I did not anticipate watching her take the stage meaning so much to me. Then I was crying. An actual fucking woman was making her VP victory speech. My DIL texted me that she was doing the same. This is the kind of me too we deserve. May there be many more.

This is Jezebel, where they put a literal fucking bounty on a woman’s unretouched photos because they thought she was too fat and ugly to look decent in a Vogue spread. This is the site of “too smart to be raped”, “voting for Hillary is just voting with your vagina” and ENDLESS complaining about “why doesn’t the…

Despite the historic nature of Harris’s election, there is a wariness about whether she will fulfill promises to the Black and brown communities that she claims to represent.

The funniest thing I heard today was a progressive pundit calling angry Trumpist the Y’all Qaeda. 

Exactly. This is a show that just wants to be a fun space western, and I reckon it does a pretty damn good job at it. It’s not trying to be The Wire But Star Wars, more a Wanted Dead or Alive But With Cute Baby Alien and that's okay. 

She added: “We need to not ever use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again... we lost good members because of that.”

Preparing for the oncoming froth twitter shitstorm from you know who.

I believe that Biden is going to win based on the data from numerous sources. Without a majority in the Senate, the prospects of getting a lot of legislation done will be very challenging.

White vote for Trump is down, just as it was down in 2016 relative to 2012. So while more people voted for him, including more white people, than last time, the percentage of whites who voted for him was lower (again).

Yup, even if Biden wins it’s still been way too close to say that America has changed because of Trump’s antics.  All it did was let people know it was OK to show their whole ass, and the stopper’s not going back in that bottle any time soon.  I wonder how many generations, if at all, it’ll take to undo the cultural…

What’s really fucked is that Trump lost among white men but......... GAINED among Latinos, Blacks and white women???? How the hell could these demographics vote for this dictator in GREATER numbers than before???   No, the Republican Party isn’t dead by a long shot.

I think it is important to note that the difference between now and 2000 is that the legal questions in the 2000 Florida race involved the recount of votes cast as opposed to finishing the actual count of legitimately cast ballots.

Another reason for hope: the only place where Trump could plausibly bring a lawsuit is Pennsylvania and it’s currently looking like it won’t matter anyway since it’s likely Biden won Nevada Wisconsin and Michigan which in addition to flipping Arizona and Nebraska-2 gives Biden exactly 270 electoral votes

I don’t think those articles mean that the Republican party is dead as in they’re going to be wiped out by a blue tide. The couple that I looked at were making the argument that it no longer resembles anything even close to what the Republican Party has traditionally been and is now basically an authoritarian racist na…

We could be sharing one conscience. I keep wanting to tell myself that there’s no way my country could fall into authoritarianism during my life, because you only read about that in history books! Then I remember that history had to come from somewhere, and I check the news. Fuuuuuuck.

Halo Beauty was always a bad idea. It seemed questionable at launch because if you took them as suggested, you would be spending $500+ a year on vitamins. Tati was also A complete asshole about concerns people had about some of the ingredients. A complete waste of money and Tati’s audience is probably less willing to…

I refuse to let myself read anything about the news when I am trying to fall asleep. Instead, I do my obsessive doom scrolling during all of my waking hours like a well-adjusted person.

Building sketches around Mulaney’s persona—self-aware but never cloying or smirky...

This. Biden can’t lead them by the hand to the polls then take them out for lunch afterward.

If people won’t vote in their own self interest, then nothing can be done about that. If a single comment can turn off Biden voters while Trump acts like a rabid dog, then we deserve Trump.
