Carrie Fisher is a phenomenal writer. I read Postcards from the Edge and Surrender the Pink and Delusions of Grandma as a teen and more than many things (and I read a lot of things), they made me feel a lot less alone. People have been such dickheads to her of late because she dared to age past 19 and yet she is still…

I’m so old I thought of this rapper Mase:

White nationalists do. The rest of us mostly think of ourselves as whatever country we know or believe our ancestors came from, especially Irish Americans because we are super awesome.

No, we don’t think of ourselves as white, and as a woman who looks Italian (which I am, partly, cf my kinja name), I can tell you there are degrees of whiteness and I am not in the top ten. I’ve had jobs where WASPs sniggered behind my back because of my dark hair and skin that is darker than theirs (but still…

Okay, but — here’s the thing — does anyone think of themselves, consciously, as being “born white” as opposed to German, Polish, or Italian?

The HoF is a joke. It’s all industry politicking and isn’t a credible curator of the rock and roll canon.

There was a third sister called Magda. I believe she was older and not as pretty so she didn’t get much exposure and might have died fairly young?

This post makes for an excellent Christmas present.

I have to imagine that a lot of the old school republicans have some serious issues with the way things are going. I also have hope for people like Mccain and Graham, they’re old enough to say fuck it, and just do the right thing. The real question is how the rest of them gauge the political climate and Trump’s…

My only hope is the Lindsay Graham and John McCain, both being so outspoken about having an investigation, know something is rotten. I can’t believe I just typed that, but it really is going to take Republicans to stand against this since anything the Democrats is just a “conspiracy theory advanced by the liberal…

So, how is Trump not being investigated for treason? This really looks a lot like a conspiracy between billionaires to give control of America’s resources and political offices to a hostile foreign government.

i was thinking about how Drumpf would handle it.....

I’ll have to re-watch that episode and report back ;-)

That’s right... in my haste to find this clip and post it, I hadn’t realized the other notable element of this find. That the others, including those who have come and gone, and come back again, have lived to see today is I’m sure a miracle not lost on any of them.

I try not to celebrate or wish death upon anyone. I have faith in the belief that everyone eventually gets what is coming to them. Unfortunately, in many cases, it can’t happen soon enough. I am not entirely familiar with Mr. Thicke’s less than admirable past, but I do remember his late night show in the mid to late…

Growing Pains was sexist and homophobic? Wow, we really got different things out of the show. The father rearranged his life to accommodate the wife going back to work. And, the kids always bickered with each other. Beyond that, it seemed kinda bland.

The only reason to remember Growing Pains at all fondly is because it started Ashley Johnson’s career and she is sweetness and light.

While I don’t revel in the death of a human (Trump et.al excepted) I’m ok with this. Im friends with Gilbert Gottfried and Gil says Alan was a total shit to work for. Ungreatful, unkind, etc. He said he did Wife Swap mainly to show what an asshole Alan still was.

After what I just read I find that gif quite comforting.

Czech stop is good, but if you want a truly great kolache
