Swamp so drained.

Oooh lord, I needed this. These aren’t sentiments that haven’t already been echoed by the progressive voices on my Twitter feed, but it’s imperative that persons of Amanpour’s stature help make these points in a comparatively more mainstream setting. And it’s doubly exciting to see these crucial points made so…

Leave this beady-eyed motherfucker in his jail cell to rot, please. Let’s not actually ourselves into oblivion because Orange Julius is on his way to the White House and the dredgs of society feel emboldened to pervert the fragile truths that reasonable and humane people have had to fight and die to preserve.

Oh my god. Regigiygas 1987-2016.

If JLaw could talk Aronofsky into getting that Director’s Cut of The Fountain off the ground, that’d be great.

Here’s how I see it.

God, I have such a complicated relationship with WaPo and Politico. On the one hand, they’re so well connected to the insular (yet gossip-y!) DC world, but both also always seem to seek to drum up controversy within otherwise anondyne, inside baseball political stories.

I’m sorry you had to go through that. And that you apparently still are. :(

LOL, we’re all so fucking broken and lost that it’s all that I can do not to just break out in tears when I walk through the streets of this city (Dallas, in case any of you other lovely people are unlucky enough to be stuck here as well) and think about all the disenfranchised people that this country is falling…

Lazzo is so anti-establishment that he believes punching down and punching up are equally valid forms of satire? Do any of the words that I know still mean what they meant even 6 months ago? What’s left of my language?

“This is a courtship. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Oh my god that bullshit, gaslighting nonsense about feminism needing to be all warm and fuzzy to effect change just royally pissed me right the fuck off. How transparently patriarchial can you get?

OK.

“Undertones”? Girl, stop.

Eh, there have been so many performative allyship fails over the past week - see the Safety Pin fallout, for example - that I can’t even be bothered to criticize this dude in earnest. I just don’t have it in me.
