It is DIRE. It’s no longer a matter of “who is good” and “who is bad” anymore, it is “who is bad” and “who is worse”. Or “who is bad” and “fuck this, I’ll cop the fine”.

And people are fined if they don’t vote in Australia, right? That really sums up the quality of the politicians!

I think because we are one of the few countries that have compulsory voting, when a non-compulsory vote is needed it is not such a big deal to go ahead and do it. Despite being very American in a lot of ways, I feel we swing British in our rule-following streak.

A year ago polling suggested 63 percent of Australia supported ssm. Now today we find out it was 62. So yes, spending 120 million Australian dollars on a survey could be construed as wasteful and it did give a lot of bigots a platform over the past few weeks. But I’m so sick of conservatives wrongly claiming that…

Hey more people mailed a peiece of paper to the Australian government to share their opinion on gay marriage than voted in the election

Who the fuck is Nev Schulman?

This is so meta. Teen girl needs to adopt male alter-ego to be taken seriously in baseball journalism, but adopts male alter-ego of a sketchy jerk, gets busted.

She’s a total shit head.

There’s far too many gender issues in this story than one could unpack in ten lifetimes.

Yeah pretty weird to be like “Ah I was just a kid when I was emotionally manipulating people into sending nudes to me.”

She really doesn’t seem to address the abuse and coercing these women to send naked pictures. A lot of “I felt trapped” but not a lot of “I was really shitty to these people for no discernable reason.”. The deceit isn’t the worst of her actions, but it’s the only one she’s addressing.

There are a lot of comedians/actors I really like who are closely associated with him. I read in the article that Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari are both represented by his manager. I wonder if either of them will do or say something about all of this.

Fuck. I have been such a huge fan of so much of his work. It really bums me out and pisses me off that he’s one of them, too.

I bet a woman said that to him after he did something horrible

I’m not gonna lie, this is depressing for similar reasons above. His routines are usually pretty self-aware and generally call for a better planet. Saddened to see that he’s just as guilty as the other shitbirds

One good thing about being from Eastern Oregon Redneck stock, my dad would have known exactly how to handle that situation and Rand Paul would have a new roommate.

Oh, thank you. That honestly hadn’t occurred to me, but of course they would have called him asking for a comment. If it had been to confirm whether or not he was the person who saved a kitten stuck in a tree or the anonymous donor to a children’s hospital, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have cancelled his premiere.

Here is the plot for Louis CK’s disgusting new film in case anyone still has any doubts about him:

Yeah, as if the NYT didn’t call his camp for comment ahead of publication. They know exactly what it’s about.
