Everyone who wants to boycott the NFL halftime show should put their names on a list where they can only eat shitty American food. No ethnic foods at all.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

It was bad for a president to use his power to pursue political enemies when they could put a spin on anything Biden did. Now that this is their obvious play, it’s cool.

This story, published in July, becomes more relevant with every passing day as lawmakers and activists work to shutter clinics and restrict access to abortion pills.

We are careening toward a not-so-distant future where abortion is just a right on paper, even in the states where it's still legal:

The Plot to Effectively Ban Abortion Nationwide Is Unfolding Before Our Eyes

Lawmakers and activists are working to shutter clinics and restrict access to abortion pills. The end result would be catastrophic.

She knows who she voted for. She knows what she voted for. She’s only concerned because it personally affects her. Which means we’re not going to be making any progress.

Also, “political drama that isn’t solving a crisis” sums up all of their culture war bullshit but go off Marge

To be fair to MTG, she didn’t have time to focus on this during last year’s election cycle because she had to talk about space lasers and participate in the rallies.

I quit listening to Kanye after Graduation. I wasn’t feeling the direction of his music or his persona. I just left him alone. It wasn’t worth my time.

The people who don’t like Taylor Swift sure do allow her to take up a lot of space in their minds.

Why dedicate time to listen to and critique an artist you already know you don’t like?
