Agreed. I like the Working Families Party, but they are wisely building their infrastructure from the ground up and staying local at this point. Maybe there will be a WFP presidential candidate before I die.

[note: i had no idea this was going to get so long, feel free to not read. its basically that I am grateful and proud of hillary clinton and she’s falling on the sword for women]

Rolling Stone did a good piece on this. The headline (“Trump’s Assassination Dog Whistle Was Even Scarier Than You Think”) rubbed me the wrong way, because NO, that IS how scary I thought it was. But they broke it down in a really useful way in the body of the article:

Idiot man gets catfished, nearly starves himself to death.... and you Jalops respond with “Chicks, amirite?”???

I’ve got serious problems with some of her policy positions (almost entirely foreign policy), but fuck, you have to respect her. She is badass. I cannot think of another person in America who could deal with what she has dealt with and still succeed so amazingly.

It’s really hard to explain to people who…

So many reasonable comments! This is why I like The Slot.

You get a star for linking to CGP Grey! Love that guy.

Spaghetti sandwiches were my favorite food as a child. I need to have my Mom make some for me next time I go home. Sketti sandwiches 4ever!

Wrestling has a unique, shitty way of leaving the people who enter the business worse off than if they’d never stepped foot inside a ring.

I know someone who writes LIOLI erotic fan fiction. Apparently David needs the care of Domme Hilary.

Like they hate each other's guts but also kind want to bone? That's my vibe.

“meet up at coachella, boo boo?”

Skittles...

Should have used John’s stage last name. Luna Legend sounds like she could get shit done.
