So, another “relax but stay completely, 100%, alert” auto-drive feature? How does any of this seem like a good idea?

America, you are so weird.

“I’m telling you, you know what, Donald Trump is the last hope for white people, ’cause Hillary [Clinton] will give it to all the minorities to get a vote,” he reportedly said.

Wait, what? Is he under the impression that minorities don’t have the vote? Is he getting confused with minors?

I don’t know if it was a British thing, but they were a big deal for a while over here. Mainly for the cartoons - Arabian Knights and The Three Musketeers iirc, plus some weird island adventure (“Uh-oh, Jungo!” was a catchphrase I think) - but the Splits were popular too. I’ve got a beany of one of them knocking…

I think I called this right. Trump is fucked. He’s about to become a serious election liability, and the Reps are going to turn on him like rats.

Heh. Iirc, it’s more “if a man behaves badly, somewhere there’s a woman who’s at fault.” (a philosophy, iirc, that the matriach of the house basically goes along with). The thing that stands out is that the film doesn’t really question this belief, and basically ends up endorsing it.

To add some context, I watched this film first in about 1988, and even then I was gobsmacked (still laughed at everything else). What I’m saying is that this isn’t some #METOO reflex...

Simone’s playing out Descartes’ dilemma! (which, for added fun, directly references an evil demon)

Heh - yeah, but, because of the themes and story, you really, really notice it in this one. Like I said, I’m not suggesting anyone not watch it - it really is a lot of fun - just be ready.

Okay, avoid a fishing trip, but it’s there in the wb’s report - it wasn’t the first time they’d dumped embarrassing shit on the secured server.

IMHO he is now officially fucked. They can’t spin this for anyone except full-blown fanatics, and at some point the Reps are going to look at the bottom line, dump his fat arse, and go with impeachment, hoping to get out with sort of integrity still in place.

Well, that’s what I’m saying. People don’t write ‘60s - they write 60's (or 1960's, which to me should be just “1960s”).

I suppose you could argue that it’s an implied possessive - the years belonging to the decade starting in 1960?

Why do we use apostrophes for plural years? Even weirder, when you drop the century, the apostrophe is in the wrong place - “the 60's” would make a lot more sense as “the ‘60s”.

Be warned - the review slightly elides over it, but there’s some first-rate misogyny on show that will have you wincing. I’m not saying don’t watch it (it’s great); just be ready for a few bumps...

Isn’t Trump after that Nobel? Oh, please give it to her, pretty please?

It’s going to be so confusing for the historians in ten years time when they can’t find anyone who remembers voting for Trump.

“There are no great political criminals; there are criminals who have committed great political crimes.” ~Brecht

“Your blackest crimes are
As deeply felt as other men’s good deeds.
As we believe in faith, so you believe in
Betrayal. No good impulse can corrupt you.
Unwavering in your inconstancy!

I mean, I don’t think anyone’s claiming she didn’t fuck up, but the scale of that fuck up, plus her willingness to both open fire and ignore procedure means that this is on her 100%.

Also, “high crime” is just a bullshit way of saying “scary black people”, just in case we missed who’s really at fault here.

I mean, to be honest, a vagina museum seems much more useful than a penis one.

Also, and a bit OTT, I was watching The Princess and the Frog last night, and it occurred to me that those big ball gowns are essentially vagina metaphors when you dance - they sort-of wrap-around the man and are all soft and squishy (this…

This is about the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I shall cheer myself up with this first day at school photo...
