The way she raises her fingers to her lips made my brain see a cigarette that isn’t actually there
Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (one of 7 Democrats who just voted to fund DHS) defends her stance.
Argues funding for ICE "is not the question." Instead, Senate Democrats have leverage for various demands.

Thinking about this when a Charlie Drake song came up on shuffle
That thing where you're trying to find a thirty-second clip of a Spike Milligan thing where he doesn't do a "comedy" racist accent, and eventually you have to settle for a bit where you can't tell if the accent he's trying to do is racist or not because it bears no resemblance to any human speech.

Frodo was so balanced on the knife's edge. Any "stronger" and he would have been overwhelmed by the ring too soon. Any "weaker" and he wouldn't have made it through the trials of the journey.
