I thought the doc was so wonderfully intimate. The two of them were really incredible, and watching it gave all the more weight to Debbie Reynolds’ final words, “I want to be with Carrie”.

I was confused by this too, he hasn’t been a senator since 1999 why does he need a rep?

It’s goddamn crap that the Go-Gos have never been inducted. They revolutionized the all female act and have been eligible for over 10 years. RHHoF is bullshit.

The heartbeat bill was never the real issue, it would have gotten laughed out of court. This bill is the way more insidious one, and will likely be the test case brought to the supreme court. Kasich is scary because he’s smart.

I feel the exact same way. Also Christopher Egan is gorgeous.

I think there are some examples where the artist himself changes the context of the art in a really important way. Bill Cosby’s entire image was built on him being a good person and a family man. His personality is the entirety of his career so learning disgusting and inexcusable things about his person necessarily…

I find it profoundly upsetting that an antisemite is making money off a show made by and about Jewish people. I don’t have anything clever to add, just that despite the fact that this matters a lot less in the grand scheme of things than the other fuckery going on in the administration the idea of this made me cry.

No, but Ben Sasse is! http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/14/politics/ben-sasse-uber-driver/

He would not have “walked into the presidency”, don’t be ridiculous. Two fairly compelling narratives are that Hillary’s loss was a referendum on the failure of the Obama administration to address the needs of blue collar white America or that it was a racist backlash against the Obama administration, both of which…

Tammy Baldwin is seriously underrated as a senator and progressive as hell, Patty Murray if you’re looking for someone with a long history of coalition building, and Chris Murphy if gun control or foreign relations is your thing

Also, The Gambia’s dictator lost the election to an internationalist moderate and actually accepted his defeat which will mean the first peaceful transition of power in The Gambia in its history

Holy false equivalency, batman!

She’s my go to retort when people say that all country music is conservative

the answer to “what is up with episodes 2 & 3" is that Daniel Palladino wrote them and he’s just not as good a writer as Amy

It honestly doesn’t seem like that’s what he’s referring to? cause Hennessy was founded by an Irishman in the 17oos and I can’t even begin to figure out what he’s talking about re: public education. Also, “It’s been like that for years” implies at some point it wasn’t like that?? I’m totally down to talk about the…

no, and the lt. governor is also the secretary of state so no one is running new jersey right now

I’ve barely gotten out of bed except for classes, am basically only eating grilled cheese, and just spent three hours on the phone with my mom from 3000 miles away. I don’t have suggestions, but will totally commiserate.

because a fucking polio outbreak is exactly what 2016 needs

The internet says he’s moderate and liberal on social issues and has said that he would be like the governator.

If the progressive movement’s only hope is a seventy something white man from Vermont, we’re in a lot of trouble. I vote Mazie Hirono (although we’ll have to navigate the natural born citizen clause) or Tammy Baldwin.
