Yesssss. I’ve been thinking the same thing. This is what privilege looks like. Can you imagine if President Obama’s surrogates had claimed he did something out of pure ignorance and should be excused? (Or, you know, if Obama had done anything that Trump has done. Anything at all. Any one thing.)

Oh no. No no no no no. I’d have to have a dentist on retainer to even attempt that.

Wow. Talk about penny-wise/pound-mind-numbingly-stupid.

I am willing to make an exception for cinnamon bears — but that’s where I draw the squiggly, gelatinous line.

Right? This showed up on my feed yesterday. I mean, they look cute and creative — but I don’t want Tootsie Rolls and mutilated gummi bears all over my cookie. Why would I sit there picking off shit candy just to consume one cookie? That’s wasting time that I could spend eating more cookies.

Alamo Drafthouse in Austin just announced a women-only screening of “Wonder Woman” (just one showtime on a weeknight), which I thought was a fitting tribute to a groundbreaking character and a celebration of sisterhood that would make Diana proud. 

Right? And if there was ever a time to be a “maverick”, it’s now. What does he have to lose? He’s 80. If he fights against his party now, he will be a hero again and gain back some of his pre-2008 credibility. If he doesn’t, he will be primarily remembered as complicit in the nuclear winter/zombie apocalypse/alien…

Whew! Thanks for that.

Yup, it most certainly is!

“Bob’s Burgers” has been my happy place since election day — I have been mainlining episodes when things get rough. Netflix took most of the seasons off this past week, and I am kind of ashamed of how hard it’s been for me.

They distract me and annoy me in English-language stuff — but if I were sharing a theater with hearing impaired people, of course I’d deal with it. Because I meet the bare minimal standards of being a civilized human being living in a society.

Have you seen Arrested Westeros? The shows blend so well.

Didn’t even know this was a thing — we were never offered one, thank jeebus. I did have to run interference with the hospital photographer in terms of props (no tiaras or bows), but she was amenable.

I am amazed at how much of this stuff is not codified into law, and how we have just been functioning on the honor system.

I may have yelled the other day, “Geez, Elmo. Why do you have to insert yourself into everything? NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU!!” while my toddler was watching. But man, she loves him. She loves Cookie Monster and Ernie too, but Elmo is tops.

Hey — they did almost 30 episodes in 16 years!

And you are right — it’s satisfying, it’s validating, it’s empowering. It’s like someone has thrown open a door and *finally* invited you to the party. When I was growing up I never saw people like me on screen (except for Apu, and like, Peter Sellers in “The Party”). When I was in my 20s, I’d run across the room to…

I am so disappointed with the reimagining of the ball gown (as I was with the live-action “Cinderella”). In the original movie, it’s gold and voluminous and grown up. Here it looks like any flimsy yellow Belle costume you could just go out and buy at your local Disney — oh.

I used to live in this neighborhood — it’s super diverse and liberal (rainbow-flags-on-churches liberal). Washington University is nearby. As someone who grew up in the Midwest, I hate these kinds of generalizations. Most metropolitan areas, even in red states, are pretty blue.

But they will still blame Obama, Hillary, the Democrats . . . just like Obama is being blamed for the failed mission in Yemen. And their supporters will eat. it. up.
