There’s an interview with Adam Curtis (director of the BBC Documentary “HyperNormalisation”) and he basically said that in the last years of the Soviet Union everyday people basically understood that the government was lying to them, that the economic model was unsustainable and that nothing was working as it should.…

I’ve had that same feeling and I’ve had trouble articulating it. This is literally the worst outcome imaginable. Not just him winning the election but every single decision he’s made since then. It’s fucking terrifying. And the news coming out every day is just getting worse and worse.

there’s going to be a lot of stories like this the next four years with Trump nowhere to be found.

For those interested, Start Up recently did a several episode series about Charney’s attempts at starting his new company and his past at American Apparel. While I’m generally skeptical of our societal tendency to give so-called complicated male figures a lot of attention in some sort of attempt to figure them out,…

The video ... ends with the girl hanging from the tree for around 20 minutes as the sun sets, while a woman off-camera can be heard calling her name.

As the granddaughter of Ukrainian peasants (on one side), I wish I could disagree with you. But I don’t. It wasn’t the fault of the people, though: brutality and curtailed education conspired to exaggerate the most base circuits. There was literally no other way to survive. Any refinement was seen as suspect, and…

Look, maybe all these people are assholes for voting against the bill. But before we go nuts, what is the REASON they voted against it? I don’t know enough about it to have a strong opinion and I’m sure the vast majority of people don’t, either. Perhaps there was a good reason they voted against it.

“Anthony, come up from the basement and get your dinner!”

They meant nothing, really. At the end of the day the election results were driven mostly by: (1) James Comey, and (2) the hacks at the New York Times and Associated Press who spent a year (well, 20 years in the NYT’s case) desperately trying to drag Hillary’s reputation through the mud through non-stories (we don’t…

Anthony Weiner not being dead in a ditch or renditioned to a black site in Yemen is proof that Hillary ain’t killed nobody.

This type of reporting is just downright irresponsible.

Facing a 2020 lineup that apparently also includes fucking Mario Cuomo,

Reality TV and information overload. It’s commonly stated that people are more informed now than they have ever been. I’d say the evidence points to the contrary. We have more information available than ever before, but most people can’t or won’t filter the nonsense or even really think about a subject, because…

The thing is though, even if they showed all of the inside pages of the passport, a lack of a Czech stamp would mean nothing. Travel within most of the EU countries (give or take a few) is governed by the Schengen Agreement which allows people to travel within countries that have signed on to it (including the Czech…

Also, I’m so fucking sick of asshole idiot reporters and intelligence agents saying Russia was just looking to hurt Hillary — No, stupid heads, it’s about the sanctions, Putin want the sanctions lifted, DER. That’s why all of Trump’s nominees are hella climate change deniers and Tillerson said that sanctions are bad…

Yeah, I like how people keep forgetting the fact that one of his dumb shit sons said, blatantly, that they owe “hundreds of millions” of dollars to Russians. Like everything else bad that a Republican does, it gets a shrug. Because Hillary used a private email server (just like her predecessor, not that anyone cares.)

Can it happen when he is driving around Pence, McConnell and Ryan?

he can’t be into water sports because he’s a germaphobe

Latifah, savvy and classy as always, said this

I hate that they have started to bring the designers on the show. Pnina Tornai’s dresses are butt ugly. I’ve never seen a single woman, no matter her size, shape, etc., look good in one of her creations. The brides always resemble a stripper in a figure skating costume.
