week(s?) ago about not having financial ties to Russia “except in a few instances” come from a firm that received a Russian award or something? Was it the same law firm, or did Trump find a completely different firm for those terrible optics?

but trump said that he “could say with some surety, that no president in history has been treated worse!”

If anybody need a little dose of late-night graveyard humor about all of this, Rachel Maddow reminded me earlier tonight that the lawyer Trump hired to represent him was the lead defense lawyer hired by Sberbank, the Russian oligarch’s finance bank that’s run for Putin’s benefit They were being sued by the Federal…

Just like the abusers, he always spins himself as a victim and lawyers up. He is not under attack. America is and he is the fucking perpetrator.
