Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

it’s the most diverse institution in america which is why they are trying to resegregate it.

The “oh well he was in the military, of course he’s racist” type arguments are getting on my nerves, condescending bullshit from people who have no idea how big and diverse the military is

The cliche about film actors was true: she was tiny and had an enormous head.

Just thinking about how Paul Wellstone was a community organizer for twenty years before he ran for the senate as an insurgent outsider, and how he'd run a plausible—though losing—statewide race six years before his senate run.

You learn stuff in the trenches. You gain skills that serve you well.

When I was 26 I spent 5 minutes standing next to Fairuza Balk and it ruined me for all other women.

(That's the excuse I use anyway.)

I am hoping for an Erfurt Latrine Disaster kind of situation.

Last week I made my chicken coconut curry and it turned out LAME. I usually roast whole chicken thighs and debone them but boneless thighs were on sale and I was pressed for time. MISTAKE. So flavorless.

In the 80s, when the Young Lions reigned and Crouch-ism ruled, liking Fusion and Funk was blasphemy. You had to wear a suit and pretend BITCHES BREW never happened.

So Stanley was our nemesis, but he was A GREAT NEMESIS. We would still make time for Art Blakey on his say-so.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

The question of Fetterman will always be "what if hadn't had the stroke?" but I don't think we need to work that one out on company time.

Clinic escort 1993-1995. Catching a fundie dead in the adam's apple with your elbow and not losing a step to get your client to the door untouched is a good exercise for a young person.

This is a weird discourse to watch as someone whose youthful-indiscretions phase was "helps kettle nazi skinheads outside hardcore shows"

I appreciate people keeping marginal tech afloat. I want 2” tape and 35mm to be available, even at boutique prices. My town has an excellent video store, partnered with an indie theater and national film fest-it only exists with non profit status and fundraisers. I give HEAVY but rarely rent.

If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff

They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit

I regret being dismissive of Kat‘s candidacy. I still don’t think she’s likely to win, but she is using the election to fight the good fight, and deserves respect for that.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.
