If you haven’t figured out by now that Trump is a racist piece of shit, and that’s what drives his base, then you’re never gonna figure it out.

Just a note for any reporters who need to see it.

If I were in that situation, there is a 100% chance I'd be fired for my repeated reply of "I'm rubber and you're glue..."
Just randomly remembered that my middle school had two teachers (a married couple) with the last name Condon. "Middle school teacher" is absolutely the worst-case scenario for people named "Condon."

“No politician is going to be perfect”

That’s certainly the case but it’s not much to ask for a politician who doesn’t get a boner from making the lives of the most vulnerable more difficult. Jesus.

A lot of people don’t seem to even know the degree to which they are geared to automatically see abuse from the abusers’s point of view, to telling the abuser story.

This drives a lot of the “paths to redemption” talk. Abuser culture sets an instinctive goal: restore the abuser.
It is also very telling that throughout the episode, the feelings/consequences they are trying to understand belong almost exclusively to the pedophiles, not to the victims. In fact, the word 'victim' only shows up in the transcript TWICE.

At least 50% of cited instances of "meteorologists being wrong" are due to the local news outlet choosing the most extreme model for their forecast to get clicks/viewers/etc. Stormgasm, as a radio guy I used to listen to called it.
It never ceases to amaze me that people will remember the one or two times the groundhog or Farmers Almanac was right and swear by them every year, but they'll remember the few times meteorologists were wrong and they'll never believe them. Mets need to hire the PR director from Punxsutawney Phil

"See how often the simple solution will elude us." --- George Carlin
You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

I second that demotion
I have determined that everything right now is All Too Much and it needs to be Considerably Less, so if reality could just dial it down a fucking iota or two, I think we'd all like that

Fun fact: "Disappearing Anus" was the title of the first draft of what became King Missile's "Detachable Penis."
Just saw the headline “cannibal jellyfish with a disappearing anus are terrorizing Venice” with a picture of a comb jelly and
1) LOL
2) terrorizing who?! The other comb jellies?? Comb jellies don’t sting
3) who told the shock jockey writing the headline about the disappearing anus thing?!

The Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani literally makes me recoil.
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

(Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All

Marilyn McCoo has one of the loveliest voices I've heard (and, as host of Solid Gold, was one of my first celebrity crushes).
Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.

Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

It's purely out of spite at this point, but I am committed - no matter how much pro- and anti- talk there is on my TL - to never finding out who this Will Stancil person is.

Weighing in on the important issues, as per usual.
I steadfastly maintain that there is no debate as to whether a hot dog is a sandwich. There is a clear, and I say obvious, answer: Technically yes... but no.
