I feel like something has shifted in Trump. He appears to be undermining himself again and again, at a higher and more profound rate than usual, even as he seems to be advancing his plans on a surface level. Literally saying that you don’t need to do something as you also declare a state of emergency about the same

What’s grossest to me about this is how CALCULATED doing the Taylor Swift cover album appears to be. How do you attract underage girls? By fake-ironically covering the music of their girl power idol, earnestly inserting himself into the world of the young women he ideally wanted to target sexually. It seemed like a

I believe these were songs he wrote and performed:

This very thing has taken up a lot of my own headspace the past few months.

Ugh, it’s just delaying tactics... we HAVE to do something like the New Green Deal. Everyone with half a brain knows this. Like... is this not a completely obvious foregone conclusion?

They are the answer, but for opposite reasons. Like... I don’t need to cuddle a rando if I feel touch-starved. Dating?! Pah! Chopper and Cujo are master cuddlers, and they look at me with such love. especially after a long walk in the park or when I whip up something even slightly fancy for dinner. Honestly, my dogs

Serious question: what is a more appropriate way for Steven to make amends?

I just want to say that if you can view Roma in a theatre, do it.

I would like to think that the man was just trying to navigate a dangerous situation, risking his own freedom to help a young girl, but... truly this story crystalizes a terrible truth: when you are already vulnerable, when you are already victimized, talking about it is the very thing that sets you up for the next

My ex would do every household chore in a purposefully inept and incomplete way and look at me and say “i helping!!1!!!!” in a baby voice, literally as if he expected a praise and a cookie for... folding his own laundry or unloading the dishwasher.

As a former actor for hire from the same timeframe, I have to say I think she was being quite literal with this comment.

OH SHIT THE LIBRARY IS OPEN and THE LETTER OF THE DAY is “R.”

R is for Reading, which is FUNDAMENTAL, ZeroShadow.

Just so you know this was on the Splinter main page just now. It seems sorely out of date and lacks a link. Why is this being pushed on Splinter today?

Sigh... It’s almost funny, except it isn’t. At this point I feel that this kind of “shut up with your saying true things that make me uncomfortable or it will be your fault when we lose” response is worse then a Trump supporter in a MAGA hat. This enemy is camouflaged by their own self-rightious (and self-defeating)

Just dropping in to highlight this - the most valid point - and to say to anyone who represents themselves as Progressive or Liberal or Democratic in any way... if you are ok with this shit perpetuating, and think that calling out institutional racism and systemic inequality is a problem that might divide your party

This is giving me some kind of rage stroke.

Say it louder for the people at the back.

This is actually a very smart move. I have a feeling they are just talking about adding the back catalogue of episodes from previous seasons (a la the whole Buffy / Angel catalogue), not providing current GOT episodes as they air, but...

And with a guy like Trump, driven by ego, laughter is a searing attack.
