i am also done. i can handle some gore, and generally soft-tissue and blood gore, but head/brain gore makes me ill. i knew i wouldn’t be able to watch it, but i figured it might be quick, like GoT’s infamous head/brain gore scene. so i just closed my eyes.

Last night did it for me. After 6 seasons I am throwing in the towel and walking the fuck away. First, the gore was out of control even for a show that never avoids gore. To me it went the way of the last few Saw movies where gore was all there was. Second, while the deaths of 2 main characters was shocking it didn’t…

That’s only funny if you think Russian sounds like an “angry” language. I get the stereotype for the Germans, obviously, but I’ve always stereotyped the Russians as steely and not prone to emotions.

Keith Gaddie, chairman of the Political Science Department at the University of Oklahoma, inferred a more nefarious motive. Russia is “trying to throw shade on our election process,” he told the World, and “screw with people’s heads.”

You realize that Chechnya and Moscow have a historically contentious relationship right? Putin getting 99% of the vote in Chechnya would be like Donald Trump winning 99% of the vote in Vermont. Or Hillary Clinton carrying Alabama by 99%.

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen this, but it’s amazing:

It’s not like that’ll be difficult to do with Trump in charge; a Putin apparatchik should be able to do that in 160 characters or less or, if they’re feeling creative, a captioned image.

Every philosophy is like looking for a black cat in a dark room; Marxist philosophy is like looking for a black cat in a dark room, but the cat isn’t there; Soviet philosophy is like looking for a black cat in a dark room, the cat isn’t there, but you keep shouting “I’ve found it! I’ve found it!”

In Russia, election observes you!

Haven’t you fuckers done enough?

You forgot Polonium Coladas. They also get complimentary Polonium Coladas at their favorite watering holes.

I feel like this election is the most fun Russia has had in a long time.

We need to send officials to Russian elections so we can figure out how to increase our voter turnout

Aw, but what if they really, really, genuinely and not at all in a deceptive way wanted to see American democracy in action? What if all the hacking, all the the animus, the snide remaks — were Russia’s way of getting America’s attention again?

I don’t know...

I don’t care about the hacked emails or rigging the election, Putin. Just give me my goddamn Spotify and Twitter back.
