not to put too fine a point on it, but when the beauty pageant contestants and the comedians are the ones calling out the racist and inflammatory rhetoric of our president and not, oh I dunno, OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, then there seems to be something deeply amiss with our country

So what it comes down to is Taylor lied, got called out on it by someone who had the receipts, and instead of just admitting she screwed up, made a track to slam the person she lied about.

What should also make them feel even more stupid than usual is that Robert E. Lee himself didn’t even want the fucking monuments to go up, for the very same reason people are taking them down.

Robert E. Lee’s direct descendant is a librul and I hope it gives white supremacists the raging shits.

I grew up in the 1980s. We were Democrats and pro-choice, but we were also extremely devout, straight-laced Christians. My parents did not permit us to watch MTV for various reasons—partly because my mother was a classically-trained musician who considered pop music to be trash, partly because they felt MTV was

Put out a mediocre song, apparently.

I think... I think we left comments about her on social media and she felt compelled to read all of them and now make a video addressing our opinions of her?

My thoughts as well. What exactly did she do? Do we need to listen to the whole album to know?

Ok, I liked the zombie. But probably because I’m so ready for halloween.

Holy shit am I tired of hearing the phrase “playing the victim” used about a woman who was literally just in a courtroom getting justice for being sexually assaulted this month.

I grew up with Huskies and Malamutes, and they are the best, most pain-in-the-ass dogs ever. My first Husky liked to eat cash. Twenties, not ones or fives, even. So smart, so busy, and so much fur. Your Georgia is a beauty, I’m glad you found each other. I still miss mine, and it’s been 30 years.

I happened upon a husky mix 5 years ago and after several weeks of searching for her home with no luck, decided to keep her. She is the sweetest dog but Jesus is she hard work. They’re escape artists and runners and will not stop. After an entire year of obedience school and a real-time GPS collar, we’re a lot

So here’s a rule to follow everyone: If someone offends a group of which you are not a part of, it is not up to you to decide when people should get over it or accept the apology.

I watch Meyers’s monologue and “A Closer Look” every night, along with Colbert’s monologue/opening segment. Between the two of them, they are keeping me somewhat sane. Meyers really did an extraordinary job with this segment, though - above and beyond the usual. His insight is piercing, the writing sharp, the

Yeah, I’ve never been a huge Taylor Swift fan, but that is a topnotch, A+ answer to a bullshit question. I mean, I’m sure she was prepped for this, but I’d be hard pressed not to stand up and cheer in the courtroom if I’d heard any of these answers in person.

That reply was great. Fuck that guy.

Mueller’s lawyer M. Gabriel McFarland asked Swift whether she was “critical” of her then bodyguard, Greg Dent, for not intervening. Swift responded, “No, I am critical of your client for sticking his hand under my skirt and grabbing my bare ass.”
