don’t worry, gays are still perverts. even if we’ve moved from being perverts on the order of pedophiles or incest enthusiasts to being perverts on the order of foot fetishists or adult babies, we’re still regarded as perverts, and there are still plenty of people in positions of authority (cough, cough) who would be…

my father’s new younger wife has been all over that beat too, but i’m kind of expecting new half-siblings eventually, so... very irritating

one can only hope that putin understands, as the rest of us do, that he’s talking to a cranky toddler and tries again after he’s had a nap and a juicebox

give it two more weeks and there won’t be one person on staff at the secret service who’ll object. i mean, can you imagine actually being in his presence? i shudder.

so maybe we ought to keep the fetid pile of dingoes’ kidneys under a dollar-store wig in his signature overcompensation-size neckties, and maybe tell him he’ll have record-breaking applause and cheering if he tours a fan belt factory with a phenomenally-poor safety record, due to repeatedly slashed industrial…

i mean how monstrous was it the way people went in, after how her first pregnancy went, and shriek about conspiracies because she didn’t want to make a huge public thing of it when blue came along? she may be magical enough that when she kneels on the bare earth, flowers grow spontaneously, but she’s still a human…

off-topic party question!

cue 10,000 trolls rushing out of hiding to join the moderates in their condemnation. the fact is that there is a problem with whiteness that affects and is perpetuated even by well-intentioned white people. just by existing, white men like me are afforded benefits and, yes, privileges that other people aren’t, whether…

these white supremacist, big-pickup-driving, redneck tea partiers seem to all share the delusion that everyone on the left are a bunch of tofu-eating pacifists. if they’d paid attention for five minutes in school, or if they’d learned to read, they might have heard some things about russia in the early 20th century…

a more interesting potential implication of this finding is that it may be effective as a means of post-exposure prophylaxis, i.e. before the infection has actually set in. one hopes at that point that the pathogen would not have reached the back of the throat yet.

counterpoint: ms dolly parton has a number of songs with the word ‘mama’ in the title. excruciatingly sweet? sure. but ‘saccharine’ implies sweet and artificial. there are exactly two things artifical about ms dolly, and she paid good money for them so haters to the left.

took me shamefully long

i also am imagining she wrote that part to me

okay so from the title, i understood that this was the short-fingered vulgarian’s favorite lawyer for out-of-court settlements for the many lawsuits against him (fraud certainly, breach of contract probably, i have to imagine more than one sexual harassment suit, etc).
