Is the incongruity of Babymetal disturbing to anyone else? (Or is that it’s selling point?) The guitars are hard and angry, and the singing is poppy and cheerful. It doesn’t add up to a pleasing whole. It feels like a bad acid trip hallucination.

And then your grandmother promptly threw him out of the house, right?

“It’s the only math-based instrument I can think of that has not been overtaken by AI or automation.”

It kind of looks like it was shot through a layer of gauze, or maybe they used the old-timey cinematographer’s trick of smearing vaseline on the lens of the camera. 

In additional “Whoa, sh*t just got REAL” for conservatives....Christianity Today (prominent evangelical magazine founded by Billy Graham) just put out an editorial that stated that Trump should be removed from office.

This. I confess to being surprised that not a single republican voted yes. The facts of Trump’s abuse of power are staring them in the face and they still voted against impeachment. Can you feckless idiots for once in your damnable lives consider the actual evidence and vote according to the laws? Instead of just…

I saw a tweet that broke down how the vote went by age.

“I love granddads everywhere, but this is not your granddad’s GOP anymore!”

Given the extent of her grifting (and poor taste in jewelry)....is this really a woman that the Indian-American community will want to hold up as a representative?

Airplanes. This is where I get skeeved out thinking about the girls wearing short skirts and sitting on airplane seats.  It’s not like they clean the seats between flights.  Or ever. 

The fact that he’s orange isn’t as disturbing as how he has a good chance of being re-elected. Yes, he’ll be impeached by the house (but not the senate), but he’ll be able to ride the new jobs reports (JOBS JOBS JOBS!!!) and the “scary muslims are shooting up our military bases” concepts to a second term. This sucks.

Well, she gave the RWNJ an opening to vent about how she claims to be Catholic but supports abortion and this apparently makes her entire argument moot.

She should have gone for logic, not religion. You don’t have to “hate” Trump to know that he is the worst mixture of completely corrupt and incompetent and is destroying the democratic process, fomenting hatred, and driving the country into a ditch and needs to be removed from power immediately. These are facts, not…

Well, there was the guy in Connecticut who shot his girlfriend’s two kids because one of them complained about him smoking in the house. But I guess he wasn’t actually their father.

I’m in the greys so no one will see this, but...

Can’t tell if truth or fiction.

Meanwhile, William Barr, the Attorney General of the United States of No Quid Pro Quo, stated for the record that

“the first thing I did was PURCHASE the tickets for them to fly back on Saturday morning”

For some reason I get more work done at airports than in my office. Long layovers are a great opportunity to write and grade. (I can also grade on planes, but writing on my laptop is more difficult, especially if the a-hole in front of me reclines his seat like he expects me to start cleaning his teeth.)
