I must have the opposite of whatever SAD is because the darkness gives me strength.
It never used to be dark by 5pm. They're doing this to demoralize you

Now that I’ve actually watched this, my love and appreciation for Rhea Seehorn has grown beyond what I originally thought possible.
The PaleyFest Pluribus panel I moderated is now up on YouTube. (My favorite part comes around the 33-minute mark, where Rhea Seehorn off the cuff expertly dissects an aspect of Carol she hadn't even thought about before.)

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

When It Happens
It’s been so long, you sometimes forget that eventually, IT will HAPPEN. It’s impossible to say when IT will HAPPEN. But it can’t be too long until...

pedophilia is the president's worst issue
Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

One thing that the Epstein emails have taught me is that lots of supposedly superior intellects don't understand basic grammar.

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

Remember when Roger Sterling had a mustache? It's important that we not let this kind of image slip from our collective memories.

Episode 1 (“Wheel of Fire”): People sometimes ask me if I’ve read the book, given how much I love the show — but the thing is, I cannot imagine this story without Himesh Patel, nor would I want to. My love of the show cannot be separated from my love of Patel’s performance.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.
